840153700 ENv02.qxd 6/22/06 5:16 PM Page 3 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. The wattage rating of the blender is determined by an Underwriter's Laboratory test and is based on available cutting blades and jar combinations that may not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. This is a measure of input wattage 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 deliver when power is needed most. If the cutting blades lock and do 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 will freeze and can result in damage to the cutting blades, jar, blender and possibly result in personal injury. NOTICE: To prevent leakage of liquids from your blender jar, the round rubber gasket must be properly placed between jar and cutting assembly as shown in the diagram on page 4. 3
