•Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the blender. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug.
•Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.
•Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during operation.
•Do not attempt to use a voltage converter or other device to adapt your blender to a different outlet or voltage, as damage
will occur.
CAUTION
To prevent personal injuries, read and follow all instructions and warnings.
