CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart

®

 SmartPower Duet

®

 Blender/Food Processor from the 

electrical outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of corrosion-resistant parts that 

are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly. 

Periodically check all parts before reassembly. If any part is damaged or blender jar is 

chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER.
Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting straight up and away. Twist off 

the locking ring by turning counterclockwise. Remove the cutting assembly and 

rubber gasket. Wash in warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Place the locking 

ring in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in warm water.

CAUTION:

 Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is 

SHARP

 and may cause injury. 

Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured pour lid. Wash in warm, soapy water; 

rinse and dry thoroughly, or place in the upper rack of the dishwasher. The blender jar 

should be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly. The blender 

jar can also be placed upside down in the dishwasher.
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 liquid, or place in the 

dishwasher.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Tip: You may wish to clean your blender cutting assembly as follows: Squirt a small 

amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and fill halfway with warm 

water. Run on Stir for 15 seconds. Repeat using clean tap water. Empty blender jar 

and carefully disassemble parts. Wash cutting assembly, gasket and locking ring in 

warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
