Once the cover is in position, additional ingredients can be added during blending by simply lifting the measured pour lid, adding ingredients, and replacing the measured pour lid.

Cover should always be in place while the unit is on.

Warning: Do not place blender jar onto base while motor is running.

Do not twist locking ring off blender jar when removing blender jar from base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.

Boiling liquid or solid frozen foods (with the exception of ice cubes or ½-inch [1.3 cm] pieces of frozen fruit) should never be placed in the blender jar.

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

Do not place very hot liquids or foods into a blender jar which has come directly from the freezer. Boiling liquids should cool for

5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.

Follow Cleaning and Maintenance instructions on page 6 prior to your first use.

OPERATION

1.Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® SmartPower ClassicBlender onto 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® SmartPower ClassicBlender into an electrical outlet.

2.Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar, and replace the cover. You may add more ingredients by lifting the measured pour lid and dropping ingredients through the fill area. Replace the measured pour lid after adding ingredients. Do not place hands into blender jar with blender plugged in. “ON” light will flash when unit is 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.
