1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

2. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not place cord, plug, or base unit in water or other liquids.

3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4. Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord. Always turn the appliance OFF before unplugging.

5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer at their customer service telephone number (1-800-726-0190) for information
   on examination, repair, and/or mechanical or electrical adjustment.

10. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.

11. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.

12. Be certain blade assembly is securely attached to blending cup before operating appliance. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.

13. Do not blend hot liquids in blending cup to prevent risk of thermal burn injury due to excessive pressure in the container.

    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.

17. WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES BLENDER IS READY TO OPERATE.
    DO NOT TOUCH BLADES. Accidentally touching the Blend / Pulse button may activate the blender.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart® Soho Single-Serve Blender from the electrical outlet before cleaning. The base and parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials that are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before reassembly. DO NOT USE if any part is damaged, or if the cup is chipped or cracked.
To remove blade assembly, twist off by turning counterclockwise. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF.
CAUTION: Handle the blade assembly carefully. Blades are SHARP and may cause injury. DO NOT attempt to remove blades from blade assembly.
Wash all parts in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. All parts are top rack dishwasher safe.
Silicone band is removable for thorough cleaning.
Tip: You may wish to clean your Soho™ Single-Serve Blender as follows: squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into blending cup and fill halfway with warm water. Attach blade assembly. Blend for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water.
Carefully disassemble parts and empty blender cup. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth to remove any residue, and dry thoroughly. Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquids, or place in a dishwasher.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

TROUBLESHOOTING

assembly is on the blending cup correctly. Be sure the blending cup is properly installed on the base. A light should come on and the unit should be in Standby mode.
1. Plug blender into an independent outlet.
2. Make sure blender is securely plugged in as indicated on page 4.
3. Check the outlet for power; try plugging into a different outlet.
4. Check your home’s circuit breaker.
The blender stopped running.| The motor could have overheated. The resettable fuse, which protects the motor due to overloading, may have been tripped. To reset the appliance, unplug the unit and let it cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then reduce the contents of the blender and/or clear any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the operating directions.
The rubber gasket won’t come out from
the blade assembly for cleaning.| Run under water and tap on the edge of sink upside down to loosen the gasket.
The blade assembly is hard to remove after blending.| The ingredients cause pressure, and with the airtight seal, pressure builds up creating a vacuum or a suction effect. This is normal.
Unit appears to be leaking.| 1. Check rubber gasket. Make sure it’s installed correctly in the blade assembly.
2. Make sure rubber gasket is not damaged.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible
for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary, replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
