Other Consumer Safety Information 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. Wattage/Peak Power Information The wattage/ampere rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blade assembly and jar combinations 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. 4 840230700 ENv03.indd 4 6/28/13 9:59 AM
