Warning: Insufficient liquid during processing may cause the plastic jar to break or chip.

Hot Liquid Safety

When processing hot liquids, remove the center measuring cap from the two-piece lid.

Boiling liquids can cause the lid to unlock from the jar, allowing hot liquid to escape and cause serious injury.

Warning: Do not blend boiling liquids. Hot liquids require particular care because escaping liquid can cause burns.

Child Safety

The appliance is not intended for use by people, including children, with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or insufficient experience unless they receive appropriate supervision and instruction.
