3018204-2 & 3018204-3).
1.2 CERTIFICATION
Blender and its accessories are certified by NSF
International (NSF), under K-TEC in the NSF Official
Listing.
1.3 AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS
• Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts.
• Keep all utensils away from the drive socket and blender blades during
operation. Metal utensils will damage blades.
• NEVER put hands into blender jar or add substances by hand when the
blender is operating.
• NEVER place jar into drive socket if blender motor is operating.
• DO NOT rock the blender during operation.
These precautions will prevent personal injury and/or damage to the blender.
1.4 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER IF IT APPEARS DAMAGED
If the blender malfunctions call your service agent first. If it is dropped or dam-
aged in any way, return the blender to a Blendtec service agent immediately for
examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or possible replace-
ment.
1.5 NEVER OPERATE BLENDER IN LIQUID
Do not operate the blender motor in water or any other liquid. Avoid all contact
between the motor and water. Do not use the blender outdoors where it is sub-
ject to precipitation.
1.6 NEVER PUT NON-FOOD ITEMS INTO JAR
Metal utensils, rocks and glass are dangerous if placed in jar. Damage caused
by such foreign objects will void the warranty. Keep hands and utensils out of
jar while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the
blender. Utensils may only be used when the blender is not running.
