IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following:

Read all instructions before using.

1. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse
cord, plug, blender unit, or motor unit in water or
other liquid.

2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.

3. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting
on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

4. Make sure the blender is in the OFF position (O)
before unplugging or plugging into any electrical outlet.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts.

6. Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord
or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the
Blender to the retail location where it was purchased
for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual.The use of attachments,
including canning jars, is not recommended by Philips
Electronics North America Corporation, as they may
cause a risk of injury to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors or operate where oxygen is
being administered or in the presence of explosive
and/or flammable fumes.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

10. This appliance is intended for household use ONLY; it
is not for commercial or industrial use.

11. Any service of the Blender should be performed by
the retail location where it was purchased.

12. To disconnect, press the "O" button to "0FF" position,
then remove plug from electrical outlet. Remove plug
by gripping the plug body and pulling it from the
outlet. Never yank or twist the cord to unplug.

13. Make sure the motor and the blades completely stop
turning before putting on or taking off parts.

14. Keep hands, hair, and clothing, as well as spatulas and
other utensils out of blender jar and away from sharp
blades while blending to prevent the possibility of
severe injury to persons and/or damage to the Blender.
If scraping, folding, etc., is necessary, Blender must be
turned off and unplugged, and only use a rubber spatula.

15. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully and with caution.

16. To reduce risk of injury to persons, never place
mixing blades on base without blender jar properly
attached.

17. Screw on blender jar bottom firmly. Injury can result if
moving blades become exposed.

18 Always operate Blender with lid in place and in

"closed" position.

19. Always hold blender jar while processing. If the jar
should turn when the motor is switched "ON", switch
Blender "OFF" by pressing "O" button immediately and
tighten blender jar in threaded container bottom.

20. Do not fill the blender jar with ingredients hotter than
140ºF/60ºC.

21. To avoid spillage, do not fill blender jar above the
maximum level indication (5 cups/1.25 liters),
particularly when blending liquids. Always insert
stopper into the lid before you begin processing.

22. Never let the appliance run unattended.

23. When blending hot liquids, remove the stopper from
the two-piece cover. DO NOT fill beyond 5 cups/1.25
liters level. Always begin processing at the lowest
speed setting. Keep hands and other exposed skin
away from the cover opening to prevent possible burns.

24. The blender jar is made of glass and therefore
breakable. Do not drop the glass container on a
floor or hard surface. Avoid extreme temperatures.
If the glass container is very cold, rinse it well with
lukewarm water before pouring in hot liquid.

25. If the glass jar cracks, discontinue use.

26. Always make sure that the rubber sealing ring is

in the correct position before you use the Blender.

27. The blender base is intended for use only with this
blender jar. Do not substitute any other blender jar.

28. This Blender has been equipped with an automatic
safety cut-out which cuts off the power supply in case
of an overload. In this case, the pin at the bottom of
the Blender will pop out. If you push the pin back into
the appliance, it will start again.

SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

This Blender has a short cord to reduce the hazards of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An
extension cord may be used if the rating is equal to or
greater than the rating of the Blender. Use an extension
cord rated 13 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to
arrange extension cord so that it will not drape over
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Operating the Blender and another appliance at the same
time from the same electrical circuit could cause an
electrical overload condition, which would blow the fuse or
trip the circuit breaker.

SPECIAL POLARIZED PLUG
INSTRUCTIONS

This Philips Blender has a polarized plug for an
added safety feature (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:

• Plug will fit into polarized outlet only one way.

• If plug does not properly fit outlet at first, reverse it.

• If plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
