PRODUCT SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions. Misuse of appliance may result in
personal injury.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put the Base
of the appliance, USB Adapter, USB Cable, or Battery in water,
or other liquid.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack
of experience and knowledge.
4. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
5. Turn the appliance off, remove the Battery when not in use,
before assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning.
6. Avoid contact with moving parts. Do not override any safety
controls.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged Battery, adapter
or plug, after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest
Authorised Service Facility for examination, repair, or electrical
or mechanical adjustment. This will ensure that the safety of
the appliance and accessories is maintained.
8. The use of attachments/accessories not recommended or sold
by KitchenAid may cause fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.
9. Keep hands and utensils away from the cutting blade while
chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to person, or
damage to the appliance. A scraper may be used, but only
when the appliance is not running.

18. Disconnect the Battery from the appliance before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

19. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting to Battery, picking up or carrying
the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the
switch or energizing appliance that have the switch ON invites
accidents.

other Battery may create a risk of injury and fire.
22. When Battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal
objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the Battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
23. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
Battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the Battery may cause irritation or burns.
24. Do not use a Battery or appliance that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
25. Do not expose a Battery or appliance to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 129°C
