Important Safeguards

•Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner or in a heated oven.

•Do not blend hot liquids or foods. Never pour boiling water into any blending container. Pressure can build in the blending container and the hot liquid may escape when the blade base is removed.

•Remove the blade base form the blending container/mug after blending and replace with the mug lid. Do not store food in any blending container with the blade base attached. Stored food may spoil over time, creating pressure in the blending container that may cause injury when the blade base is removed. Remove the blade base and wash after each use.

•To reduce the risk of injury, never place the blade base onto the motor base without the blending container/mug properly attached.

•Turn off the machine before removing the mug from the base and before placing the mug on the base.

•Do not use this appliance for anything other than intended use.

•Do not run motor without mug properly attached to motor base or when mug is empty.

•Blades are sharp, handle carefully.

•Be sure to turn switch to off position after each use.

•To disconnect, grip plug and pull from wall outlet. Never pull on cord.

•Never leave the house while the appliance is on.

•A short cord set is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

•Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

•This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
