• The use of attachments not recommended by manufacturer, including canning jars
and/or regular jars, and food processing parts, may cause personal injury.

turn power off immediately, remove jar and tighten jar's threaded bottom cap. NEVER
leave blender unattended while it is running.

pop out of appliance due to a sudden steam burst. Remove filler cap from lid when
blending hot liquids. DO NOT fill jar beyond 4‑cup mark. In 6‑cup models, DO NOT
fill jar beyond 5‑cup mark. Always start operating blender at the lowest speed setting.
Keep hands and skin away from jar opening to avoid risk of burning.
