Pulse Mode:
The pulse mode allows you to create a burst of power
for quick, efficient blending. To use the pulse function, choose a
speed for blending your ingredients. Push and release the PULSE
button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of each
pulse. While you are 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.

To crush ice:
The Cuisinart
®
SmartPower Classic
™
Blender motor
is strong enough to crush ice without liquid at any speed; however,
for your convenience, we have preset the best speed for ice crush-
ing. To give you greater control, the ice crush function automatically
operates as a pulse function. To crush ice, place ice cubes in the
blender jar, and place the cover and the measured pour lid on the
blender jar. Press the ICE CRUSH button. Press the ICE CRUSH
button in short pulses until ice is crushed to desired consistency.
See the Recipe Tips section on page 8 for more details.

continue blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula is not inside the
blender jar before blending.
