IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

• Read all instructions.

• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put blender base, cord or plug in water or

other liquid.

• 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 contacting moving parts.

• 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 the appliance to the nearest

authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover.

• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance

manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let the plug or cord hang over the edge of table or counter.

• Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury

to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when

the blender is not running.

• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter assembly blades on base without the jar

properly attached.

• Always operate blender with cover in place.

• When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the food processor or blender as it can be ejected out

of the appliance due to a sudden steaming.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V MODELS ONLY)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to ﬁt into a polarized

outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully into the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to

modify the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in

or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord

rated no less than 15-amperes. (For 120 volts rated products, use an extension

cord rated no less than 6-amperes). When using an extension cord, do not let it

drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip

over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet

and appliance connections.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent

removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of ﬁre or electric shock, do not

attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualiﬁed

personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.
