When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,
plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. 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.
7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not
recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer
may cause a risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of blender jar while blending to
reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to
blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used
only when blender is not running.
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when
assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly
on base without blender jar properly attached.
15. Always operate blender with lid in place.
16. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece
lid 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 two-piece 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.
17. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury
can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
18. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched
ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.
19. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
20. Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn the control to OFF
(O). To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then
remove plug from wall outlet.
21. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
