Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before use

•Unplug cord from outlet when not in use or before cleaning.

•To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in water or any other liquids.

•Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

•Never leave appliance unattended when in use.

•Close supervision is necessary when used by or near children.

•Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to prevent personal injury or damage to the blender. A rubber spatula may be used only when the blender is not running.

•The blade is sharp. Handle with care.

•To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without jar properly attached.

•Always put the lid on the jar before operating the blender.

•Do not blend boiling liquids in the blender.

•When blending hot liquids beware of steam. Remove the filler cap from the lid to allow steam to escape.

•Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Authorized Sunbeam Appliance Service Center for examination, repair or electrical mechanical adjustment.

•Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes; this appliance is for household use only.

•Always operate on a flat surface.

Power Cord Instructions

Please follow the instructions below to ensure the safe use of the power cord.

•This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade that is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

•You may use an extension cord, if necessary, but be certain to follow these guidelines:

–The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 120/127 Volt, 60 Hz, 10A.

–The extension must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, will not be within the reach of children, and will not be tripped over.
