IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
•
READ AND KEEP ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
•
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or
incapacitated persons.
•
Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning.
•
Avoid contact with moving parts.
•
DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Take the appliance to the
nearest Authorized Oster
or mechanical adjustment.
•
The use of attachments, including canning and/or ordinary jars and processing
assembly parts not recommended by the manufacturer, may cause a risk of injury to
persons.
•
Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to prevent the possibility of severe
injury to persons and/or damage to the blender. If scraping, folding, etc., is necessary,
turn off and unplug the blender, and only use a rubber spatula.
•
Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
•
To reduce risk of injury to persons, never place cutting blades on base without blender
jar properly attached.
•
Screw on interlock blade assembly firmly. Injury can result if moving blades become
exposed.
•
Always operate blender with lid in place.
•
Make sure that the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the
appliance.
•
Always hold jar while processing. If the jar should turn when the motor is switched on,
switch off immediately and tighten blender jar to interlock blade assembly. DO NOT
leave blender unattended while it is operating.
•
Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the food processor or blender as it can be ejected
out of the appliance due to a sudden steaming. When blending hot liquids, remove the
filler cap from the lid. DO NOT fill blender jar beyond the 4-cup level. On 6-cup models,
DO NOT fill beyond 5-cup level. Always begin processing at the lowest speed setting.
Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the cover opening to prevent possible
burns.
•
To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put blender base in water or other
liquid. DO NOT let the cord hang over edge of table or countertop. DO NOT let cord
rest against hot surfaces.
