When using an electrical appliance, especially when children are present,
basic safety precautions should always be taken, 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 electric shock, do not put the motor body, cord
or electric plug of this hand blender in water or other liquids. The
detachable blending shaft of this appliance has been designed for
immersion into water or other liquids. Never submerge any other
portion of this unit. If hand blender falls into liquid, unplug the unit
first, then remove blender 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 any appliance
is used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. During operation, keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and
other utensils away from the blending shaft 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 Centre for examination, repair, or mechanical
or electrical adjustment.
8. Remove detachable shaft from the motor body before washing the
blades or shaft.
9. Blades are SHARP. Handle carefully when removing, inserting
or cleaning the blending shaft.
10. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or mix
in small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering and
possibility of injury from burning.
11. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock, or risk of injury.
12. Do not use outdoors, or use for other than its intended use.
13. Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.
14. Make sure the appliance is off, the motor has stopped completely,
and the appliance is unplugged from outlet before putting on or
taking off the blending shaft, and before cleaning.
