IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Always unplug unit 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. Allow to cool
before handling.
3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not put motor
base, power cords and plugs in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance
is used by or near children.
5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord
or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, or if
appliance has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Return the appliance to the nearest
authorized Cuisinart Service Facility for examination,
repair, and electrical or mechanical adjustment.
6. The use of attachments not recommended or sold
by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
7. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter,
or touch hot surfaces.
8. Do not plug in or take out plug when your hands
are wet.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not touch hot surfaces.
11. 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.
12. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
13. Where applicable, always attach plug to appliance and
check that the control is off before plugging cord into
wall outlet. To disconnect, turn the control to OFF, then
remove plug from wall outlet.
14. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner,
or in a heated oven.

3
15. Be especially careful when opening the cover; the
contents in the unit tank can splash out.
16. Do not move the unit while it is switched on. While being
moved, hot liquid can escape from the unit.
17. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the
mid-cycle.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If an
extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop, where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than
the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
