IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
14. Keep hands and utensils out of the jar and away from the cutting blade,
while blending or chopping food, to reduce the risk of severe personal
injury and/or damage to the blender (attachments may not be provided
with blender). A rubber spatula may be used but must be used only when
blender is not running.

20. Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the blender container as it can be
ejected out of the appliance due to a sudden steaming.
21. When blending hot liquids, remove filler-cap of two-piece lid or open vent
opening of lid with mess-free spout, and close any lid openings along the
edge intended for pouring. Hot liquids may push lid off jar during blending.

level. With the protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on
top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at lowest speed.
