Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1 Read all instructions carefully.
2 To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put motor base, cord or
plug of the appliance in water or other liquid.
3 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4 Turn unit off and unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn unit off, grasp plug,
and pull from the wall. Never yank on cord.
5 Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing as well as
utensils, away from the cutting blade during operation to prevent injury
and/or damage to the chopper. A spatula may be used but only when the unit
is not running.
6 Blades are sharp; handle carefully.
7 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the
appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
8 The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufac-
turer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
9 Do not use outdoors.
10 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces,
including the stove.
11 Mixing flammable non-food substances can be harmful.
12 When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container, or make
small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
13 Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
14 Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.
15 This appliance is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
Save These Instructions
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Before Your First Use
Carefully unpack the blender and accessories, and remove all packaging materials.
Wash the chopper bowl, chopping blade, blade attachments, and hand blender
attachment in warm, soapy water to remove any dust that may have accumulated
during packaging. Do not immerse the bowl cover, motor base, cord or plug in
water. Wipe the motor base and bowl cover with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: The attachment blades are very sharp. Use care when handling.
