WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard:
This product is provided with a
grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the
risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a grounded 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 into the outlet, 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. The extension
cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire
cord. 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.
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, 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 under a specified
load. 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 cleaning inside
of blender jar as the cutter assembly is
very sharp.
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.
