The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade
assembly 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 sec-
onds 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.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
After unpacking blender, wash everything
except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe blend-
er base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN
WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting blade assembly
as it is very sharp.

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 polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, 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 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 table-
top 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
23.
CAUTION!
In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent reset-
ting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied
through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connect-
ed to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
24.
If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON,
switch OFF ( ) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender
base.
25.
Ensure cutter assembly is tight and secure to jar. Injury can result if
moving blades accidentally become exposed.
