OPERATION

1.Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® 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® Smooth Operator® Blender into an electrical outlet.

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.
