IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. 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.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the motor body,
cord or electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other
liquids. Only the detachable blending shaft and other certain parts
of this appliance have been designed for immersion into water or
other liquids. Never submerge any other portion of this unit. If
hand blender falls into liquid, remove immediately. Do not reach
into the liquid without unplugging the unit first.
4. This appliance should not be used by children. To avoid possible
accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when used
near children.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. During operation keep hands, hair and 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. Exercise the same care when removing,
inserting the cutting blade or reversing disc for the food
processor attachment.
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. To reduce the risk of injury, never place food processor
attachment cutting blade on base without first putting prep bowl
properly in place.
12. Be certain the food processor attachment cover is securely
locked in place before operating appliance. Do not attempt to
remove cover until blade has stopped rotating.
13. Check work bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.
