HOW TO USE YOUR
BLENDER CONTROLS
Cuisinart has designed the controls of your new
variable speed blender to be extremely user
friendly. For general blending procedures, follow
the instructions below.
Continuous Blending
Turn the VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB
to the right to select speed 1 through 10. Press
the START/STOP button to start blending. When
blending is complete, press START/STOP button
to stop blending.
Pulse Blending
The PULSE feature overrides the maximum
variable speed 10 at 23,000 RPM. To use this
feature, press PULSE and release when you have
achieved your desired results. Pulse blending can
be used for crushing ice.
Before First Use
1. FOLLOW THE CLEANING AND MAINTE-
NANCE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 6 BEFORE
FIRST USE.
2. Thoroughly dry the container before placing it
on the base.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. When placing the container on the blender
base, make sure that the unit is unplugged.
Do not put the container on or take it off
while the unit is running. Doing so may
damage your blender.
2. Plug it into a convenient outlet.
The LED lights will illuminate over the
control panel when the unit has been
properly plugged in.
3. Put ingredients into the container and place
the cover on top. Do not fill over max fill
line.
NOTE: Do not use a container other than the one
provided.
4. Depending on what you are blending,
choose speed 1–10 or PULSE to blend
ingredients to desired consistency.
FOR CONTINUOUS BLENDING
Turn the VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL KNOB
clockwise to set the speed from 1 to 10 based on
the ingredients you wish to blend.
Press the START/STOP button to begin blending.
The LED lights above the START/STOP button
will begin flashing. When you have achieved the
desired results, press the START/STOP button
to stop.
FOR PULSE BLENDING
Press and hold the PULSE button until ingredi-
ents have achieved the desired results. The LED
lights above the PULSE button will flash when the
PULSE button is pressed.
Allow blades to come to a complete stop before
removing the container from the blender base.
WARNING: Never place the container on the
blender base or remove it from the blender base
while the motor is running.
HINTS & TIPS
• For puréeing soups, always start blending on
the lowest speed setting and then progress to
desired speed, unless otherwise instructed in
the recipe.
• Use the PULSE feature for foods that only
require short bursts of power, e.g., when
blending frozen fruits or ice cubes.
• Ensure all foods are cut into cubes (approx.
1 square inch) where appropriate to achieve
an even result.
• When blending multiple ingredients, place
liquid ingredients in the blender container
before solid ingredients, unless otherwise
specified in the recipe.
