risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of counter or table or touch hot
surfaces.

blender is turned off.

glowing, do not touch cutting assembly, interfere with blade movement,
or remove blender jar cover. Accidentally touching a speed button may
activate the blender.

NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way.
Maximum rating of 350 watts is based on the jar attachment that draws the
greatest power. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly
less power.
This appliance comes with a thermal resettable fuse feature to prevent
damage to the motor in the case of extreme overload. Should the unit shut
off unexpectedly, unplug it and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before
continuing (see "Operating and Safety Tips," on page 7).
