IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling
or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug,
grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from
the power cord.
3. To protect against electric 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, unplug unit and remove immediately.
Do not reach into the liquid without unplugging the unit first.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used near children. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
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 malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Contact the manufacturer at their customer service
telephone number for information on examination, repair, or
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. Exercise the same care when removing, or
inserting the blade for the chopper/grinder attachment.
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. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopper/grinder attach-
ment cutting blade on base without first putting work bowl prop-
erly in place.
13. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock, or risk of injury.
