Operation - Cuisinart CB-600FPPC4 Instruction Booklet

OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® SmartPower Premier
Duet™ 600-Watt 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 unit into an electrical outlet.
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.
Note: For best blending results, 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 button. The red LED indicator
light will illuminate, indicating that the blender is turned on
but no speed has been selected.
4. Choose blending speed: Press High or Low button to
determine the speed at which you would like to blend the
ingredients. Both the On indicator light andthe activated speed
indicator lights will glow. The blenderwill now be functioning
at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without
pressing the Off button simply byselecting another speed.

5. To pause or stop blending process:

blending process when you do not want continuous power, or
when processing items that do not require an extended amount
of blending.
