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:
1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by children or 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.
3. 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.
4. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug,
base, or motor in water or other liquid.
5. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning.
6. Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact with
blades or moveable parts.
7. 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.
8. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended
or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to
persons.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including stove.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
12. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when assembling,
disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
13. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly on
base without blending jar or personal jar attached.
15. Do not blend hot liquids in the personal jar.
16. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
17. Always operate blender with lid in place. Open vent area only for
adding ingredients.
18. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into blender as it can be ejected
out of appliance due to sudden steaming.
19. When blending hot liquids, open the center vent lid and close any
edge cover opening intended for pouring. To prevent possible
burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup (710-ml) level. Hot liquids may
push off lid during blending; therefore, with the protection of an
oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of the lid, keep
exposed skin away from the lid, and start blending at lowest
speed.
20. Ensure collar on base of blending jar and personal jar are tight
and secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become
exposed.
21. If the jar should twist or rotate when motor is switched ON, switch
OFF ( ) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.
