IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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
assembling, disassembling, or 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 and filler-cap in place.
Remove filler-cap only for adding ingredients or to insert the
tamper.
17. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, remove filler-cap
from the lid. Use caution: spray or excess steaming may
cause scalding and burns. Do not exceed the 6-cup
(1420-ml) level. Always begin processing on lowest speed.
Keep hands and other exposed skin from the lid opening to
prevent possible burns.
18. Ensure cutter assembly is tight and secure to jar. Injury can
result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
19. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched
ON, switch OFF (O) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.
20. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
21. Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn off the appliance.
To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF (O). Then remove
plug from wall outlet.
22. Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
