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 immerse
cord, plugs or appliance 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.
Call the appropriate toll-free
number within this manual.
• The use of attachments,
including canning jars,
not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge
of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces.
• Do not place on or near a hot
gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
• 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 blade assembly
on base without jar properly
attached.
• Always operate blender with
cover in place.
• When blending hot liquids,
remove lid cap from lid.
• 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.
• Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.

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.
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.
ELECTRICAL CORD
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the power cord or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
c) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed
