IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

1.Read all instructions.

2.This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

3.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4.To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.

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

6.Avoid contact with moving parts.

7.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

8.The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recom- mended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.

9.Do not use outdoors.

10.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including stove.

11.Keep hands and utensils out of blender jar and chopper bowl while blending to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not running.

12.Blades are sharp; handle carefully – especially when assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.

13.Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.

14.Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.

16.Always operate blender with lid in place.

17.When blending hot liquids, open vent opening of lid, and close any lid openings intended for pouring. If pouring with lid in place, ensure the hinged cap is securely in place. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (710-ml) level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.

18.Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

19.If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.

20.Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

21.To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove plug from wall outlet.

22.Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
