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 persons (including
children) 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 by
or 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. Avoid contact with moving parts.
7. 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 our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
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. Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the
cutting blade, while blending or chopping food, to reduce the
risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender
or chopper attachment (attachment may not be provided with
blender). A rubber spatula may be used but must be used
only when blender is not running.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
13. Blades are sharp; handle carefully — especially when
assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
14. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
15. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
16. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade
assembly on base without jar properly attached.
17. Always operate blender with lid in place.
18. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap and close
the 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.
19. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury
can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
20. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched
ON, switch OFF (O) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.
21. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
22. If blender contains food chopper attachment, be certain the
cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
23. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
24. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove
plug from wall outlet.
25. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
