IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including
the following:
1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock,
do not put motor base of blender in water or
other liquid.
3. 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
or removing contents from blender jar or container.
Never put hands into the blender jar or
container or handle the blades with appliance
plugged in.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions,
or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to nearest Cuisinart service facility for
examination, repair, and/or mechanical or
electrical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning or
ordinary jars, not recommended or sold by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk
of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of counter or
table or touch hot surfaces.
10.
Keep hands and utensils out of jar while
blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to
persons or damage to blender itself.
A rubber
or plastic spatula may be used but must be used
only when the blender is turned OFF.
11. When blender is in ON mode, and LED
lights are flashing, do not touch cutting assembly,
interfere with blade movement, or remove
blender jar cover. Accidentally touching a speed
button may activate the blender.
12. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE
CAREFULLY.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place
cutting assembly on base without the blender jar
properly attached.
14. Always operate blender with the cover in place.
15. Never leave your blender unattended while
running.
16. When blending HOT liquids, remove
measured pour lid (center piece of cover) to
allow steam to escape.
17. Screw on locking ring firmly. Injury can result
if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
18. Do not use an extension cord with this unit.
Doing so may result in fire, electrical shock, or
personal injury.
Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has been
provided so that you will have flexibility in
positioning your Cuisinart
®
SmartPower
™
Blender near an electrical outlet. Exercise care
when using the longer cord to avoid entangling or
tripping over the cord. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
or table top, where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over. Excess cord should be stored in
the cord storage area at the back of the blender
base to avoid injury caused by the longer cord.
19. Wash the blender jar, cutting assembly,
locking ring, and cover before first use.
20.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE, DO
NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO
USER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE.
REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
21.
WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT
INDICATES READY TO OPERATE. DO
NOT TOUCH BLADES.

FOR HOUSEHOLD

NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong

electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
