WARNING
To Avoid Injury. NEVER TOUCH MOVING PARTS.
Keep hands and utensils out of containers and cups during blender operation.
DO NOT insert fingers or utensils around the blades while the blades are spinning.
The blades will continue to spin until they come to a complete stop at the end of the blend
cycle. Allow the blades to come to a complete stop before handling the blade base and cups.
Properly align the arrows on the blade base and the cup or bowl BEFORE blending.
If the cup becomes un-threaded from the blade base during operation, turn the machine OFF
and wait until the motor and blades come to a complete stop before attempting to remove
the cup and blade base from the motor base.
WARNING
To Avoid Possible Burns, Never Start on Speeds Above 1 when Processing Hot Liquids in a Large Container.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents may burn. Always start on Variable 1, then slowly increase to 10.
DO NOT use your 20 oz. (0.6 L) cup or 8 oz. (240 ml) bowl to heat ingredients or to blend hot liquids. Heated
ingredients and liquids may create internal pressure which could cause the cup to burst and cause injury.
DO NOT continuously use your machine for more than 75 seconds for the 20 oz. (0.6 L) cup or 8 oz. (240 ml) bowl.
If a cup becomes warm to the touch or steams or vents, immediately stop blending ingredients and turn o or unplug
blender. Allow the cup and ingredients to cool to room temperature before removing the blade base.
Parts will become hot with extended use.
DO NOT touch the drive socket in the blender base or the drive spline in the blade base.
To avoid damage or personal injury, DO NOT use the cups (including the blade base or lids) in the microwave.
