shock or personal injury, do not
immerse the electric plug, or the

in a dishwasher.
10. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the

electric shock, or injury.
11. Do not use the appliance for
anything other than its intended
purpose.
12. Check inside the appliance for any
foreign objects before using.

Appliance shakes
during use.
Due to the greater working resistance of the S
blade, if larger ingredients are placed in the
jar the appliance may shake once it is turned
on. It is recommended that you firmly hold
the handle of the jar when chopping larger
ingredients, releasing it once the appliance
stabilizes.
