- Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

- Remove beaters from the mixer before washing.
- 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 Customer Service (see Warranty) for examination, repair, mechanical or electrical adjustment.
- The use of attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
- Do not use outdoors or anywhere the cord or mixer might come into contact with water while in use.
