PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USE • FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury, ﬁre, electrical shock or property damage, basic

safety precautions must always be followed, including the following numbered warnings and subsequent instructions.

22 Keep hands, hair, and clothing out of the

25 DO NOT operate the appliance with an

empty container.

26 DO NOT ﬁll containers past the max ﬁll or

max liquid lines.

27 DO NOT microwave any containers or

accessories provided with the appliance.

28 Before operation, ensure all utensils are

removed from containers. Failure to remove utensils can cause containers to shatter and potentially result in personal injury and property damage.

29 Keep hands and utensils out of container

while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper or spatula may be used but must be used ONLY when the blender is not running.

30 NEVER operate the appliance without lids

ENGLISH

35 If you ﬁnd unmixed ingredients sticking to

the sides of the pitcher, stop the appliance, remove the lid, and use a scraper or spatula to dislodge ingredients. NEVER insert your hands into the pitcher, as you may contact one of the blades and experience a laceration.

36 DO NOT attempt to remove the container

and lid from the motor base while the motor and Stacked Blade Assembly are still spinning. Allow the appliance to come to a complete stop before removing the lid and pitcher.

37 Upon completion of blending, ensure

38 If the appliance overheats, a thermal switch

will activate and temporarily disable the motor. To reset, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool for approximately 15 minutes before using again.

39 The maximum wattage rating for this

appliance is based on the conﬁguration of the Stacked Blade Assembly and Total Crushing® Pitcher. Other conﬁgurations may draw less power or current.

40 DO NOT spray the motor base or

touchscreen with water or other liquids.
