Cuisinart BFP-603 manual Operation, To pause or stop blending process To pause blending process

OPERATION

1.Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Deluxe 600-Watt Blender/Food Processor 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 unit into an electrical outlet.

2.Put all necessary ingredients into 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 put hands into blender jar with blender plugged in.

Note: For best blending results, 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 upward. Lifting measured pour lid will not remove cover.

3.Start blending: Press the On/Off button. The red LED indicator light will illuminate and flash, 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 lights will glow. The blender will now be functioning at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing the On/Off button simply by selecting another speed.

WARNING: FLASHING RED LIGHT INDICATES READY TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.

5.To reset the unit: This appliance features an advanced resettable thermal fuse. In the event of an overload condition, the unit will shut down to protect the motor from overheating. To reset the appliance when this happens, unplug the unit and let it cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then, reduce the contents of the blender jar or work bowl and/or clear any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the operating directions.

6.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 On/Off button when you are finished with your recipe and would like to turn the blender off.

c.To prevent excessive stress to the motor:

Your blender incorporates an auto-stop feature. After running continuously for two minutes, the blender will automatically revert to Standby mode. To continue blending, press the desired function.

7.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/Off button and the red LED indicator light will illuminate and flash. Push the Pulse button and the Pulse LED indicator light will flash. Push and release the desired speed button. Repeat as needed. You determine the duration of each pulse. While pulsing, the LED indicator light will illuminate. 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.

8.To crush ice: The SmartPower Duet® Deluxe 600-Watt Blender/ Food Processor motor is strong enough to crush ice without liquid at any speed; however, for your convenience, we have preset the best speed for ice crushing. To crush ice, place ice cubes in the blender jar. Press the On/Off button. The On indicator light will illuminate and flash. Press the Ice Crush button until ice is crushed to desired consistency. Ice Crush can also be used in Pulse mode. See Quick Reference Guide on page 2 of the recipe booklet for more details.

9.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.
