• Do not place ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids into a blender jar
which has come directly from a hot dishwasher.

OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart
®
Premium 2 in 1 Blender on 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
®
Premium 2 in 1 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.
Do not place hands into
blender jar with blender plugged in.
NOTE:
Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with solid ingredients. This
will provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary stress on
the motor.
NOTE:
To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upwards. Lifting
measured pour lid will not remove cover.

START BLENDING:
Press the ON button. The red LED indicator light
will illuminate, indicating that the blender is turned on but no speed has
been selected.
4.
CHOOSE BLENDING SPEED:
Press HIGH or
LOW button to determine the speed at 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 pos-
sible 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.

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
