knowledge, unless they are closely
supervised and instructed concerning
use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or
near children. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.

removable cutting blade assembly
on base without personal jar properly
attached.

15. Do not use a broken, chipped, or
cracked blender jar.
16. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose

place. Remove filler cap only for
adding ingredients or to insert the
tamper.
18. Do not blend hot foods or liquids in
personal blender jar.
19. When blending hot liquids in the open
top blender jar, remove center filler
cap and close any edge lid opening

with the protection of an oven mitt or
thick towel, place one hand on top of
the lid, keep exposed skin away from
the lid, and start blending at lowest
speed.

turn off the appliance. To disconnect
cord, switch to OFF (O). Then remove
plug from wall outlet.

not be supplied through an external
switching device, such as a timer, or
connected to a circuit that is regularly
switched on and off by the utility.
25. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into
the food processor or blender as it
can be ejected out of the appliance
due to sudden steaming.
