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

• READ AND KEEP ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or incapacitated persons.

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

- Avoid contact with 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. Take the appliance to the nearest Authorized Oster Appliance Service Center for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

- The use of attachments, including canning and/or ordinary jars and processing assembly parts not recommended by the manufacturer, may cause a risk of injury to persons.

- Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons and/or damage to the blender. If scraping, folding, etc., is necessary, turn off and unplug the Blender, and only use a rubber spatula.

- Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

- To reduce risk of injury to persons, never place cutting blades on base without blender jar properly attached.

- Screw on jar bottom firmly. Injury can result if moving blades become exposed.

• Always operate blender with cover in place.

- Make sure that the voltage in your outlet is the same as the voltage indicated on the appliance.

- Always hold jar while processing. If the jar should turn when the motor is switched on, switch off immediately and tighten blender jar in threaded jar bottom. DO NOT leave blender unattended while it is operating.

- Be careful if hot liquid is poured into blender as it can be ejected out of the appliance due to a sudden steaming. When blending hot liquids, remove the feeder cap from the lid. DO NOT fill Blender jar beyond the 4 cup level. Always begin processing at the lowest speed setting. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the cover opening to prevent possible burns.

- To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put Blender base in water or other liquid. DO NOT let the cord hang over edge of table or countertop. DO NOT let cord rest against hot surfaces.
