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:
6.Pulse mode: while the blender is turned on, you can create a burst of power for quick, efficient blending, by activating the pulse 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 effective in starting the blending process when you do not want continuous power, or when processing items which do not require an extended amount of blending.
7.To crush ice: the Supreme Super 600TM Blender 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 give you greater control, the ice crush function automatically operates as a pulse function. To crush ice, place ice cubes in the blender jar, and place the cover and the measured pour lid on the blender jar. Press the “On” button. Press the “Ice Crush” button in short pulses until ice is crushed to desired consistency. See the Recipe Tips and Hints for more details.
8.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.
9.When finished blending: press the “Off” button and unplug the blender from the electrical outlet. Never remove the blender jar from the motor base until the blender is off. Do not twist locking ring from blender jar when removing jar from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base. Do not place hands into blender jar with blender plugged in.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug your Cuisinart® Supreme Super 600™ Blender from the electrical outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of corrosion- resistant parts which are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before reassembly. If any part is damaged or blender jar is chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER.
Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting straight up and away. Twist off the locking ring by turning counterclockwise. Remove the cutting assembly and rubber gasket. Wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Place the locking ring in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in warm water.
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured pour lid. Wash in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly, or place in upper rack of dishwasher. The blender jar must be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly. The blender jar can also be placed upside down in dishwasher.
Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth to remove any residue, and dry thoroughly. Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquid, or place in a dishwasher.
Tip: You may wish to clean your blender cutting assembly as follows: Squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and fill halfway with warm water. Select Mix and run for 30 seconds, or as needed. Repeat, using clean tap water. Empty blender jar and carefully disassemble parts. Wash cutting assembly, gasket and locking ring in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
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
(2.5 cm) cubes to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no larger than
•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 centre 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.
•Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotating between pulses. If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.
