PRODUCT SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

1. Read all instructions.

3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.

7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
9. Keep hands and utensils, other than the Tamper provided, out of the container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the Blender. The cover must remain in place when using the Tamper through the cover opening. A scraper may be used, but it must be used only when the Blender is not running.
10. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
11. Always operate the Blender with the cover in place.
12. Do not blend hot liquids and ingredients in the Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter-assembly blades on the base without a Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar properly attached.
14. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the manufacturer, may pose a risk of injury to persons.
15. Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
16. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, the Lid Center Cap should remain in place over the lid opening. Always start on the lowest speed and slowly ramp to the desired speed when blending hot liquids or ingredients.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed for household use only.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage: 120 VAC
Frequency: 60 Hz

NOTE: If the plug does not fit in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
The power rating of your Stand Blender is printed on the serial plate.
The maximum rating is based on the attachment that draws the greatest load (power). Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power.

MOTOR HORSEPOWER

Motor horsepower for the blender motor was measured using a dynamometer, a machine that laboratories routinely use to measure the mechanical power of motors. Our 1.5 peak horsepower (HP) motor reference reflects the horsepower output of the motor itself and not the Blender’s horsepower output in the Blender Jar. As with any Blender, the power output in the jar is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself.

GET STARTED

It features variable speeds (from 1 to 5) and a Pulse ( P ) function to customize blending.

We encourage you to experiment to find the best speed for your favorite recipes.
