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 liquids.
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
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 on, do not touch cutting
assembly, interfere with blade movement,
or remove blender jar cover.
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 removable blade assembly firmly to
blender jar. Injury can result if moving blades
accidentally become exposed.
17.
Regarding your cord set:
A longer cord has
been provided so that you will have flexibility in
positioning your Cuisinart VELOCITY 600-Watt
Blender. 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 table-
top, 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.
18. Wash the blender jar, blade assembly, and
cover before first use.
19.
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.
20. When blending hot liquids in blender jar,
remove measured pour lid to allow steam
to escape.
21. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not modify the plug in any way.
This appliance comes with a resettable thermal fuse
to prevent damage to the motor in the case of extreme
overload. Should the unit shut off unexpectedly,
unplug it and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before
continuing (see “To reset the unit,” on page 6).
