or has been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return
appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair or adjustment.
8. For appliances with markings on plug blade: This appliance has important markings on the plug
blade. The attachment plug or entire cord set (if plug is molded onto cord) is not suitable for
replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.
9. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may

10. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
12. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable
power-supply cord or extension cord is used on short-cord models:
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. When the product is of the grounded type, the extension cord shall be a grounding type 3-wire cord;
and
c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.
Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the blender during or after use.
19. If your blender comes with a grounded plug, connect to properly grounded outlets only.
For containers with no lids or vents (when inserted in the blender), such as personal Blend and Go
containers:
20. Do not blend carbonated, hot or boiling liquids and ingredients, as this may create pressure buildup.
Only blend non-carbonated liquids and ingredients that are at room temperature or cooler. If the
container is warm to the touch, allow to cool before opening.
21. Do not use the blender for longer than 1 minute at a time to avoid heat and pressure buildup. Allow to
cool for 1 minute between cycles.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature
or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet
feels warm do not use that outlet.
