BLENDER ASSEMBLY,
USE AND CARE
To use your Cuisinart ® SmartPower Duet ® Blender/Food Processor,
begin by assembling the blender jar.
1. Turn the blender jar (a) upside down, and place it flat on a sturdy
surface.
2. Position the rubber gasket (b) on the round opening on the bottom
of the blender jar.
3. Turn the cutting assembly (c) upside down, and place the blade end
in the blender jar opening. Note: Blades are very sharp, handle
carefully.
4. Secure the rubber gasket and cutting assembly in position by
placing the smaller opening of the locking ring (d) on top of the
cutting assembly. Engage threads by twisting the locking ring
clockwise until tightened. Make sure locking ring is tightly fastened
to blender jar. Once assembled, turn the blender jar right side up.
5. Push the cover onto the top of the blender jar. Insert the measured
pour lid into the cover, aligning the tabs in the pour lid with the slots
in the cover. Twist clockwise to lock pour lid into the cover.
6. Place the blender jar on the motor base so that the jar markings are
facing you and the handle is positioned to one side.
7. Plug in power cord. Your blender is now ready to be used.
Helpful Reminders
• Once the cover is in position, additional ingredients can be added
during blending by simply twisting the measured pour lid
counterclockwise until the tabs in the pour lid align with the slots in
the cover. Pull up the pour lid, add ingredients, and replace the pour
lid.
• Cover should always be in place while the unit is ON.
• Warning: Do not place blender jar on base while motor is running.
• Do not twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar
from base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
• Boiling liquid or solid frozen foods (with the exception of ice cubes
or ½" pieces of frozen fruit) should never be placed in the blender
jar.
• Do not place ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids in a blender jar
that has come directly from a hot dishwasher.
• Do not place very hot liquids or foods in a blender jar that has come
directly from the freezer. Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes
before being placed in blender jar.
• Follow Cleaning and Maintenance instructions on page 7 prior to
your first use.
BLENDER OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart ® SmartPower Duet ® Blender/
Food Processor on 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.
