SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other).

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. Maximum rating of 500 watts is based on the jar attachment that draws the greatest power. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power. This unit comes with a resettable thermal fuse to prevent damage to the motor in the case of extreme overload.
