WARNING
To Avoid Possible Burns, Never Start on Speeds Above 1 when Processing Hot Liquids in a Large Container.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents may burn. Always start on Variable 1, then slowly increase to 10.
DO NOT use your 20 oz. (0.6 L) cup or 8 oz. (240 ml) bowl to heat ingredients or to blend hot liquids. Heated
ingredients and liquids may create internal pressure which could cause the cup to burst and cause injury.
DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than 75 seconds for the 20 oz. (0.6 L) cup or 8 oz. (240 ml) bowl.
If a cup becomes warm to the touch or steams or vents, immediately stop blending ingredients and turn off or
unplug blender. Allow the cup and ingredients to cool to room temperature before removing the blade base.
Parts will become hot with extended use.
DO NOT touch the drive socket in the blender base or the drive spline in the blade base.
To avoid damage or personal injury, DO NOT use the cups (including the blade base or lids) in the microwave.
