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.

SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION Place blender on a flat, clean, and dry surface. Make sure a plug outlet is available within 2 feet (0.61 meters) of the blender motor base. Ensure the unit is turned off before plugging it into a separate receptacle. Blendtec blenders are produced in either 100/120V or 220/240V power. An appropriate power receptacle should be used - protection of at least 13 amps for 100/120V units and 6.5 amps for 220/240V. Make sure the electrical circuit is at least 13 amps or 6.
▶▶ If you are not using your jar daily, before each use, reach under the bottom of the jar and turn the drive shaft for a few seconds. This will help keep the seal in good shape and prolong the life of the jar. If the shaft does not spin easily, add some hot water to the jar, then twist the shaft by hand until it begins to spin freely. ▶▶ Do not place jar onto motor base while the motor is running as this causes the jar drive shaft to wear prematurely.
