IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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 is not intended for use by children or by persons with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

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 Center 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.

2

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.

15. Maximum rating is based on the 200W that draws the

greatest power.

16. 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.
