Hand Blender Safety

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade 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 attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

1.	Read all instructions before using.
2.	To protect against fire, electric
	shock and personal injury, do not
	immerse blender, its cord or plug,
	in water or other liquid.
3.	Close supervision is necessary when
	any appliance is used near children.
	Children should not use this
	appliance.
4.	Unplug from outlet when not in use,
	before putting on or taking off parts,
	and before cleaning.

10. Do not use appliance for other than
	intended use.
11.	When mixing liquids, especially hot
	liquids, use included beaker, tall
	container or make small quantities
	at a time to reduce spillage.
12.	Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
13.	Avoid contacting moving parts.
14. Keep hands and utensils away from
	the chopper cutting blade while
	chopping food to reduce the risk of
	severe injury to persons or damage
