12. Avoid contact with moving parts.
13. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
supply cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Supply cord replacement and
repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer,
its service agent, or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided
customer service number for information on
examination, repair, or adjustment.
14. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the
blender container as it can be ejected out
of the appliance due to a sudden steaming.
15. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap
of two-piece lid or open vent opening of lid with
mess-free spout, and close any lid openings
along the edge intended for pouring. Hot liquids
may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent
possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the
2-cup (473-ml) level. With the protection of an
oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top
of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start
blending at lowest speed.
16. Do not use outdoors.
17. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
18. Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and
away from the cutting blade, while blending
or chopping food, to reduce the risk of severe
personal injury and/ or damage to the blender or
available attachments (attachments may not be
provided with blender). A rubber spatula may be
used but must be used only when blender is not
running.
19. To prevent damage to blender, jar, or cutter
assembly, DO NOT move or shake blender
while in operation. If blending action stops
during operation, turn blender OFF, remove
jar from base, remove jar cover, and use a thin
rubber spatula to push mixture toward cutters.
20. Blades are sharp; handle carefully— especially
when emptying or cleaning the blender jar.
21. Inspect jar and cutter assembly daily. Do not use
broken, chipped, or cracked jar. Check cutter for
wear, nicks, or broken blades. Do not use broken
or cracked cutting blades.
22. If cutter assembly blades are loose, discontinue
use immediately and replace cutter assembly.
Do not attempt to repair or tighten cutter
assembly.
23. Always operate blender with cover in place.
