OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade)
that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polar-
ized 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.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the haz-
ards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a longer cord is
necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the blender. Care
must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. The contents
may freeze and may result in damage to the cutting blades, jar, blender and
possibly result in personal injury.
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriter’s
Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blades and jar combinations
that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts.
This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The
blender as provided may draw significantly less power.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of
operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen
fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when
power is needed most.
