WARNING: FLASHING RED LIGHT INDICATES
READY TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.
Boiling liquids or solid frozen foods (with the
exception of ice cubes or ½-inch [1.3 cm] pieces of
frozen fruit) should never be put into the blender jar.
5. To reset the unit: This appliance features an
advanced resettable thermal fuse. In the event
of an overload condition, the unit will shut down
to protect the motor from overheating. To reset
the appliance when this happens, unplug the unit
and let it cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then,
reduce the contents of the blender jar and/or clear
any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the operating
directions.
Do not put ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids
into a blender jar that has come directly from a hot
dishwasher.
Do not put very hot liquids or foods into a blender
jar that has come directly from the freezer. Boiling
liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being
poured into blender jar.
6. To pause or stop blending process:
•
Follow Cleaning and Maintenance instructions on
page 6, prior to your first use.
a. To pause blending process:
Push the button corresponding to the speed at
which you are currently blending. For example:
If you are blending on High speed, push the
High speed button and the blender will stop
blending but the unit will remain on.
OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart®
SmartPower® Deluxe™ 600-Watt Blender 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 unit into an electrical outlet.
b. To stop blending process:
Push the On/Off button when you are finished
with your recipe and would like to turn the
blender off.
c. To prevent excessive stress to the motor:
Your blender incorporates an auto-stop feature.
After running continuously for two minutes, the
blender will automatically revert to Standby
mode. To continue blending, press the desired
function.
2. Put all necessary ingredients into the blender jar and
replace the cover. You may add more ingredients
by lifting the measured pour lid and dropping
ingredients through the fill area. Replace the
measured pour lid after adding ingredients. Do not
put hands into blender jar with blender plugged in.
7. Pulse mode: The Pulse mode allows you to create
a burst of power for quick, efficient blending. To
use the Pulse function, push the On/Off button and
the red LED indicator light will illuminate. Push the
Pulse button and the Pulse LED indicator light will
blink. Push and release the desired speed button.
Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of
each pulse. While pulsing, the LED indicator light 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 that do
not require an extended amount of blending.
8. To crush ice: The SmartPower® Deluxe™ 600-
Watt 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 crush ice, place ice cubes in
the blender jar. Press the On/Off button. The On
indicator light will illuminate. Press the Ice Crush
button until ice is crushed to desired consistency.
Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with
solid ingredients. This will provide more consistent
blending and prevent unnecessary stress on the
motor.
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of
cover upward. Lifting measured pour lid will not
remove cover.
3. Start blending:
Press the On/Off button. The red LED indicator light
will illuminate and
flash, indicating
that the blender is
turned on but no
speed has been
selected.
4. Choose blending speed: Press High, Low or Ice
Crush buttons to determine the speed at which
you would like to blend the ingredients. Both the
On indicator light and the activated speed indicator
lights will glow. The blender will now be functioning
at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds

and dry all parts thoroughly.
9. 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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug your Cuisinart® SmartPower® Deluxe™
600-Watt Blender from the electrical outlet before
cleaning. The blender is made of corrosion-resistant

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

utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar
or cutting assembly.

straight up and away. Twist off the locking ring by
turning counterclockwise.

rubber gasket before cleaning.
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is
SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove
blades from 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.

to remove any residue, and dry thoroughly. Never
submerge the motor base in water or other liquid, or
place in a dishwasher.
•

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.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service,
California residents have the option of returning a
nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was
purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells
Cuisinart products of the same type. The retail store
shall then, according to its preferences, either repair
the product, refer the consumer to an independent
repair facility, replace the product, or refund the
purchase price less the amount directly attributable
to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If
either of the above two options does not result in the
appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may
then take the product to an independent repair facility
if service or repair can be economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible
for the reasonable cost of such service, repair,
replacement, or refund for nonconforming products
under warranty.
California residents may also, at their preference,
return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart
