IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
taken, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning or removing contents from blender container.
Never put hands into the blender container, or handle the blades with
appliance plugged in.
3. To protect against electrical hazards, and permanent damage to unit, do not
put motor base of blender in water or other liquids.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concern-
ing use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
5. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
6. Do not use carbonated liquids in the blender container, or in any blend-
ing container. Using carbonated liquids in a blender container may result
in injury.
7. Do not pour boiling water into the blender container.
8. Avoid coming into contact with moving parts.
9. Do not operate this blender or any other appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for exami-
nation, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
10. The use of attachments, including canning jars, not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause a risk of injury to persons.
11. Do not use outdoors.
12. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
13. Keep hands and utensils out of container while blending to prevent the
possibility of severe personal injury and/or damage to the blender.
A plastic scraper may be used, but must be used only when the blender
is not running.
14. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
15. Always operate blender with lid in place.
16. See Cleaning and Maintenance instructions. Not for water-jet cleaning.
17. Always operate blender with jar pad properly in place.
18. Do not fill above MAX FILL LINE for blending.
19. If the container overflows during blending, there is too much liquid/ingre-
dients in the container. Stop blending, remove enough liquid/ingredients to
below MAX FILL LINE, and continue blending. Do not operate if overflowing.
20. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage. When storing in
an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from 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.
21. Do not leave the Cuisinart
22. The use of ear protection is recommended during extended operating peri-
ods.

operating. If unable to engage, remove container and shake contents, then
try again.

25. Replace jar pad if worn.
26. When the power is on and the On/Off button is flashing, do not touch jar
pad, interfere with blade movement, or remove jar pad. Accidentally touching
a speed button may activate the blender.
