parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.

damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer service number for

electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including
canning jars, not recommended or sold
