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 intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. 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. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children.
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. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
Avoid contacting moving 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 while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running.
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 operate blender with cover in place. Always wait until all moving parts have stopped before removing any lid or cover.
When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover (if a two-piece cover is provided). Beware of steam. Do not blend boiling liquids.
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.

For appliances with food processor or food chopper attachments:

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

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.
