I MP ORTANT S A FE GU A R DS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
• READ AND KEEP ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or
incapacitated persons.
• Unplug 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 appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Take the appliance to the
nearest Authorized Oster
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• The use of attachments, including canning and/or ordinary jars and processing
assembly parts not recommended by the manufacturer, may cause a risk of injury
to persons.
• Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to prevent the possibility of
severe injury to persons and/or damage to the blender. If scraping, folding, etc., is
necessary, turn off and unplug the blender, and use a rubber spatula.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce risk of injury to persons, never place cutting blades on base without
blender jar properly attached.
• Firmly screw on threaded cup bottom to jar. Injury can result if moving blades
become exposed.
• Always operate blender with lid properly in place.
• Make sure that the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on
the appliance.
• If the jar should turn when the motor is switched on, switch off immediately and
tighten blender jar in threaded cup bottom. DO NOT leave blender unattended
while it is operating.
• Be careful if hot liquid is poured into blender as it can be ejected out of the
appliance due to a sudden steaming. When blending hot liquids, remove the filler
cap from the lid. DO NOT fill blender jar beyond the 4-cup level. Always begin
processing at the lowest speed setting. Keep hands and other exposed skin away
from the filler cap opening to prevent possible burns.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put blender base in water or other
liquid. DO NOT let the cord hang over edge of table or countertop. DO NOT let
cord rest against hot surfaces.
• 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 have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they DO NOT play with the appliance.
