840141300 Blender 12/20/05 11:23 AM Page 3 I Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of severe personal injury and/or damage to blender. A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when blender is not running. I Blades are sharp; handle carefully- especially when assembling, disassembling or cleaning inside blender jar. I Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar. I Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blades. I To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blades on base without jar properly attached. I Always operate blender with lid in place. I When blending hot liquids: - Remove center piece of two-piece lid. - Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup (750 ml) level. - Always begin processing at the lowest speed setting. - Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the cover opening to reduce the risk of possible burns. I Screw on jar nut firmly. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed. I If the jar should turn when the motor is switched ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in jar nut, Sure Rest™ base, or cutting assembly. I Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating. I To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF. Then remove plug from wall outlet. I Do not use appliance for other than intended purpose. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION This appliance is intended for household use only. 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 blender. 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. 3
