Important SaFEGUarDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, 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. To unplug, grasp plug
and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the motor body,
cord or electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other
liquids. Only the detachable blending shaft of this appliance and
the whisk have been designed for immersion into water or other
liquids. Never submerge any other portion of this unit. If motor
housing falls into liquid, remove immediately. Do not reach into
the liquid without unplugging the unit first.
4. This appliance should not be used by children. To avoid possible
accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. During operation keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas
and other utensils away from attachments and any mixing
container to reduce risk of injury to persons and/or damage
to the appliance. A spatula may be used, but must be used only
when the unit is not operating.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped
or damaged in any way or is not operating properly. Return the
appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination,
repair, or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
8. Remove detachable blending shaft from the blender before
washing the blades or shaft.
9. Blades are SHARP. Handle carefully when removing, inserting
or cleaning.
10. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container
or mix small quantities in separate batches to reduce spillage,
splattering and possibility of injury from burning.
11. Check prep bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.
12. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
13. Do not use outdoors or for other than intended use.
14. Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.
15. Make sure the appliance is off, the motor has stopped complete-
ly, and the appliance is unplugged from outlet before putting on
or taking off attachments, and before cleaning.
