IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put motor
base of blender in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking
off parts, and before cleaning or removing contents from
blender jar. Never put hands into the blender jar or
container, or handle the blades with appliance plugged in.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to nearest Cuisinart service
facility for examination, repair, and/or mechanical or electrical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning or ordinary jars, not
recommended or sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical
shock, or risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of counter or table or touch hot
surfaces.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending, to
reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to
blender itself. A rubber or plastic spatula may be used but
must be used only when the blender is turned Off.
11. When blender is in On mode, and LED lights are flashing, do
not touch cutting assembly, interfere with blade movement, or
remove blender jar cover. Accidentally touching a speed button
may activate the blender.
12. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly on
base unless the blender jar is properly attached.
14. Always operate blender with the cover in place.
15. Never leave your blender unattended while it is running.
16. When blending HOT liquids, remove measured pour lid (center
piece of cover) to allow steam to escape.
17. Twist on locking ring firmly. Injury can result if moving blades
accidentally become exposed.
18. Do not use an extension cord with this unit. Doing so may
result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.
Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has been provided so
that you will have flexibility in positioning your Cuisinart

near an electrical outlet. Exercise care when using the longer
cord, to avoid entangling or tripping over the cord. The longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over. Excess cord should be stored in the cord storage
area at the back of the blender base to avoid injury caused by
the longer cord.
19. Wash the blender jar, cutting assembly, locking ring, and cover
before first use.

OR FIRE, DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. REPAIR SHOULD BE

OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES
22. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recom
mended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to
persons.

while processing food to reduce the risk of severe injury to per
sons or damage to the food processor. A scraper may be used
but must be used only when the food processor is not running.
24. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade or discs
on base without first putting bowl properly in place
