• 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.
DO’s and DON’Ts WHEN USING
YOUR BLENDER
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs,
nuts, spices, etc., make sure the blender jar and cutting
assembly are completely dry.
Do:
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as
that stated on the bottom of the blender motor base.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when
blending, pulse in short bursts.
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry surface.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades
stop rotating between pulses.
• Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar first, then
add remaining ingredients. This will ensure that ingredients
are uniformly mixed.
Don’t:
• Cut most foods into cubes approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm) to
1 inch (2.5 cm) to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses
into pieces no larger than ½ inch (1.3 cm).
• 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.
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such
as alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after ingredients have
been added.
• Blender will not mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat
egg whites.
• 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.
• 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.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the
cover on.
• Don’t overprocess foods. Blender will achieve most desired
results in seconds, not minutes.
• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.
• Always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and rubber gasket
before cleaning.
• 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
½-inch pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids
should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.

• Grinding Spices: For best results, blender jar and cutting
assembly must be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices/
seeds/peppercorns to blender jar. Blend on Liquefy for 30 to 35
seconds. Turn blender off.
RECIPE TIPS
The simple recipes that follow include some old Cuisinart®
favorites, as well as some creative combinations that are sure to
please your friends and family. Thanks to the superior ice crushing
®
power of the SmartPower Electronic Blender, you’ll also be able to
make delicious frozen drinks.
• Whipping Cream: Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy
cream) at a time. Blend on Mix, and process for 45 to 60
seconds or until creamy and smooth. If making sweetened
cream, add sugar after 10 seconds. Turn blender off. Makes
about 1 cup.
• Chopping Nuts: Pulse ½ cup of nuts (shells removed) on Chop 4
to 5 times. Turn blender off; scrape blender jar with spatula. Turn
blender on and pulse on Chop 2 to 3 times. Turn blender off.
Pulse fewer times for more coarsely chopped results. For best
results, process no more than 1 cup at a time.
• Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Rehydrate 1 ounce of tomatoes
in 1 cup boiling water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or until
softened. Add tomatoes and water to blender jar. Cover and
pulse on Liquefy 5 times; then run continuously on Liquefy for 15
to 20 seconds. Turn blender off. Drain in fine strainer if desired.
Makes about ½ cup of puréed tomatoes.
• Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: For best results, use
day-old bread (drier bread works best). Break bread slices into
½-inch pieces, and process no more than 1 cup of pieces at a
time on Mix for 5 to 10 seconds. Crackers and cookies should
also be broken into ½-inch pieces; process 1 cup at a time on
Mix for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn blender off.
• Crushing Ice: Add up to 10 large ice cubes to blender jar. Press
the Ice Crush button, using short bursts, 10 times, or until cubes
are the consistency of snow. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times
if coarsely chopped ice is desired.
• Grating Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and cutting
assembly must be clean and dry. Remove zest from fruit in strips
(using vegetable peeler). Use no more than 8 strips at a time
(zest of one medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and
1 teaspoon sugar (from recipe) to the blender jar. Blend on
Liquefy for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.
• Baby Food: Combine ½ cup cooked vegetables, fruit or meat
with 3 tablespoons liquid (water, milk or fruit juice) in the blender
jar. Blend on Purée for 15 to 20 seconds. Add more liquid if
necessary and process again. Turn blender off.
• Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces. Blend
on Liquefy for 30 seconds. Turn blender off. For best results,
grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.

Your Cuisinart® SmartPower® 7-Speed Electronic Blender has
been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has
been designed for use with the authorized accessories and
replacement parts.
WARRANTY
LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a
consumer if you own a Cuisinart® SmartPower® 7-Speed
Electronic Blender that was purchased at retail for personal,
family or household use. Except as otherwise required under
applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other
commercial purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your Cuisinart® SmartPower® 7-Speed
Electronic Blender will be free of defects in materials and
workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date
of original purchase.
This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages
caused by accessories, replacement parts, or repair service
other than those that have been authorized by Cuisinart.
This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident,
misuse, shipment or other ordinary household use.
This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these
damages, so these exclusions may not apply to you.
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed product
registration card promptly to facilitate verification of the date of
original purchase. However, return of the product registration
card does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain
the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty
benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase
date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the
date of manufacture.
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 which sells Cuisinart® products of the same type.
If your Cuisinart® SmartPower® 7-Speed Electronic Blender
should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we
will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain
warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-800-726-
0190 for additional information from our Customer Service
Representatives, or send the defective product to Customer
Service at Cuisinart, 150 Milford Road, East Windsor, NJ 08520.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, 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 the above two options do 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.
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please
enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling of the product.
Please pay by check or money order (California residents need
only supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190
for shipping instructions).
California residents may also, according to their preference,
return nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair,
or if necessary, replacement, by calling our Consumer Service
Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any
Cuisinart® product that is being returned, we recommend you
use a traceable, insured delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be
held responsible for in-transit damage or for packages that
are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are not
covered under warranty. Please be sure to include your return

defect, product model number (located on bottom of product),
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair,
replacement, and shipping and handling for such products
under warranty.
