important safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
•Read all instructions. Keep these instructions for future use.
•Verify that the voltage in your home corresponds to that of your appliance.
•To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
•Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
•Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
•Avoid contact with moving parts.
•Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to nearest Sunbeam Appliance Authorized Service Center for examination, electrical repair, mechanical repair, or adjustment.
•The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufac- turer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
•Do not use outdoors.
•Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
•Keep hands and utensils out of container 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.
•Do not use a broken, chipped or cracked blender jar.
•Do not use broken, cracked or loose cutting blades.
•To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting unit blades on base without jar properly attached.
•Blades are sharp, handle with care.
•Always operate blender with cover in place.
•Screw on blade assembly firmly. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
