fill line.
For containers with no lids or vents (when inserted in the blender), such as
personal Blend and Go containers:

create pressure buildup. Only blend non-carbonated liquids and ingredients that
are at room temperature or cooler. If the container is warm to the touch, allow to
cool before opening.
20. Do not use the blender for longer than 1 minute at a time to avoid heat and
pressure buildup. Allow to cool for 1 minute between cycles.
For appliances with food processor or food chopper attachments:
21. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing or

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER CORD

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used, electrical rating of cord must be at least equal or
greater than electrical rating of appliance. Extension cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
North American models with polarized plugs:
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC
outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
