USER MANUAL BLC10650MB BLACK & DECKER

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

Read all instructions.

To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put blender base, cord or plug in water or other liquid.

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

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

Avoid contacting moving parts.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number listed on the cover of this manual.

The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not let the plug or cord hang over the edge of table or counter.

Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the blender. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the blender is not running.

Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutter assembly blades on base without the jar properly attached.

Always operate blender with cover in place.

When blending hot liquids, remove center piece of two-piece cover.

Do not use appliance for other than intended use. SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS. POLARIZEDPLUG(120VModelsOnly) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. ELECTRICALCORD The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated no less than 15-amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than 6-amperes). When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections. TAMPER-RESISTANTSCREW

• The lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be used as a measure when adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor (E).

• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans, make sure blender jar is completely dry.

• When using PULSE function, use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
