This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, 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 attempt
to defeat this safety feature.

Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the blender and accessories, and remove all
packaging materials. Wash the bowl cover, chopper bowl, chopping
blade and hand blender attachment in warm, soapy water to remove
any dust that may have accumulated during packaging. Do not
immerse the motor base, cord or plug in water. Wipe the motor base
with a damp cloth.
