DOs and DON’Ts WHEN USING

YOUR BLENDER

Do:

•Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that stated on the bottom of the blender motor base.

•Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry surface.

•Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar first, then add remaining ingredients. This will ensure that ingredients are uniformly mixed.

•Cut most foods into approximately 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) to

1 inch (2.5 cm) cubes to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no larger than 1/2 inch (1.3 cm).

•Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after ingredients have been added.

•Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only when the blender is turned off. Never use metal utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar or cutting assembly.

•Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on.

•Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.

•Always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and rubber gasket before cleaning.

•When scraping the blender jar with a spatula, remove the food from the sides of the blender jar and place food in the center of the blender jar, over the cutting assembly.

•When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc, make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are completely dry.

•If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.

•Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotating between pulses.

Don’t:

•Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.

•Don’t place cutting assembly and locking ring onto motor base without the blender jar attached.

•Don’t attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat egg whites.

•Don’t remove blender jar while unit is on. Keep the blender jar cover on the blender jar while blending.

•Don't twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.

•Don’t overprocess foods. Blender will achieve most desired results in seconds, not minutes.

•Don’t overload blender. If the motor stalls, turn the blender off immediately, unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food, then continue.

•Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar while the motor is on.

•Don’t use any container or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart. Doing so may result in injury.

•Don’t place hands inside the blender jar when blender is plugged in.

•Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods

(except ice cubes or 1/2 inch pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.
