IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
• READ AND KEEP ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children,
or incapacitated persons.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Take
the appliance to the nearest Authorized Oster Appliance Service Center for
examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• The use of attachments, including canning and/or ordinary jars and processing
assembly parts not recommended by the manufacturer, may cause a risk of injury
to persons.
• Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to prevent the possibility of
severe injury to persons and/or damage to the Blender. If scraping, folding, etc.,
is necessary, turn off and unplug the Blender, and only use a rubber spatula.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce risk of injury to persons, never place cutting blades on base without
Blender jar properly attached.
• Screw on jar bottom firmly. Injury can result if moving blades become exposed.
• Always operate Blender with cover in place.
• Make sure that the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on
the appliance.
• Always hold jar while processing. If the jar should turn when the motor is
switched on, switch off immediately and tighten Blender jar in threaded jar
bottom. DO NOT leave Blender unattended while it is operating.
• Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the food processor or blender as it can
be ejected out of the appliance due to a sudden steaming. When blending hot
liquids, remove the feeder cap from the two piece cover. DO NOT fill Blender jar
beyond the four cup level. On six-cup models, DO NOT fill beyond five-cup level.
Always begin processing at the lowest speed setting. Keep hands and other
exposed skin away from the cover opening to prevent possible burns.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender base in water or
other liquid. DO NOT let the cord hang over edge of table or countertop. DO NOT
let cord rest against hot surfaces.
