12.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
13.
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.
14.
Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when assembling, disassembling,
emptying or cleaning blender jar.
15.

22. CAUTION!
In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal

and off by the utility.
23.
If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched on, switch OFF ( )

moving blades accidentally become exposed.
25.

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

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.
