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 clean-
ing or removing contents from blender jar.
Never
put hands into the blender jar or handle the
blades with the 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 electri-
cal adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or
sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, including
canning or ordinary jars, 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, and LED lights are illumi-
nated or flashing, 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 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 Ultra 1HP
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 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.
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.
WARNING:
FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES
READY TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.
21. When blending hot liquids in blender jar, remove
measured pour lid to allow steam to escape.
22. 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.
23. Do not blend carbonate beverages in the blender
jar.
