precautions should always be taken to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to
persons, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Always unplug from outlet when either
the appliance or display clock is not in
use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts and

place cord, plug, or base unit in water or
other liquids.
5. This appliance should not be used by
or near children or individuals with certain
disabilities.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to
the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for
examination, repair, and electrical or

25. 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.
