IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning or removing contents
from blender jar. Never put hands into the blender jar or
container, or handle the blades with appliance plugged in.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put motor
base of blender in water or other liquid.
3. This appliance should not be used by or near children or
individuals with certain disabilities.
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 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 or
glowing, 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 unless the blender jar is 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
(centre piece of cover) to allow steam to escape.
17. Twist 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 tabletop, 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 BLENDER IS
READY TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.
22. CAUTION: Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing any appliance
in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet. Be sure the appliance does not touch the
interior wall of the appliance garage, and the door does not
touch the unit as it closes.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of 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.
This unit comes with a resettable thermal fuse to prevent damage to the
motor in the case of extreme overload. Simply unplug the unit, rest for
15 minutes and continue.
