IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
12. Do not use a broken, chipped, or cracked blender jar.
13. Do not use broken, cracked, or loose cutting blade assembly.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade assembly
on base without jar properly attached.
15. Always operate blender with lid in place.
16. 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. To prevent
possible burns: Do not fill blender jar beyond the 3-cup
(750-ml) 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.
17. Ensure collar on base of blender jar is tight and secure. Injury
can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
18. If the jar should twist or rotate when the motor is switched
ON, switch OFF immediately and tighten jar in collar or on
blender base.
19. Do not leave blender unattended while it is operating.
20. Before plugging cord into wall outlet, turn the control to OFF.
To disconnect cord, turn the control to OFF. Then remove plug
from wall outlet.
