l Close supervision is necessary when any appliance
is used by or near children.
0
Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting
on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
0
Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair,
clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away
from mixing blades during operation to reduce the
risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to the
blender.
0
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord
or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to KRUPS Consumer Service Department
(see GUARANTEE OF PERFORMANCE) for examination,
repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
0

by KRUPS may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
0
Do not use outdoors.
0
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces.
0
Keep hands and utensils out of glass jar while
blending, to reduce the risk of severe injury to

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
Regarding your cord set:
A. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
B. Longer extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long extension cord is used, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, (2) if the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a grounding-
type 3 wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
D. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
