SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons,
including the following:
•
Read all instructions.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and
instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
•
This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach
of children.
•
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
•
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or
other liquid.
•
Turn the appliance OFF( ), then unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet.
Never pull from the power cord.
•
Avoid contact with moving parts.
•
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement
and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
•
The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
•
Do not use outdoors.
•
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.
•
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
•
Keep hands and utensils, other than the tamper provided, out of container while blending
to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. The cover must
remain in place when using the tamper through the cover opening. A scraper may be used
but must be used only when the blender is not running.
•
Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when assembling, disassembling, or
cleaning inside blender jar.
•
Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
•
Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
•
Always operate blender with lid and emulsion cap assembly in place. Remove emulsion
cap assembly only for adding ingredients or to insert the tamper.
•
When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece lid or open vent 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 possible burns: Do not fill blender jar
beyond the 6-cup (1420-ml) level. With 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.
•
Ensure cutter assembly is tight and secure to jar. Injury can result if moving blades
accidentally become exposed.
•
If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON, switch OFF ( ) immediately
and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.
•
Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
