IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

❍Read all instructions.

❍To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid.

❍Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

❍Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

❍Avoid contacting moving parts.

❍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 appliance to the nearest authorized service facility or call the appropriate toll-free number on the front of this manual for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.

❍The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

❍Do not use outdoors.

❍Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

❍Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used, but must be used only when the blender is not running.

❍Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

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

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

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

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user- serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a)A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b)Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c)If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1)The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

2)If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3)The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.
