Important safeguards

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons, including the following:

1 Read all instructions.

2 To protect against electrical shock, do not place the power cord, plug,

or motor housing in water or other liquid.

3 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near

children. For safety reasons, we recommend that children do not use
your blender.

4 Unplug the power cord from the power outlet when not in use, before

putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

5 Avoid touching moving parts.

6 Do not operate your blender with a damaged cord or plug, or after

your blender malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Return your blender to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.

7 The use of accessory attachments, including canning jars, is not

recommended because they may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

8 Do not use outdoors.

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

surfaces.

10 Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated

oven.

11 When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.

12 Use extreme caution when moving your blender when it contains hot

food, water, or other hot liquids.

13 Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to reduce

the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to your blender. You can
use a scraper, but only when your blender is not running.

14 Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

15 To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter assembly blades on the

blender base unless the pitcher is correctly attached.

16 Always operate your blender with the cover (lid) in place.

17 Do not use your blender for other than its intended use.

18 To disconnect, turn control dial to OFF, then unplug the power cord

from power outlet.

19 FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Plug your blender into an AC power outlet (ordinary household current). Do
not use any other power outlet.

DO NOT OPERATE YOUR BLENDER IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY
DAMAGE, OR IF YOUR BLENDER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS
WORKING ENTIRELY.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer, detachable power-supply
cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If a longer, detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

Polarized plug

Your blender has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Power cord safety tips

• Never pull or yank on the power cord or your blender.

• To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into the outlet.

• To disconnect your blender, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.

• Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts or abrasion marks. If any
are found, this indicates that your blender should be serviced and the
power cord replaced.

• Never wrap the power cord tightly around your blender. This could place
undo stress on the cord where it enters your blender and cause the cord
to fray and break.
