SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety
precautions should always be adhered to, includ-
ing the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do
not put motor base in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
4. Always unplug unit from outlet when not in
use, before putting on or taking off parts,
before cleaning, and before removing food
from bowl. To unplug, grasp plug and pull
from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
