IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including stove.
12. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
13. 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
(attachments may not be provided with blender). A rubber
spatula may be used but only when blender is not running.
14. Blades are sharp; handle carefully—especially when
assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
15. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
16. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
17. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade
assembly on base without jar properly attached.
18. Always operate blender with lid in place.
19. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into blender as it can be
ejected out of appliance due to sudden steaming.
20. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap and close
the edge cover opening intended for pouring. To prevent
possible burns: Do not exceed the 3-cup (710-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. Ensure cutting blade assembly is tight and secure to jar. Injury
can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
