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 SmartPower Duet® appliance 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.Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or removing contents from blender jar or food processor work bowl.

WARNING: Never put hands into the blender jar or food processor 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 other than those recommended by Cuisinart, 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, which could damage the cord.

10.Keep hands and utensils out of jar/food processor work bowl during use 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 motor base is in ON mode, and LED lights are flashing, 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 VERY SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY. Store out of reach of children.

13.To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopping blade/cutting assembly on base without the blender jar or food processor work bowl properly attached.

14.Always operate blender or food processor with the cover in place.

15.Never leave your blender or food processor unattended while running.

16.When blending HOT liquids in blender jar, 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.

19.Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has been provided so that you will have flexibility in positioning your Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor near an electrical outlet. 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 blender base to avoid injury caused by the longer cord.

20.Be certain the food processor cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance. Never operate without the cover locked securely in place.

21. Do not attempt to defeat the food processor cover interlock mechanism.

22.Never feed food into processor by hand. Always use the food pusher.

23.Make sure the blade or disc has come to a full stop before removing cover.

24.This food processor attachment is to be used only with Cuisinart® SPB-7 or FPB-5 series blenders. Do not use with any other manufacturer's blender base.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

25.Wash the blender jar, food processor work bowl, food processor chopping blade, locking ring, and covers before first use.

26.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.

27.WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES READY TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.

NOTICE:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
