When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.

or base in water or other liquid.

near children. This is not a toy or children's product. This product
is not designed or intended for use by any children age 12 or
younger.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information
on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appli-
ance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter.
If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have
an electrician replace the outlet.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades while process-
ing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage
to the food chopper. A rubber spatula may be used but must be
used only when food chopper is not running.
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully.
12. Bowl must be in place before replacing knife blade.
13. This appliance is intended for processing small quantities of food
for immediate consumption, and is especially recommended for
preparing baby food. This appliance is not intended to prepare
large quantities of food at one time.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base
without first putting bowl properly in place.
15. Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating
appliance.
16. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the rating of the blender. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
