When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord,
plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
4. Unplug cord from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a 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
information on examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recom-
mended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a
risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including stove.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the
cutting blade, while blending or chopping food, to reduce the
risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender or
chopper attachment. A rubber spatula may be used but must
be used only when blender is not running.
11. Blades are sharp; handle carefully — especially when
assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
