When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
■ Read all instructions.
■ To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put
cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
■ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
■ Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting
on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
■ Avoid contact with moving parts.
■ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped
or damaged in manner. Call our toll-free customer service
number for information on examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
■ The use of attachments, including canning jars, not
recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer
may cause a risk of injury to persons.
■ Do not use outdoors.
■ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or
touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
■ 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.
■ Blades are sharp; handle carefully–especially when
assembling, disassembling or cleaning inside blender jar.
■ Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
■ Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades.
■ To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blades on
base without jar properly attached.
■ Always operate blender with lid in place.
■ 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.

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 using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, 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 blender. 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.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.
The contents may freeze and may result in damage to the
cutting blades, jar, blender and possibly result in personal injury.
If the cutting blades lock and do not move, it will damage
the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service
number for information.

WATTAGE/PEAK POWER INFORMATION
The wattage rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriter’s Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blades and jar combinations that may not be provided
with your unit but are available as replacement parts. This is a
measure of input wattage 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 deliver when power is needed
most.
Thank you for purchasing our product!
Your blender is designed with Wave~Action
™
blending
