ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not let cord contact hot surface, including the stove.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not plug cord into wall outlet unless power switch is in “OFF” position.
• Always turn control to “OFF” and unplug the appliance from outlet when not in
use, before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not
recommended, if you must use one, the marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled by children or tripped over.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Do not attempt to use a voltage converter or other device to adapt your appliance
to a different outlet or voltage, as damage will occur.

jar, disassemble and clean following the instructions in the assembling and
cleaning sections of this manual.
• Do not use a cracked blending jar or a blending jar having a loose or weakened
cutting blade retainer.
