IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

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

❏ Read all instructions. Keep these instructions for future use.
❏ Verify that the voltage in your home corresponds to that of your

appliance.

❏ To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base,

or motor in water or other liquid.

❏ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near

children.

❏ Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking

off parts and before cleaning.

❏ Avoid contact with moving parts.
❏ Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or plug

or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Return appliance to nearest Sunbeam Appliance
Authorized Service Center for examination, electrical repair, mechani­cal repair, or adjustment.

❏ The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by

the manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.

❏ Do not use outdoors.
❏ Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot

surfaces, including the stove.

❏ Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce

the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to blender. A
rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is
not running.

❏ Do not use a broken, chipped or cracked blender jar.
❏ Do not use broken, cracked or loose cutting blades.
❏ To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blades unit on base

without jar properly attached. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

❏ Always operate blender with cover in place.
❏ When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.

Do not fill blender container beyond 3-cup level. Always begin pro­cessing at the lowest speed setting. Keep hands and other exposed
skin away from the cover opening to prevent possible burns.

❏ Screw on blade assembly firmly. Injury can result if moving blades

become exposed.

❏ If the jar should turn when the motor is switched ON, switch OFF

immediately and tighten blade assembly.

❏ Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
❏ To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF, then remove the plug

from wall outlet.

❏ Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

❏ This appliance intended for household use only. Use for food or

liquids only.

❏ This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug

has one blade is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce
the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it the plug should still fail to fit, contact
a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the
plug in any way.

❏ The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce

the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a long cord. If
a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the blender. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

❏ If the blender blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor.

Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information.

❏ Do not place blender in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This will

freeze and damage the blade assembly, jar and motor.
