Power Cord Instructions Please follow the instructions below to ensure the safe use of the power cord. • This blender has a power cord storage area that allows you to adjust the length of the cord so that it is the appropriate length for your location. Try to position the blender near the power source to reduce the hazards associated with power cords (such as becoming entangled or tripping over a long power cord). • For blenders purchased in the U.S. and Canada: this appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet in only one direction. If you cannot completely insert the power plug into the power outlet, reverse the direction of the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. • Do not pull, twist or otherwise abuse the power cord. • Do not wrap the power cord around the main body of the blender during or after use.
