Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.
w WARNING
Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide
blade) that reduces 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.
If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage the motor. Do
not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This can result in
damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar, blender, and possibly result in personal
injury.
The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters
Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly, jar combinations,
and attachments that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as
replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of
operation. The blender as provided may draw significantly less power.
Peak power is the measure of the motor wattage during the first seconds of
operation. This is when a blender requires the most power to crush ice, frozen fruit,
etc. This is a better measure of what a blender motor can consume when power is
needed most.
BEFORE FIRST USE: After unpacking blender, wash everything except blender
base in hot, soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Wipe blender base with a damp cloth or
sponge. DO NOT IMMERSE BASE IN WATER. Care should be taken when handling
cutting blade assembly as it is very sharp.
