When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

WARNING! This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) 
that reduces 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, 
have 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 blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid. This 
will freeze and damage the cutting unit, jar, and motor.
