Section 1: Important Safeguards
Read all instructions carefully before using your Blendtec
®
Stealth
®
machine.
1.1 Safety Certification
The Stealth blender and accessories are certified by ETL to UL standard (ANSI/UL
763) Issue: 2012/01/31 and to CSA standard C22.2 #195 Issue: 1987/03/01.
1.2 Health Certification
The Stealth blender and accessories are certified by NSF International.
1.3 Avoiding Contact with Moving Parts
Keep hands, hair, and clothing away from all moving parts. Keep all utensils away
from the drive socket and blender blades during operation. Never put your hands
in the blender jar or add substances by hand when the blender is operating. Never
place the jar in the drive socket if the blender motor is operating. Do not rock
the blender when it is operating. Keep the blender jar straight up until operation
is complete. These precautions will prevent personal injury and damage to the
blender.
1.4 Power Cord Precautions
Do not operate the machine if the plug or damaged power is damaged. If the
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Blendtec or one of its qualified service
agents in order to avoid a hazard. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the
work surface. Never use an extension cord with the unit. Unplug the blender before
removing the sound enclosure, changing the blender location, or cleaning.
1.5 Power Cord Receptacle
Ensure the electrical outlet that powers the blender is always accessible.
1.6 Electrical Circuit Precautions
Do not use other electrical equipment on the same circuit as the blender; doing so
may overload the circuit and damage the blender electronics or blow the circuit
protection.
1.7 Water Damage and Abuse
It is critical to prevent liquids from entering the motor base. The motor base has
been designed to deflect liquids from entering. However, in some instances of
heavy spillage or a lack of appropriate cleaning procedures (see Section 7), liquids
may enter the motor housing. It is important to promptly clean up all spills on the
motor, around the counter, and under the sound enclosure base (if used). Failure to
do so may result in liquids being pulled into the motor, which will lead to premature
