15. Do not leave blender unattended while it is running. 16. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS For your protection, Cuisinart® Blenders are equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure 1. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure 2, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. Referring to Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate. CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded. Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada. This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be used with a converter. IMPORTANT: HOT BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS To minimize the possibility of scalding when blending hot ingredients, the following precautions and procedures must be observed: 1. Limit amount of material processed to one cup (8 oz.). 2. Completely remove the lid insert of the two- piece container lid before starting motor. (This will allow venting of the rapidly heated and expanding air present inside container when blender is running.) 3. Start blending on low speed. 4. While blender is running, up to 1½ cups (12 oz.) of additional liquid can be added. Pour liquid slowly through the opening in the lid. 3
