IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug,
or base in or near water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the 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, including canning jars, not recommended
or sold by appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to
persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces, including the stove.
10. 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.
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully–especially when cleaning
inside blender jar.
12. Do not use a broken, chipped or cracked blender jar.
13. Do not use broken, cracked or loose cutting blades.
14. Always operate blender with lid in place.
15. When blending hot liquids, remove center-piece of two-piece lid.
Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending. To prevent
possible burns: do not fill blender jar beyond the 3 cup (750 ml)
level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place
one hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start
blending at lowest speed.
16. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
