DON’T: 
•  Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
•  When using blender, don’t place cutting assembly and locking 
ring onto motor base without the blender jar attached. 
•  Blender or food processor will not mash potatoes, knead dough, 
or beat egg whites.
•  Don’t remove blender jar or food processor bowl while unit is 
ON. Keep the blender jar or food processor cover on while 
blending. 
•  Don’t twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender 
jar from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
•  Don’t overprocess foods. Blender or food processor will achieve 
most desired results in seconds, not minutes.
•  Don’t overload blender or food processor. If the motor stalls, turn 
OFF immediately, unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the 
food; then continue. 
•  Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar or food processor 
bowl while the motor is ON.
•  Don’t use any container or accessories not recommended by 
Cuisinart. Doing so may result in injury.
•  Don’t place hands inside the blender jar or food processor bowl 
when blender is plugged in. 
•  Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or ½" 
pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should 
cool for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.
•  The food processor accessory is not intended to crush ice. This 
could damage the chopping blade and will damage work bowl.
