IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs or
appliance in water or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility or call the appropriate
toll-free number on the front of this manual for examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free
number on the cover of this manual.
• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk
of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be
used, but must be used only when the blender is not running.
• Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base
without jar properly attached.
• Always operate blender with cover in place.
• When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.

This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw
to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized
service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.
