WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, never place Blade Base on
Motor Base without mug properly attached.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including:
• Read all instructions before using.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not put cord,
plugs or the Motor Base assembly in water or other
liquid.
• After running motor continuously for three minutes, wait
at least five minutes before running the motor again.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts and before cleaning.
• Avoid contact with moving parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. If you experience any
problem with your machine, unplug it immediately from
the electrical outlet and then call Back to Basics® at
1.800.688.1989.
• The use of attachments including canning jars, not
recommended or sold by Back to Basics may cause a
risk of injury to persons.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a heated
oven.
• Do not blend hot liquids or foods. Never pour boiling water into any
blending container. Pressure can build in the blending container and
the hot liquid may escape when the blade base is removed.
• Remove the blade base form the blending container/mug after
blending and replace with the mug lid. Do not store food in any
blending container with the blade base attached. Stored food may
spoil over time, creating pressure in the blending container that may
cause injury when the blade base is removed. Remove the blade
base and wash after each use.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place the blade base onto the
motor base without the blending container/mug properly attached.
• Turn off the machine before removing the mug from the base and
before placing the mug on the base.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than intended use.
• Do not run motor without mug properly attached to motor base or
when mug is empty.
• Blades are sharp, handle carefully.
• Be sure to turn switch to off position after each use.
• To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet. Never pull on
cord.
• Never leave the house while the appliance is on.
• A short cord set is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. The
marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top
where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
