When using your blender, you should always follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before use.
• To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in water or other liquids.
• Always use the product on a clean, flat, hard, dry surface. There should be no material such as a tablecloth or plastic between the unit and surface.
• Flashing light indicates blender is ready to operate. Avoid ANY contact with the blades or moving parts.
• Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of injury or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running.
• 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 for examination, repair or electrical  or mechanical adjustment.
• The blender blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without jar properly attached.
• Always put the lid on the jar before operating the blender.
• When blending hot liquids beware of steam. Remove the filler cap from the lid to allow steam to escape.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces, including the stove, or hang over the edge of a table or counter.
• Unplug the blender when it is not in use, before taking off or putting on parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn appliance off by pressing ON/Off button and remove plug from outlet.
• This appliance is not to be used by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should not play with the appliance.

• The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
• When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.
• Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord.

Food Processor Accessory Additional Precautions

• Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.
• Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
• Never insert food by hand. Always use food pusher.
• Keep hands and utensils away from moving blades or discs while processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food processor. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the food processor is not running.
• To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs on base without first putting bowl properly in place.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.

• The maximum rating marked on the product is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load. Other attachments may draw less power.
  Power Cord Instructions:

• This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug for 120V and 127V units only.
  This type of plug has one blade that is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the  outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

• Try to position the blender near the power source to reduce the hazards associated with power cords (such as becoming entangled or tripping over a long power cord).

• Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord.

• Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the blender during or after use.

• Do not use an extension cord with this product.

Blending Tips

Liquids
Put liquids into the jar first, unless the recipe says otherwise. Add more liquid if ingredients are not blending properly.
Using the Filler Cap
Do not remove the lid while in use. Instead, open the filler cap to add smaller ingredients.
Ice Crushing
Without Liquid: use pulse button until you achieve desired results.
With Liquid: Add desired amount of ice cubes and water until ice floats. Blend on High until you achieve desired results then strain off water.
Working with Hot Foods or Liquids
WARNING: When you work with HOT FOODS, remove the filler cap to vent steam. Tilt the lid away from you partially covering the opening. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent possible burns.
WARNING: When you work with HOT LIQUIDS, remove the filler cap and start at a low speed, and then gradually increase to a faster speed. Do not add liquid over the 4 cup (1L) level. Always keep hands away from steam.

Ingredient Quantities
Use only the amount of food suggested in the recipes. If you want greater amounts, prepare in batches. Using larger amounts may overload and strain the motor. You might also get different results from those described.
