IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
READ All INSTRUcTIONS bEFORE USE
• Unplug cord from outlet when not in use or before cleaning.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in
water or any other liquids.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
• Never leave appliance unattended when in use.
• Close supervision is necessary when used near children.
• Flashing Power Light indicates ready to operate. Avoid ANY contact with blades or moveable
parts. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to prevent personal injury or damage
to the blender. A rubber spatula may be used only when the blender is not running.
• The blade is sharp. Handle with care.
• Always put the lid on the jar before operating the blender.
• Do not blend boiling liquids in the blender.
• When blending hot liquids, remove the flip-top spout cover from the lid. The steam from hot
liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns, do not fill jar beyond
the 2 cup level. With the protection of oven mitt or towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep
exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest
Authorized Sunbeam Appliance Service center for examination, repair or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
• Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes; this appliance is for household use only.
• Use this appliance for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments
that are not recommended by the manufacturer; they may cause injury.
• Always operate on a flat surface.
• Unplug the blender when it is not in use, before taking off or putting on parts and
before cleaning.
• The use of attachments not made by OSTER
®
products, including canning or ordinary jar
and processing assembly parts, is not recommended by Sunbeam Products, Inc., and may
cause injury to persons.

nstruCtIons
Please follow the instructions below to ensure the safe use of the power cord.
• This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade that
is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. This is
a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying
the plug in any way.
• You may use an extension cord, if necessary, but be certain to follow these guidelines:
– The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 120/127 volt,
60 Hz, 10A.
– The extension must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop, will not be within the reach of children and will not be tripped over.
• Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
