When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1.
Read all instructions.
2.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or
other liquid.
3.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4.
Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning.
5.
Avoid contact with moving parts.
6.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunc-
tions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer assistance
number for information on examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7.
The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
8.
Do not use outdoors.
9.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
10.
Keep hands and utensils out of jar 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.
11.
Blades are sharp; handle carefully–especially when assembling, disassembling or cleaning
inside blender jar.
12.
Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
13.
Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades.
14.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blades on base without jar properly attached.
15.
Always operate blender with lid in place.
16.
When blending hot liquids, remove center-piece of two-piece lid. Hot liquids may push lid off
jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: do not fill blender jar beyond the 3 cup (750
ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep
exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.
17.
Screw on jar nut firmly. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
18.
If the jar should turn when the motor is running, turn
OFF
immediately and tighten jar in
threaded jar nut.
19.
Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
20.
To disconnect cord, turn the control to
OFF
. Then remove plug from wall outlet.
21.
Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.

WARNING
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
