WARNING: When processing hot liquids:

• The two-part latching lid must be securely in place. This allows

steam to escape naturally and will prevent the lid from coming off when the machine is turned on.

• Use caution with hot liquids. Spraying from under the lid plug can

occur or escaping steam may cause scalding.

• Do not process hot liquids with the non-latching lid.

15. Display window area will scratch when contacted with a scouring pad or

sharp object. Use a soft cloth to wipe the control panel area clean.

MPcannot be cleaned with a water jet.

17. Installation for a 120 V AC unit requires you to have at least one 20 amp

outlet per machine, available within six feet of the Blending Station MP. 220 VAC and 100 VAC units require a dedicated line. Consult an electrician for proper electrical needs.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Enjoy the safety of this grounded appliance. The Blending Station MP U.S. power cord comes equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet (Figure A). This cord will vary for countries outside the United States.

Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the plug or power cord.

Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded through the building wiring. With a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet, ground the Blending Station MPby attaching the tab on the adapter to the wall outlet cover by means of the screw in the center of the cover (Figure B).
