Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any heating appliance beneath the mounted unit. Do not mount the storage bracket/unit over or near any portion of a heating or cooking appliance or a sink or basin. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. A scraper may be used but must be used only when the unit is not running. Blades are sharp, handle carefully.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A. We do not recommend using an extension cord with this device. B. If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,

1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should

be at least as great as the electrical rating of the machine,

2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not

drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. C. This machine 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. In the interest of improving products, Krups reserves the right to change specifications without prior notice.
