WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard:
This product is provided with a polarized
plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way
into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the
plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an
approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on
the same circuit with this appliance.
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters
Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly and jar
combinations that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as
replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of
operation. The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of
operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen fruit,
etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when power is
needed most.
NOTE:
This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor
stops during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for
approximately 15 minutes. Plug machine back in to resume normal operation.
