IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, 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 in water or other liquid.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children. Cuisinart does not recommend the use of this
appliance by 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. Never put hands into the blender jar or

container, 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 while blending, to

reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to
blender itself. A rubber or plastic spatula may be used but

must be used only when the blender is turned OFF.

11. When blender is in ON mode, and LED lights are flashing or
glowing, do not touch cutting assembly, interfere with blade
movement, or remove blender jar cover. Accidentally touching
a speed button may activate the blender.

12. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY. STORE OUT

OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly on
base unless the blender jar is properly attached.

14. Always operate blender with the cover in place.

15. Never leave your blender unattended while it is running.

16. When blending HOT liquids, remove measured pour lid

(center piece of cover) to allow steam to escape.

17. Twist on locking ring firmly. Injury can result if moving blades
accidentally become exposed.

18. Do not use an extension cord with this unit. Doing so may
result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.

Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has been provided so

that you will have flexibility in positioning your Cuisinart
PowerBlend 600
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 blender
base to avoid injury caused by the longer cord.

19. Wash the blender jar, cutting assembly, locking ring, and
cover 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.

the plug in any way.
