IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when
assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly
on base without jar properly attached.
15. Always operate blender with lid in place.
16. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece lid or
open vent opening of lid with mess-free spout, and close any
lid openings along the edge intended for pouring. To prevent
possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup (750 ml) level. Hot
liquids may push off two-piece lid during blending; therefore,
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.
17. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury
can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
18. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched
ON (I), switch OFF (O) immediately and tighten jar in collar
or on blender base.
19. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
20. To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove
plug from wall outlet.
21. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
