knowledge if they have
been given supervision or
instruction concerning use
of the appliance in a safe
way and if they understand
the hazards involved.
• Do not use the appliance
near the edge of a
countertop or table. Ensure
the surface is level, clean
and free of water and
other substances. Please
be aware that vibration
during use may cause
the appliance to move.
• Do not use the appliance
on (or close to) a hot
gas or electric burner,
or where it could touch a
heated oven or surface.
• Do not allow the cord
to hang over the edge
of a countertop, or to
become knotted.
• To avoid electric shock,
do not immerse the cord,
plug or motor base in
water (or other liquids).
• This appliance is
equipped with a power
cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding
plug. The appliance must
be grounded using a
3-hole properly grounded
outlet. In the event of an
electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the
risk of electrical shock.
• If the power outlet is
a standard 2-prong
wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility
and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall
outlet. Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground)
prong from the power
cord or use an adapter.
• In order to avoid the
possible hazard of the
blender starting by
itself due to inadvertent
resetting of the overload
protector on the motor,
do not attach an external
switching device (such
as a timer) or connect
the blender to a circuit
