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
SmartPower Duet
®
appliance in water or other liquid.
3. 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. Children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before
assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug
and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
WARNING:
Never put hands into the blender jar/food processor work bowl 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. Contact the manufacturer
at their customer service telephone number for information on examination, repair,
or adjustment
7. The use of attachments, other than those recommended by Cuisinart, 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, which
could damage the cord.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar/food processor work bowl during use, 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 motor base 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 VERY SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Store out of reach of
children.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopping blade/cutting assembly on base
unless the blender jar or food processor work bowl is properly attached.
14. Always operate blender or food processor with the cover in place.
15. Never leave your blender or food processor unattended while running.
16. When blending HOT liquids in blender jar, 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.
19. Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has been provided so that you will have
flexibility in positioning your Cuisinart ® SmartPower Duet ® Blender/Food Processor
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.
20. Be certain the food processor cover is securely locked in place before operating
appliance. Never operate without the cover locked securely in place.
21. Do not attempt to defeat the food processor cover interlock mechanism.
22. Never feed food into processor by hand. Always use the food pusher.
23. Make sure the blade or disc has come to a full stop before
removing cover.
24. This food processor attachment is to be used only with Cuisinart
®
BFP-703 series
blenders. Do not use with any other manufacturer’s blender base. This appliance
is intended for household use only.
25. Wash the blender jar, food processor work bowl, food processor chopping blade,
locking ring, and covers before first use.
26. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE, DO
NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE
INSIDE. REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
27 . 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.
NOTICE: Do not fill the bowl above the marked maximum fill line (or rated capacity)
to avoid risk of injury due to damage to the cover or bowl.
