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.
