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 elec-
trical 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 appli-
ance by children.
4. Always unplug from outlet when not
in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning or remov-
ing 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 near-
est 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 sur-
faces, 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 dam-
age 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 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
®
SPB-7 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 proces-
sor 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.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
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. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
Maximum rating of 500 watts is based
on the jar attachment that draws the
greatest power. Other recommended
attachments may draw significantly
less power.
