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 or
glowing, 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.
Twist on locking ring firmly. Injury can result if moving blades
accidentally become exposed.
17. When blending hot liquids, remove measured lid (center piece of
cover) to allow steam to escape.
18. Do not use a extension cord with this unit. Doing so may result in fire,
electrical shock, or personal injury.
19. Wash the blender jar, cutting assembly, locking ring, and cover
before first use.
