SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your
appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you

and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either

the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured
if you don’t immediatel

y follow

instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to
reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are
not followed.

Electrical Requirements

Volts: 120 A.C. only. Hertz: 60
The amperage rating for your

Immersion Blender is located on the
serial plate. The maximum rating is
based on the attachment that draws
the greatest load. Other
recommended attachments may
draw significantly less current.

NOTE: This Immersion Blender has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, this plug will fit
in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way.

Extension cords are available and
may be used if special care is
exercised in their use.

If a long extension cord is used:

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

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