IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
14. Keep hands and utensils, other than the tamper provided, out of container
while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to
the blender. The cover must remain in place when using the tamper through
the cover opening. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the
blender is not running.
15. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when assembling, disassembling,
emptying or cleaning blender jar.
16. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked jar.
17. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
18. Always operate appliance with lid in place. Remove filler cap only for adding
ingredients.
19. Do not run a soup cycle unless blender/mill has fully cooled to room
temperature.
20. When blending hot liquids in the open top blender jar, remove center filler
cap and close any edge lid opening intended for pouring. To prevent possible
burns: Do not exceed the 2-cup (473-ml) level. Hot liquids may push off 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.
21. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the jar as it can be ejected out of the

To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power
cord.
