2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put Stand Blender base in water or other liquid.

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.

4. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed for household use only.

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 0.9 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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Voltage: 120 VAC

Frequency: 60 Hz

NOTE: This Blender is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF YOUR BLENDER MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILS TO OPERATE

- Is the Blender plugged into a grounded electrical outlet?

Plug the Blender into a grounded electrical outlet.

- Is the fuse in the circuit to the Blender in working order?

If you have a circuit breaker box, make sure the circuit is closed. Try unplugging the Blender, then plug it back into a grounded electrical outlet.

- If Blender stops while blending:

The Blender becomes overloaded or jammed when blending heavy ingredients. It will automatically shut off to prevent damage to the motor. Unplug the power cord. Remove the Blender Jar from the base and use a spatula to rearrange ingredients in the Blender Jar.

If it's overloaded, divide contents into smaller batches. For certain recipes, adding liquid to the Blender Jar may also reduce the load on the Blender.

- If the ingredients of a recipe aren't blending:

There may be times when an air pocket is created around the blade, causing the ingredients to miss the blending blade. Unplug the power cord. Remove the Blender Jar from the base, and use a spatula to rearrange ingredients in the Blender Jar.

- If Blender stops while blending with Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar:

If Blender stops, unplug the power cord. Remove the Personal Jar or Small Batch Jar from the base, and shake it a little bit. Place it back on the base, and then turn the Blender back on to continue regular use.

- If the problem cannot be corrected:

See the "Warranty and Service" sections. Contact an authorized service center for assistance.

Do not return the Blender to the retailer – retailers do not provide service.
