3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

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.

5. Avoid contacting moving parts.

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

examination, repair or adjustment.

7. Do not use outdoors.

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

9. Keep hands and utensils, other than the tamper provided, out of the container

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed for household use only.

Voltage: 120 VAC

Frequency: 60 Hz

NOTE: 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.

The power rating of your Stand Blender is

printed on the serial plate.

The maximum rating is based on the

attachment that draws the greatest

load (power). Other recommended

attachments may draw significantly less

power.

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 1.5 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.
