OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1. When placing the container on the unit
base, make sure that the unit is turned off
and is at a complete stop. Do not put the
container on or take it off while the unit is
running. Doing so may damage the drive
shaft or blade assembly. For best results,
do not fill container above the 3-cup level.
2. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position
and plug the blender into a convenient
outlet.
3. The Cuisinart
®
Blender is ideal for
blending ice drinks. A hint when mixing
ice drinks: Keep the blades in the
container covered with liquid, turn the unit
on, remove the lid insert on top of the jar
lid, and feed the ice cubes slowly into the
jar.
NOTE:
Never use containers other
than Cuisinart
®
Blender containers with
your Cuisinart unit.
4.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use carbonated
liquids in the blender jar or any blending
container. Using carbonated liquids in the
blender jar or any blending container may
result in injury.
5. Put ingredients into container, then put
on cover. Always add liquid ingredients
first, unless otherwise specified in recipe.
Always hold container with one hand
while blending.
6.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to your
blender, do not run the blender if the
blades become blocked or jammed during
use. Turn the blender off immediately,
remove the container from the blender
base and dislodge the material that is
blocking or jamming the blade.
HOW TO CLEAN
CONTAINERS
1. Remove the container from the unit base.
Remove the lid. Add a cup of cleaning
solution, made by adding a few drops of
dishwashing detergent to 1 cup of cool
water, to the container. Scrub and flush
out the interior of the container and the lid
to dislodge and remove as much residue
as possible. Empty the container.
2. Add more cleaning solution. Put lid on
container, place container on unit base,
and run on high speed for two minutes.
3. Empty the container and repeat as
above, using clean rinse water in place of
cleaning solution. Empty, rinse and dry,
prior to storing unit.
4. Wash and rinse container prior to initial
use, and immediately after each use.
HOW TO CLEAN
UNIT BASE
To clean the unit base, unplug the power cord.
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth
or sponge dampened with cleaning solution.
Rinse with clean water. Do not immerse the
base in cleaning solution or water. Wipe the
base with a dry towel. Any other servicing
should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
RESETTING THERMAL
PROTECTION
• Your blender is equipped with a
manual reset switch to protect the
motor from overheating.
• If your blender stops running under
heavy use, turn toggle switch to OFF and
unplug the power cord. Empty the blender
container of all its contents and allow
approximately 5 to 10 minutes for the
motor to cool down.
• Plug the power cord back into the outlet
and continue blending.
• If your blender does not function properly
following this procedure, discontinue
use and contact a certified Cuisinart
Consumer Service Center.
