IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

12. Keep hands and utensils, other than the tamper provided, out
of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury
to persons or damage to the blender. The cover must remain
in place when using the tamper through the cover opening. A
scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is
not running.
13. The rating of this multipurpose appliance is based on the
attachment (may not be provided) that draws the greatest current
and other recommended attachments may draw significantly less
current.
14. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when assembling,
disassembling, or cleaning.
15. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
16. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
17. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly on
base without blender jar properly attached.
18. Always operate blender with lid in place.
19. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender container as it
can be ejected out of the appliance due to a sudden steaming.
20. When blending hot liquids in the blender jar, 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.
21. Ensure collar on base of blender jar and travel jar is tight and
secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become
exposed.
