Weston 58918 Manual page 3

This appliance is intended for household use only.
w WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard:
This appliance is provided with a
grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the
risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a grounded 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 into the outlet, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
NOTE: This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops
during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for approximately
15 minutes. Plug machine back in to resume normal operation.
The wattage/ampere rating of
the blender is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test and
is based on available cutting blade
assembly, jar combinations, and
attachments 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 under a specified load.
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.
Other Consumer Safety Information
Wattage/Peak Power Information
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. The extension
cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire
cord. 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.
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 cleaning inside
of blender jar as the cutter assembly is
very sharp.
