which you would like to blend the ingredients. Both the On indicator light

and the activated speed indicator light will glow. The blender will now be

functioning at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without

pressing the OFF button, by simply pushing the other speed button.

5. TO PAUSE OR STOP BLENDING PROCESS

a. To Pause Blending Process: Push the button corresponding to

the speed at which you are currently blending. For example: If you

are blending on HIGH speed, push the HIGH speed button and the

blender will stop blending, but the unit will remain on.

b. To Stop Blending Process: Push the OFF button when you are

finished with your recipe and would like to turn the blender off.

6. PULSE MODE: The pulse mode allows you to create a burst of power

for quick, efficient blending. To use the pulse function, push the ON

button and the red LED indicator light will illuminate. Push the PULSE

button, and the pulse LED indicator light will blink. Push and release the

desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of

each pulse. While pulsing, the LED indicator light will glow. The pulse

function can be used to break apart larger pieces of food or to control

the texture of food when chopping. The pulse function is also effective

in starting the blending process when you do not want continuous power,

or when processing items that do not require an extended amount

of blending.

7. To dislodge food: Use a rubber or plastic spatula to help remove food

lodged around the cutting assembly. Do not use spatula until you have

turned the blender off. Replace the cover and measured pour lid and

continue blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula is not inside the

blender jar before blending.

8. Using dispenser tap: Place cup or pitcher under the dispenser spout.

Turn blender on and then press LOW – pull down the dispenser tap and

stir contents with blending stick as ingredients are dispensing. If there is

difficulty with dispensing, try dispensing on HIGH.

Note: It is highly recommended NOT to dispense hot ingredients through

the dispenser tap.

9. WHEN FINISHED BLENDING: Press the OFF button and unplug the

blender from the electrical outlet. Never remove the blender jar from the

motor base until the blender is off. Do not twist locking ring from blender

jar when removing jar from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor

base. Do not place hands into blender jar with blender plugged in.

OPERATION

1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart

a flat, sturdy surface. It is important that the surface be clean and dry.

Assemble the blender by following the assembly instructions. Once the

jar is assembled and is in position on the motor base, plug the Cuisinart

Smooth Operator

Blender into an electrical outlet.

2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar, and replace the cover.

You may use the blending stick or measured pour lid when blending. The

blending stick helps to keep frozen ingredients moving without having to

remove the lid. You may add more ingredients by lifting the measured

pour lid or blending stick and dropping ingredients through the fill area.

Replace the measured pour lid or blending stick after adding ingredients.

Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with solid ingredients. This

will provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary stress on

the motor.
