8.Do not use outdoors.
9.Do not let cord hang over edge of counter or table or touch hot surfaces.
10.Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending, to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to blender itself. A rubber or plastic spatula may be used but must be used only when the blender is turned off.

NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will 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 modify the plug in any way.
Maximum rating of 350 watts is based on the jar attachment that draws the greatest power. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.
This appliance comes with a thermal resettable fuse feature to prevent damage to the motor in the case of extreme overload. Should the unit shut off unexpectedly, unplug it and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before continuing (see “Operating and Safety Tips,” on page 5).
