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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
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 appliance. 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.
If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage
the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for
information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This can
result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and possibly
result in personal injury.
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade
assembly and jar combinations that may not be provided with your unit,
but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/
amperes after 30 seconds of operation. The blender as provided may draw
significantly less power.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds
of operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush
ice, frozen fruit, etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can
consume when power is needed most.
BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything except
blender base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe blender base with a
damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER. Care should be
taken when handling cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp.
