IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety
precautions should always be adhered to, including
the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do
not put motor base in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
4. Always unplug unit from outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, before
cleaning, and before removing food from bowl.
To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical
outlet. Never pull cord.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug after the appliance malfunctions,
or if appliance has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Return the appliance to the
nearest authorized Customer Service Center
(see Warranty for details) for examination,
repair, and electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or
sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock
or injury.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Keep hands and utensils away from moving
blade while processing, to prevent the risk of
severe injury to persons, or damage to the
chopper/grinder. A scraper may be used, but
must only be used when the chopper/grinder is
not running.

removing, inserting or cleaning. Always allow
