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.
❍ 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.
❍ Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
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.
