IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2.
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.
3. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put motor base
of blender in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
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.
20.
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.
21.
WARNING:
FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES READY TO OPERATE.
DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.
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.
