13. When blending hot liquids or ingredients in the 40 ounce (1.2 L) container, spray or escaping steam may
cause scalding and burns. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent
possible burns.
14. If your machine is equipped with a variable speed functionality, always start at lowest speed setting.
15. DO NOT use the appliance for purposes other than its intended use.
