plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, have
an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to minimise 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 appliance. The extension cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care
must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the worktop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call
the customer care centre for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer when filled with food or liquid. This can result in damage to
the cutting blade assembly, jar and blender, and could possibly result in personal injury.
NOTE: This machine is equipped with motor overload protection. If the motor stops
during operation due to overheating, unplug and allow it to cool down for approximately
15 minutes. Plug machine back in to resume normal operation.
Wattage/Peak Power Information
The wattage rating of the blender is determined by an independent agency test and is
based on available cutting blade assembly, jar combinations and attachments that may
not be provided with your unit, but are available as replacement parts. 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.
