PRODUCT SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in fire and/or serious injury.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put the Motor Body of the appliance, USB Adapter, USB Cable, or Battery in water or other liquid.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or 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. Remove the Battery before assembling or disassembling and before cleaning. To unplug the adapter, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the Battery.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged Battery or USB Adapter, or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
8. The use of accessories/attachments not recommended or sold by KitchenAid may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
10. Do not let the cord contact hot surfaces, including the stove.
11. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. A scraper may be used, but it must be used only when the unit is not running.
12. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.
13. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, never place the Chopper Blade on base without first putting the Chopper Bowl properly in place.
15. Be certain the cover is securely locked in place before operating the appliance.
16. Do not use an extension cord. Plug the adapter directly into a power source.
17. Use only with the adapter provided with the appliance. Do not attempt to use this adapter with any other product. Likewise, do not attempt to charge this appliance with any other adapter.
18. Do not incinerate this appliance even if it is severely damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
19. Keep hands and utensils away from the Chopper Blade while chopping food to reduce the risk of severe injury to a person or damage to the appliance. A scraper may be used, but only when the appliance is not running.
20. Allow the appliance to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
21. Refer to the “Care and Cleaning” section for instructions on cleaning the surfaces in contact with food.
22. Disconnect the Battery from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
23. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the Battery, picking up, or carrying the appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger on the switch or energizing an appliance with the switch on invites accidents.
24. Recharge only with the adapter specified by KitchenAid. The adapter that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
25. Use appliances only with the KitchenAid 12 VDC Battery. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of injury and fire.
26. When Battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, which can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the Battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the Battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes, additionally, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the Battery may cause irritation or burns.
28. Do not use a Battery or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior, resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
29. Do not expose a Battery or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F may cause an explosion.
30. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the Battery or appliance outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the Battery and increase the risk of fire.
31. Use only UL UL-listed ITE/Class 2 USB source to charge this device. Use of any non-UL-listed USB sources may create a risk of fire.
32. Never service damaged batteries. Service of batteries should only be performed by KitchenAid or authorized service providers.
33. Do not use the appliance in the rain or wet conditions. Do not be exposed to rain. Store indoors.
