2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender in water

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and

5. Avoid contact with moving parts.

6. Do not operate the Blender with a damaged cord or plug or after appliance

malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to

BLENDER SAFETYBLENDER SAFETY Electrical requirements 10. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.11. Always operate Blender with cover in place.12. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by KitchenAid may cause a risk of injury to persons.13. When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.14. Flashing light indicates ready to operate - avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Voltage: 120 Volts A.C. onlyFrequency: 60 HzNOTE: 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. This product is designed for household use only. 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 0.9 peak horsepower (HP) motor reference reects the horsepower output of the motor itself and not the Blender’s horsepower output in the Blender pitcher. As with any blender, the power output in the pitcher is not the same as the horsepower of the motor itself. This motor delivers 0.75 peak HP in the pitcher enabling your Blender to deliver robust power for all your recipes. Motor horsepower W10770345B_ENv02.indd 5 4/7/15 8:51 AM6
