When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless
they are closely supervised and
instructed concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or
near children. Children should be

not play with the appliance.

12. 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 available attachments
(attachments may not be provided
with blender). A rubber spatula
may be used but must be used only
when blender is not running.
13. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—
especially when cleaning inside
blender jar.
14. Do not use a broken, chipped, or
cracked blender jar.
15. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose
cutting blade assembly.
16. Always operate blender with lid in
place. Remove emulsion cup only for
adding ingredients or to insert the
tamper.
17. When blending hot liquids, secure
emulsion cup and close any edge
cover opening intended for pouring.
To prevent possible burns: Do not
exceed the 6-cup (1420-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.
18. Ensure cutter assembly is tight and
secure to jar. Injury can result if
moving blades accidentally become
exposed.
19. Do not leave blender unattended
while it is operating.
20. Before plugging cord into wall
outlet, turn off the appliance. To
disconnect cord, switch to OFF (O).
Then remove plug from wall outlet.
21. Do not use appliance for other than
intended purpose.
