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. This appliance should not be used by or near children or individuals
with certain disabilities.
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/food processor work
bowl 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 Customer Service Center (see
Warranty for details) 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 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 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 unless the blender jar or food processor work
bowl is 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
®
BFP-703 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.
