IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your blender, you should always follow basic safety precautions,  
including the following:
•  Read all instructions before use.
•    To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the cord, plug or motor base in 
water or other liquids.
•    Always use the product on a clean, flat, hard, dry surface. There should be no 
material such as a tablecloth or plastic between the unit and surface.
•  Avoid contact with moving parts.
•    Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce the risk of:  
  – Severe personal injury.   
  – Damage to the blender.
•  If scraping is necessary, turn the power OFF and use a rubber spatula only.
•    Do not use the appliance:  
  – With a damaged cord or plug.  
  – After the unit fails to work correctly.   
  – After you drop or damage the product in any way.
Call our toll-free, automated phone line to find the Service Center nearest to you.
Return the product to your nearest Authorized Oster
® Appliance Service Center for a 
safety check, adjustment or repair.
•  The 6 Point Star Blade is sharp. Handle it carefully.
•    To reduce the risk of injury:  
  – Do not leave the multi-functional blade sitting out or exposed.   
  – Always completely assemble the blade to the jar before putting on the base.
•  Always put the lid on the jar before operating the blender.
•    When blending hot liquids beware of steam. Remove the Filler Cap from the Jar Lid 
to allow steam to escape.
•  Do not use outdoors.
•    Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of   
a table or counter.
•    Unplug the blender when it is not in use, before taking off or putting on parts,   
and before cleaning.
•  Never leave the appliance unattended while it is running.
•    You risk personal injury, fire or electric shock if you use attachments, jars   
or parts other than those recommended by Jarden Consumer Solutions.
•  Supervise children closely when they use or are nearby appliances.

parts, is not recommended by Jarden Consumer Solutions and may cause risk or 
injury to persons.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.
•    The maximum rating marked on the product is based on the attachment that draws   
the greatest load. Other attachments may draw less power.
Power Cord Instructions:
Please follow the instructions below to ensure the safe use of the power cord.
•    This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade 
that is wider than the other. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. 
This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are 
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the 
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by 
modifying the plug in any way.
•    Try to position the blender near the power source to reduce the hazards   
associated with power cords (stuck as becoming entangled or tripping over   
a long power cord).
•   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.
•   Do not use an extension cord with this product.
