IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your blender, you should always follow basic safety precautions, including
the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR OSTER
®
BLENDER WITH RE-
VERSIBLE MOTOR TECHNOLOGY.
• To protect against electrical hazards,
DO NOT
immerse the cord, plug or motor base in
water or other liquids.
• Always use the product on a clean, flat, hard, dry surface. There should be no material
such as a tablecloth or plastic between the unit and surface.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of severe personal
injury or damages to the blender.
• If scraping is necessary, turn the power off and use a rubber spatula.

correctly, after you drop or damage the product in any way. Return the product to your
nearest Authorized Oster

• To reduce the risk of injury
DO NOT
leave the blade sitting out or exposed, always
completely assemble the blade to the jar before putting on the base and always put the
lid on the jar before operating the blender.

to allow steam to escape.

allow the cord to touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a table or
counter.
