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/food processor in water or other liquids.
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 work bowl. Never put hands into the blender jar or work
bowl, 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 or work bowl and away
from moving blades or discs while blending or processing,
to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to
unit itself. A rubber or plastic spatula may be used, but must be
used only when the unit is turned off.
11. When unit is on, and LED lights are illuminated or flashing, do
not touch cutting assembly, interfere with blade movement, or
remove blender jar or work bowl cover. Accidentally touching a
speed button may activate the unit.
12. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopping blade/cutting
assembly on base unless the blender jar or food processor work
bowl is properly attached.
14. Always operate blender or food processor with the cover in place.
15. When blending HOT liquids in blender jar, remove measured
pour lid (center piece of cover) to allow steam to escape.
16. Never leave your appliance unattended while it is running.
17. Twist locking ring firmly on blender. Injury can result if moving
blades accidentally become exposed.
18. Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has been provided
so that you will have flexibility in positioning your Cuisinart ®
SmartPower Duet ® Deluxe 600-Watt Blender/Food Processor.
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 unit’s base to
avoid injury caused by the longer cord.
19. Wash the blender jar, work bowl, feed tube, cutting and blade
assemblies, locking ring, covers and disc 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.
22. Never feed food by hand. Always use food pusher.
23. Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.
24. Be certain the food processor cover is securely locked in place
before operating appliance. Never operate without the cover
locked securely in place.
25. Never place fingers or other utensils into feed or discharge areas
for ice crushing.
