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 put Blender in water or other liquid.
- 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 the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Turn the appliance to “0” OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the Power Cord.

- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Voltage : 120 V~
Frequency : 60 Hz
Intensity (Amp.): 15 Amps
NOTE: If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
MOTOR HORSEPOWER
Motor horsepower for the Blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 3.5 peak horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and not the Blender’s horsepower output in the blender jar. As with any Blender, the power output in the jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This motor delivers 2.45 peak HP in the jar, enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for all your recipes.
PRODUCT USAGE
First, clean all parts and accessories (see “Care and Cleaning” section). Be
sure the countertop beneath the Blender and surrounding areas are dry and
clean.
Put the items to blend into the Blender Jar. Secure the Lid with the Ingredient-measuring cap.
NOTE : Do not fill Blender Jar past the topmost measurement mark, especially when blending liquids.
