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 500 watts is based on the jar attachment that draws the greatest power. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.
This unit comes with a resettable thermal fuse to prevent damage to the motor in the case of extreme overload. Simply unplug the unit, rest it for 15 minutes and continue.
