IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,

plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used

by or near children.

4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting

on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5. Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact

with blades or moveable parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or

plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not

recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch

hot surfaces, including stove.

10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce

the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not running.

11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when

assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.

13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.

14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly

on base without jar properly attached.

15. Always operate blender with lid in place.

16. When blending hot liquids, open vent opening of lid, and close

any lid openings intended for pouring. If pouring with lid in place, ensure the hinged cap is securely in place. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (750-ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.

17. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury

can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

18. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON (I), switch OFF (O) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.

19. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

20. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove

plug from wall outlet.

21. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug

(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Wattage/Peak Power Information

The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly and jar combinations that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.

Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when power is needed most.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information.

Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and possibly result in personal injury.

BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp.

Cleaning Your Blender

w WARNING

Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

Wipe blender base, control panel, and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, nonabrasive cleanser.

DISHWASHER-SAFE

Blender Tips

•

To add foods when blender is operating, open hinged pouring cap and add ingredients through the opening.

•

For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/250 ml). Add more liquid if food is not blending properly.

•

If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.

Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.

•

Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.

•

Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or at any time.
