BLENDER OPERATION

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

2.Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar and replace the cover. You may add additional 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.

Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with solid ingredients. This will provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary stress on the motor.

Tip: Liquid ingredients can be measured in the measured pour lid, using the measurement marking. Solid ingredients can be added by simply dropping them through the fill area into the blender jar. Replace the measured pour lid after adding ingredients.

Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upwards. Lifting measured pour lid will not remove cover.

3.TO START BLENDING: press the “On” button. The red “On” LED light will flash, indicating that the blender is turned on but no speed has been selected.

4.PRESS THE DESIRED BLENDING SPEED: both the “On” indicator light and the activated speed indicator light will glow. The blender will now be functioning at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing the “Off” button, by simply pushing the next desired speed button.

5.TO STOP THE BLENDING PROCESS: re-press the activated speed button. The blending process will stop. The red “On” indicator light will continue to flash to let you know that the blender is still “On” and can be reactivated by pushing the desired speed button. The blender can be completely deactivated and stopped from any speed by pushing the “Off” button. You will need to press the ON button again to continue blending.

6.PULSE MODE: while the blender is turned “On”, you can create a burst of power for quick, efficient blending by activating the function. To do so, first push the “Pulse” button, which will cause the “Pulse” indicator light to flash. Next, push and release the desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of each pulse. While pulsing, all indicator lights (the “On”, the “Pulse”, and the desired speed) 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
