IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. To protect against electric shock, do not put the body of this EvolutionXTM Cordless Rechargeable Compact Blender in water or other liquids while unit is charging. Other than the blending/ mixing blade, never submerge any other portion of this unit in liquids. If the compact blender base falls into liquid, remove immediately. Carefully remove, clean and dry unit thoroughly before continuing.

3. This appliance should not be used by children. To avoid possible accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.

4. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

5. To avoid the possibility of personal injury, always unplug the unit from the USB cable and USB power adapter before attaching or removing blades and/or attachments for cleaning or any other purpose.

6. Illuminated lights indicate unit is ready to operate.

7. Once blender is unlocked and/or powered on, avoid any contact with blades or movable parts.

8. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from attachments and mixing container during operation to reduce risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to the appliance. A spatula may be used, but must be used only when the unit is not operating.

9. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.
   To reduce the risk of injury, never place blending blade on base unless the blender jar is properly attached. Never leave your blender unattended while it is running. Twist removable blade assembly firmly onto travel cup. Injury can result if moving blade accidentally becomes exposed.

10. When mixing liquids, use a tall container or mix small quantities at a time to reduce spillage and possibility of injury.

11. USB power adapter and USB cable should be plugged into an electrical outlet away from sink or hot surface.

12. Do not use an extension cord. Plug USB power adapter directly into an electrical outlet.

13. Do not attempt to use this USB power adapter and USB cable with any other product. Also, do not attempt to charge the batteries with any other USB power adapter.

14. Do not charge batteries with charger plugged into an outdoor outlet.

15. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in any way, or is not operating properly. Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair, or mechanical or electrical adjustment.

16. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock or risk of injury.

17. Make sure the appliance is off and the motor/blade attachment has stopped completely before putting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning.

18. This appliance is intended for household use only and is not for commercial or outdoor use.

19. Do not use this blender for other than its intended use of preparing foods and beverages.

20. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any heating appliance beneath or near the mounted charging handle unit.

21. Do not mount or store unit over or near a portion of a heating or cooking appliance, or a sink or washbasin.

22. Unplug the USB power adapter from the outlet before attempting any routine cleaning of the charger.

23. Do not operate with a damaged USB power adapter. Have damaged USB power adapter replaced immediately.

24. Do not incinerate the blender, even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.

25. This product contains lithium batteries which must be recycled at the end of the life of the blender and disposed of properly. Do not incinerate or compost batteries, as they will explode at high temperatures.

26. Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the liquid gets on the skin, (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize with mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.

27. Recharge only with the USB power adapter specified by the manufacturer. A USB power adapter that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack. The USB charger must be listed Class 2 power supply or certified ITE power supply, rated output 5V 2A MAX. Do not use unapproved sources.

28. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

29. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid contact with such liquid. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

30. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.

31. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive heat. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 265°F/130°C may cause an explosion.

32. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.

33. Recommended ambient charging temperature: 50°F-104°F (10°C-40°C).

34. Recommended storage temperature: 50°F-104°F (10°C-40°C).

35. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

36. 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.

• When 1st light is solid and 2nd light is flashing, battery capacity is 40% ­ 70%.
• When 1st and 2nd lights are solid and 3rd light is flashing, battery capacity is 70% ­ 95%.
• When Battery Life Indicator/LED Light Bar displays 3 solid blue power lights, battery capacity is 95%.
  (NOTE: A 95% charge for a lithium ion battery is considered a full charge.)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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 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. The blades are SHARP and may cause injury. DO NOT attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.

Wash all parts in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. All parts are top rack dishwasher safe.
Tip: You may wish to clean your blade assembly as follows: Squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into travel cup and fill halfway with warm water. Attach blending blade assembly. Run for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Carefully disassemble parts and empty 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.

TIPS AND HINTS

• When using your blending cup, ingredients are put in the following order: Always put the hardest ingredients into the travel cup first (ice cubes, frozen fruit), and finish with the softer ingredients and liquids.
• It is recommended that most foods be cut into ½-inch to 1-inch (1.25 cm to 2.5 cm) pieces to achieve the most uniform result.
• If food sticks to the sides of the cup when blending, stop the blender, carefully scrape down the food, replace blade assembly and blend again to combine.
• When blending thicker mixtures, lightly hold down the top of travel cup to prevent jumping.
• After blending, flip the travel cup over so that the blade assembly is on the top. Gently tap the travel cup a few times to prevent any spillage. Remove the blade assembly and replace with lid.
• Some recipes may require more than a minute of blending. Simply start blender again, once the minute of continuous blending has elapsed.
