840164501 ENnv03.qxd 2/29/08 11:25 AM Page 2

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, or base 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 contacting moving parts.

6.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after 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 recom- mended 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 the stove.

10.Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the 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.

12.Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.

13.Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades.

14.To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly blades on base without jar properly attached.

15.Always operate blender with lid in place.

16.When blending hot liquids, remove center-piece of two-piece lid. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: do not fill blender jar beyond the 3 cup

(750 ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.

17.Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

18.To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF ( O ) then remove plug from wall outlet.

19.Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
