IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your blender, you should always follow basic safety precautions, including
the following:
• Read all instructions before use.
• To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in
water or other liquids.
• Always use the product on a clean, flat, hard, dry surface. There should be no material
such as a tablecloth or plastic between the unit and surface.
• Flashing light indicates blender is ready to operate. Avoid ANY contact with the
blades or moving parts.
• Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of injury or
damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender
is not running.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the
nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
• The blender blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without jar
properly attached.
• Always put the lid on the jar before operating the blender.
• When blending hot liquids beware of steam. Remove the filler cap from the lid to
allow steam to escape.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces, including the stove, or hang over the edge
of a table or counter.
• Unplug the blender when it is not in use, before taking off or putting on parts, and
before cleaning. To disconnect, turn appliance off by pressing ON/Off button and
remove plug from outlet.
• This appliance is not to be used by children or by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children
should not play with the appliance.
• Do not blend boiling liquids in the blender.
• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer
may cause a risk of injury to persons.
• When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.
• Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord.
