IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
This appliance shall not be used by children. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put cord, plug, base, or motor in water or other liquid.
Turn the appliance OFF ( ), then unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Avoid any contact with moving parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
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.
Blades are sharp; handle carefully— especially when assembling, disassembling, or cleaning inside blender jar.
Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades.
Always operate blender with lid in place.
Ensure cutting blade assembly is tight and secure to jar. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
Check that the appliance is OFF ( ) before plugging cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to OFF ( ); then remove plug from wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose.
Do not place blender jar in the freezerfilled with food or liquid.
Electronic push button control (Model 58181): Flashing light indicates ready to operate. Avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts.
Do not blend hot liquids in personal jar.
Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender container as it can be ejected out of the appliance due to a sudden steaming.
When blending hot liquids, remove fillercapof two-piece lid or open vent opening of lid with mess-free spout, and close any lid openings along the edge 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.
CAUTION! In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly on base without blender jar or personal jar attached.
If the jar should twist or rotate when motor is switched ON (I), switch OFF ( ) immediately and tighten jar in collar or on blender base.
Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.

WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:

This product is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
If the cutting unit blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the provided customer service number forinformation.
