IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

1.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2.To protect against electric shock, do not put the body of this EvolutionX™ Cordless Rechargeable Mini Chopper in water or other liquids while unit is charging. Other than the blade,

bowl and cover, never submerge any other portion of this unit in liquids. If the mini chopper base falls into liquid, remove immediately. Carefully remove, clean and dry unit thoroughly before continuing.

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. 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.

4.Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

5.To avoid the possibility of personal injury, always unplug the unit from the USB cable and USB power adapter before

attaching or removing blades and/or attachments for cleaning or any other purpose.

6.Illuminated lights indicate unit is ready to operate.

7.Once chopper is unlocked and/or powered on, avoid any contact with blades or movable parts.

8.Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands and utensils away from moving blade while processing, to prevent the risk of severe injury to persons, or damage to the chopper/grinder. A scraper

may be used, but must only be used when the chopper/grinder is not running.

9.BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.

Blade is extremely sharp. Handle carefully when removing, inserting or cleaning. Always allow blade to stop moving before removing cover.

10.USB power adapter and USB cable should be plugged into an electrical outlet away from sink or hot surface.

11.Do not use an extension cord. Plug USB power adapter directly into an electrical outlet.

12.Do not attempt to use this USB power adapter and USB cable with any other product. Also, do not attempt to charge the batteries with any other USB power adapter.

13.Do not charge batteries with charger plugged into an outdoor outlet.

14.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer at their customer service telephone number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

15.The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock or risk of injury.

16.Make sure the appliance is off and the motor/blade attachment has stopped completely before putting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning.

17.This appliance is intended for household use only and is not for commercial or outdoor use.

18.Do not use this chopper for other than its intended use of preparing foods and beverages.

19.Do not mount or store unit over or near a portion of a heating or cooking appliance, or a sink or washbasin.

20.Unplug the USB power adapter from the outlet before attempting any routine cleaning of the charger.

21.Do not operate with a damaged USB power adapter. Have damaged USB power adapter replaced immediately.

22.Do not incinerate the chopper, even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.

23.This product contains lithium batteries which must be

recycled at the end of the life of the mini chopper and disposed of properly. Do not incinerate or compost batteries, as they will explode at high temperatures.

24.Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions.

If the liquid gets on the skin, (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize with mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into eyes, flush them immediately

with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.

25.Recharge only with the USB power adapter specified by the manufacturer. A USB power adapter (5.0VDC/2000mA output) that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

26.Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury

and fire.

27.Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with such liquid. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

or burns.

28.Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

29.Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive heat. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F/130°C may cause an explosion.

30.Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

31.Recommended ambient charging temperature: 50°F−104°F (10°C−40°C).

32.Recommended storage temperature: 50°F−104°F (10°C−40°C).

33.Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

34.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.

35.Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the adapter and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

36.To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base without first putting bowl properly in place.

37.Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.

38.Do not attempt to defeat the cover interlock mechanism.

39.Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the offposition before connecting to battery pack, 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.

CHARGING YOUR MINI CHOPPER/ BATTERY LIFE

The batteries in your EvolutionX™ Cordless Rechargeable Mini Chopper have not been fully charged. Before the first use of this appliance,

HOW TO READ

THE BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

•When 1st light is flashing and others are off, battery capacity < 40%.

•When 1st light is solid and 2nd light is flashing, battery capacity is 40% – 70%.

•When 1st and 2nd lights are solid and 3rd light is flashing, battery capacity is 70% – 95%.

•When Battery Life Indicator/LED Light Bar displays 3 solid blue power lights, battery capacity is 95%. (NOTE: A 95% charge for a lithium ion battery is considered a full charge.)

Your Cordless Rechargeable Mini Chopper is equipped with a quickcharge feature. If your mini chopper runs out of power, you can “quick charge” your unit:

•Charge for 15 minutes to get 25 seconds of runtime.

•Charge for 30 minutes to get 1 minute and 45 seconds of runtime.

•Charge for 60 minutes to get 5 minutes and 45 seconds of runtime.

NOTE:

1.Do not leave your mini chopper uncharged for an extended period of time, as it will affect the life of the rechargeable battery.
