IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using blender.

• To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put blender motor

base, cord or plug in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.

• This blender is not for use by children.

• Close supervision is necessary when the blender is used near children.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off

parts, and before cleaning.

• Do not contact moving parts.

• Do not operate any blender with a damaged cord or plug or after the

blender malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. R e t u rn blender to the nearest authorized service center for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

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

Toastmaster Inc, may cause a risk of injury to persons.

• 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 may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running and use a rubber spatula only.

• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

• To reduce the risk of injur y, never place cutting blades on base without

blender container properly attached.

• Screw on container bottom firmly. Injury can result if moving blades

accidentally become exposed.

• Always operate blender with cover in place.

• Do not use outdoors or while standing in a damp area.

• Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

• Do not use blender for other than intended use.

• Do not blend hot liquids.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of

personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be (1)

marked with an electrical rating of at least 125V. and 10 A., 1250 W., and (2) the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countert o p or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature.

This product is for household use only. Your product may vary slightly from product.

• Blend small amounts of solid food at a time for best results.

unit off, remove the lid assembly and carefully push food down using a rubber spatula. Remove spatula, replace lid assembly and continue blending.
