IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, especially when
children are present, basic safety precautions
should always be taken including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2.
Blades and discs are sharp.
Handle them
carefully.
3. Do not use outdoors.
4. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces, including
the stove.
5. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Contact the manufacturer at
their customer service telephone number
for information on examination, repair, or
adjustment
6. This appliance is not intended for use by children
or by persons with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used near children. Chil-
dren should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance
7.
Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from
the outlet when not in use, before assem-
bling or disassembling parts and before
cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull
from the outlet. Never pull the power cord.
8. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not
put base in water or other liquids.
9. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing
in an appliance garage always unplug the unit
from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could
create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance
touches the walls of the garage or the door
touches the unit as it closes
10. Keep hands and utensils away from moving
blades or discs while processing, blending,
or juicing to reduce the risk of severe injury to
persons or damage to the machine or parts.
A scraper may be used only when the
appliance is not running.
11. Avoid coming into contact with moving parts.
Never push food down into food processor or
juice extractor by hand. Always use pusher.
12. Make sure motor has completely stopped
before removing the lids. (If machine does not
stop within four seconds after turning off, call
1 800-472-7606 for assistance. Do not use
the machine.)
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never store food
processor blade or discs on motor shaft. Blade
and discs should be on shaft only when the
bowl is properly locked in place and processor
is in use. Food processor blade and discs, and
juice extractor mesh filter basket/blade are very
sharp and should always be stored out of reach
of children.
14. Be sure covers of food processor and juice
extractor are securely locked into place, and
blender lid is on tight before operating the
Kitchen Central.
15. Never try to defeat, override or tamper with
cover interlock mechanisms.
16. Do not operate this, or any other motor-driven
appliance, while under the influence of alcohol
or other substances that affect your reaction
time or perception.
17. The Kitchen Central is cULus listed for
household use. Use only for food preparation
as described in the accompanying Instruction
and Recipe Book.
18. The use of attachments, including canning jars,
not recommended or sold by Cuisinart
®
may
cause fire, electric shock or personal injury, or
damage to your appliance.
19. To avoid possible malfunction of the appli-
ance’s switch, never store food processor or
juice extractor attachment assembly with cover
on in locked position.
20. Do not fill the bowl above the marked maxi-
mum fill line (or rated capacity) to avoid risk of
injury due to damage to the cover or bowl.
21. When the blender is on, do not touch cutting
assembly, interfere with blade movement, or
remove blender jar cover.
22. To reduce the risk of injury when using the
blender, never place removable blade as-
sembly on base without the jar being properly
attached. To attach blade to jar, twist to secure
it firmly in place. Injury can result if moving
blades accidentally become exposed.
23. Always operate the blender with the cover
in place.
24. Never leave your blender unattended while it
is running.
