Important Safety Instructions

Please read all instructions carefully before using the blender. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the appliance.

• Always ensure the lid is securely attached before operating the blender. The magnetic safety design prevents operation without the lid.
• Do not blend hot liquids. Blending hot liquids can create pressure and cause the lid to detach, resulting in burns.
• Keep hands and utensils out of the blending cup while blending to prevent injury.
• Do not immerse the motor base in water or other liquids.
• Unplug the blender from the power source before cleaning or when not in use.
• This appliance is not intended for use by children. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
• Use only attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
