Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only. Use for food or liquids only.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:
This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. 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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, has an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce 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.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. If the cutting unit blades lock and do not move, it will damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer service number for information. Do not place the blender jar freezer filled with food or liquid. This will freeze and damage the cutting unit, jar, and motor.

Care and Cleaning
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:
Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse the cord, plug, or base in any liquid.

- Wipe the blender base and cord with a damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser.
- Store the cord in the back of the base.
Troubleshooting
- Does not blend well. Not enough liquid was added to the jar. For correct blending, you need to add 1/2 to 1 cup (118-236 ml) of liquid (milk, juice, yogurt) before adding other ingredients.
- Pieces of ice or frozen fruits are stuck under the blade. Take the jar off of the base and shake. Place on base and blend, or add more liquid. Blending fresh fruit requires less liquid than blending frozen fruit.
