2. To protect against electric shock, do not put the body of this EvolutionX™ Cordless Rechargeable Compact Blender in wate 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.

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 (10.0VDC/1000mA output) that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
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).

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 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.

WARRANTY

Limited Three-Year Warranty

This warranty is available to U.S. consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® EvolutionX™ Cordless Rechargeable Compact Blender that was purchased at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your Cuisinart® EvolutionX™ Cordless Rechargeable Compact Blender will be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date of original purchase. We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration.

However, product registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.

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, according to its preference, 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 neither of the above two options results 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 800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.

Your Cuisinart® EvolutionX™ Cordless Rechargeable Compact Blender has been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has been designed for use only in 120-volt outlets and only with authorized accessories and replacement parts.

This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other than ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so these exclusions may not apply to you. You may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.

Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s Authorized Service Center, please remind the servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct parts, and to ensure that the product is still under warranty.
