OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance accessory is intended for household use only. Use
for food or liquids only.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard: 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.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards 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 appliance. 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.
If the cutting unit blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor.
Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This
will freeze and damage the cutting unit, jar, and motor.
