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. Avoid contact with moving 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 blender 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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 blender jar properly attached.
15. Always operate blender with lid in place.
16. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece
lid and close the edge cover opening intended for pouring.
To prevent possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup
(710-ml) level. Hot liquids may push off two-piece lid during
blending; therefore, with the protection of an oven mitt or
thick towel, place one hand on top of the lid, keep exposed
skin away from the lid, and 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, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.
19. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
20. Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn the control to OFF
(O). 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, jar combinations, and attachments 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.
