When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the motor body, cord
or electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other liquid. The
detachable blending shaft of this appliance has been designed for
immersion into water or other liquids. Never submerge any other
portion of this unit. If hand blender falls into liquid, unplug the unit
first, then remove blender immediately. Do not reach into the liquid
without unplugging the unit first.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Avoid contacting 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 shaft from the blender before washing the blades
or shaft.
9. Blades are SHARP. Handle carefully when removing, inserting
or cleaning the blending shaft.
10. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or
make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering and
possibility of injury from burning.
11. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
12. Do not use outdoors, or use for other than intended use.
