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 before using this product.
To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
This appliance is not to be used by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should not play with the appliance.
Never leave appliance unattended when in use.
Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then unplug power cord from outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on cord.
Flashing light indicates ready to operate (models with stand-by mode). Avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Do not attempt to replace or splice a damaged cord. Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair or adjustment.
For appliances with markings on plug blade: This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cordset (if plug is molded onto cord) is not suitable for replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.
The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
Keep hands and utensils out of container to reduce the risk of injury to persons or damage to the blender.
Never add to container while appliance is operating.
Container must be properly in place before operating appliance.
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully, especially when removing the blades from the container, emptying the container and during cleaning.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on base without jar properly attached.
Always hold container while operating the appliance. If the container should turn when the motor is turned ON, switch appliance OFF immediately and tighten the container in the threaded bottom.
Always wait until all moving parts have stopped before removing the container.
Do not blend carbonated, hot or boiling liquids and ingredients, as this may create pressure buildup. Only blend non-carbonated liquids and ingredients that are at room temperature or cooler. If the container is warm to the touch, allow to cool before opening.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Misuse can cause injuries. Always use appliance on a dry, stable, level surface. Never fill beyond the MAX fill line.
Do not use the blender for longer than 3 minutes at a time to avoid heat and pressure buildup. Allow to cool for 1 minute between cycles.
For appliances with food chopper attachments:
Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food chopper. A scraper may be used but only when the food chopper is not running.
To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base without first putting container properly in place.
Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

North American models with polarized plugs:

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this pLug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the PLUG does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

Power Cord Instructions:

A short power-supply cord or detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power- supply cord or extension cord is used on short-cord models:

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;
When the product is of the grounded type, the extension cord shall be a grounding type 3-wire cord; and
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

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.
