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 cubes approximately 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) to
1 inch (2.5 cm) 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.
• Blender will not 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.
