Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Volts: 120 A.C. only. Hertz: 60
The amperage rating for your Immersion Blender is located on the serial plate. The maximum rating is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less current.
NOTE: This Immersion Blender has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Extension cords are available and may be used if special care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used:
•The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
•The cord should be arranged so it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
1. | Read all instructions. |
2. | To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put motor body, cord or |
| electrical plug of this Immersion Blender in water or other liquid. |
