OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food
or liquids only.
WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces 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.
If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will
damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service
number for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.
This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar,
blender, and possibly result in personal injury.
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting
blade assembly, jar combinations, and attachments 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.
BEFORE FIRST USE:
After unpacking blender, wash everything
except blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe
blender base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE
BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling cutting
blade assembly as it is very sharp.
