IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury, including the following: 1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. 2. Switch off and unplug before fitting or removing tools and/or attachments, after use and before cleaning. 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. Avoid contact with moving parts and fitted attachments. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils, away from beaters during operation to reduce the risk of injury to persons and/or damage to the mixer. 5. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock or injury. 6. Do not use more than one attachment at a time. 7. Do not exceed the maximum capacities listed in this use and care instruction book. 8. Do not use the stand mixer if it is damaged or if the cord is damaged. Have the stand mixer checked and serviced before resuming use. 9. When using an attachment make sure that you have read the safety instructions that come with the particular attachment. 10. Do not use outdoors. 11. Keep stainless steel bowl away from heat sources such as stovetops, ovens or microwaves. 12. To protect against the risk of electric shock do not put the power unit in water or other liquid. 13. Remove all attachments and accessories from stand mixer before washing. 14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY NOTE: The maximum rating is based on the attachment that draws the greatest power. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power. WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated dangerous voltage within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. 2
