ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Cuisinart
®
Core Essentials
™
36 oz. Blender Jar for the first time, wash the
blender jar, removable cover with integrated
measuring cup, and blade assembly (see
cleaning instructions at right).
1. Place the Food Processor
housing base on a dry, level
countertop with the controls
facing you. Do not plug the unit
in until it is fully assembled.
2. Place the blender jar on the
Food Processor housing base,
use the handle to turn the
blender jar clockwise to lock it
onto the base.
BLENDER OPERATION
1. With the blender jar locked into place on the
Food Processor housing base, plug the base
into an electrical outlet.
2. Remove the blender jar cover and add food
ingredients, beginning with liquid and soft
items and finishing with harder items like ice
and frozen fruit. Replace the cover. You may
add more ingredients by lifting the integrated
measuring cup and dropping ingredients
through the fill area. Replace the integrated
measuring cup after adding ingredients. Do
not put hands into blender jar at any time.
Note:
To remove blender jar cover,
turn it counterclockwise then lift upward.
Do not use integrated measuring cup to

3. For continuous blending, press the High or
Low speed paddle. It is possible to switch
between High and Low speeds by simply
pressing the High or Low speed paddle.
4. To pause the blending process, press the
Pulse/Off paddle. The blending process will
stop. To restart blending, press the desired
speed paddle — High or Low.

can be used to break apart larger pieces of
food. The Pulse function is also effective for

ing items that do not require an extended
amount of blending. The paddle will
automatically return to the up position upon
release and blending will stop.
