6. TO RESET THE UNIT: Your blender is equipped with a Resettable Thermal
Protector to protect the motor. If the motor shuts down, unplug the blender.
Let the blender rest for approximately 15 minutes. Once the resting period
has elapsed, plug the power cord back into the outlet and continue blend-
ing. If your blender does not function properly following this procedure, dis-
continue use and contact a certified Cuisinart Consumer Service Center.
TIMING YOUR RECIPES: The Hurricane
7.
Down Timer so that you can time your recipes and guarantee perfect results.
The timer begins counting Up or Down as soon as you push your desired
function. Speed or the timer can be set without selecting a pre-programmed
function. When the unit is turned on, press the up or down time arrows, to
set time as desired. Timer will count down when activated on Low or High
speed. Timer will count up if no time is selected.
Note: The unit's short-term memory will save and display the new time
selected until the unit is turned off.
You can pause the timer by pausing the blending process. Do this by push-
ing the button corresponding to the function you are currently using.
For example: If you are blending on Low and you push the Low function
button, the blender will stop blending and the timer will stop counting, but
the unit will remain on. To continue blending and timing your recipe, push
the function chosen (Low) again. The timer will also stop counting when
it reaches 3 minutes. The blender will go into Standby mode when the
timed cycle is finished. The timer will reset itself when the On/Off button is
pushed, a pre-programmed function is engaged or you change functions.
Note: The Count Up/Down Timer will begin counting when the desired speed
or function button is pushed. When you switch into a pre-programmed speed or
function, the timer will reset to support the new command. You can adjust the
run time when choosing High or Low speeds, by pressing up or down arrows.
To activate, press the speed button. The LCD will start counting down from your
chosen time. Smoothie and Ice Crush function keys will count down. Low and
High speed keys will count up to 3 minutes if no time has been chosen.
Note: At the end of the designated cycle, High or Low, the unit will go into
Standby mode. To activate, press High or Low again to start a new cycle.
