properly, or if the blending or chopping blades are bent or damaged in any way. Do not
attempt to sharpen the blades. Take the appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination and repair.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
11. Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
12. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the motor body, power cord, or
electrical plug in any liquid. Only the blending rod, whisk, and chopper attachments are
designed for immersion in liquids for blending or cleaning. Always remove the attach-
ments from the motor body before cleaning them.
13. If the motor body falls into any liquid, immediately unplug the power cord and then
remove from liquid. Do not reach into the liquid without rst unplugging the unit.
14. To reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the appliance, keep hands,
hair, clothing, and utensils away from attachments and out of the mixing container
during operation. Avoid any contact with moving parts.
15. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base without rst putting
bowl properly in place.
16. Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
17. The blending and chopping blades are extremely sharp. Use extreme caution and
avoid contact with cutting edges when handling and cleaning the blades.
18. To reduce the risk of injury when assembling chopper attachment, set the work bowl
on the work surface and check the work bowl for the presence of foreign objects before
placing the chopping blade on its base.
19. Ensure that the chopping blade, lid, and motor body are all properly positioned
before attempting to operate the chopper attachment. Release the power button and
wait until the blade has completely stopped rotating before removing the chopper lid.
20. When blending liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or process small
quantities at a time to reduce the risk of spilling, splattering, and/or burning injury.

could damage the blade.
22. Do not attempt to operate the appliance by any method other than as described in
this manual. Aftermarket attachments or accessories not recommended by Kenmore
will void your warranty and may cause re, electrical shock, or injury.
