Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household
use only. Use for food or liquids only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has
a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces
the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying
the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the
plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, have an electrician replace the
outlet.
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.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled
with food or liquid. The contents may freeze
and may result in damage to the cutting
blades, jar, blender and possibly result in per-
sonal 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.
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage/ampere 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 provid-
ed with your unit, but are available as
replacement parts. This is a measure of input
wattage/amperes after 30 seconds of opera-
tion. 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.
