This appliance is intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug. This type of plug has
one blade wider than the other. The
plug will fit into an electrical outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature
intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact a qualified electri-
cian to replace the obsolete outlet. Do
not attempt to defeat the safety pur-
pose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
The length of the cord used on this
appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an
approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the rating of the blender.
Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children
or accidentally tripped over.
If the cutting blades lock and do not
move, this will damage the motor. Do
not use. Call the toll-free customer
assistance number for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer
filled with food or liquid. This will
freeze and damage the cutting blades.
Before First Use: After unpacking the
blender, wash everything except the
blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry
thoroughly. Wipe the blender base
with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT
IMMERSE THE BASE IN WATER. Care
should be taken when handling the
cutting blades as they are very sharp.
IMPORTANT: Your
blender jar and
cutting blades are subject
to wear dur-
ing normal use. Always inspect jar for
nicks, chips, or cracks. Always
inspect cutting blades for broken,
cracked, or loose blades. If jar or cut-
ting blades are damaged, do not use.
Call our toll-free customer assistance
number to obtain replacement parts.
Consumer Safety Information
