IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by

or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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

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

5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or

taking off parts, and before cleaning.

6. Avoid contact with moving parts.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or

plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

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

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

9. Do not use outdoors.

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

hot surfaces, including stove.

11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a

heated oven.

12. Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the

cutting blade, while blending or chopping food, to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender or available attachments (attachments may not be provided with blender). A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not running.

13. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when

assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

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

assembly on base without jar properly attached.

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

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

17. Always operate blender with lid and filler-cap in place.

Remove filler-cap only for adding ingredients or to insert the tamper.

18. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, remove filler-cap

from the lid. Use caution: spray or excess steaming may cause scalding and burns. Do not exceed the 2-cup (473-ml) level. Always begin processing on lowest speed. Keep hands and other exposed skin from the lid opening to prevent possible burns.

19. Ensure cutter assembly is tight and secure to jar. Injury can

result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

20. 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.

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

22. Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn OFF ( ) the

appliance. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF ( ). Then remove plug from wall outlet.

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

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

w WARNING

provided with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a grounded 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 into the outlet, have an electrician replace the outlet.

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. The extension cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. 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.

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is

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.

If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the customer care center 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.

NOTE: This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for approximately 15 minutes. Plug machine back in to resume normal operation.

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.
