Blender Operation - Cuisinart SmartPower Duet FPB-5 Series Instruction Booklet

BLENDER OPERATION

1. Place the motor base of your
Cuisinart ® SmartPower Duet ®
Blender/Food Processor onto 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.
Tip: Liquid ingredients can be measured
in the measured pour lid using the
measurement marking. Solid ingredients
can be added by simply dropping them
through the fill area into the blender jar.
Replace the measured pour lid after
adding ingredients.
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift
edge of cover upwards. Lifting measured
pour lid will not remove cover.
3. TO START BLENDING: press
the ON button. The red ON LED
light will flash, indicating that the
blender is turned on but no speed
has been selected.

5. TO STOP THE BLENDING
PROCESS: re-press the activated
speed button. The blending
process will stop. The red ON
indicator light will continue to
flash to let you know that the
blender is still ON and can be
reactivated by pushing the desired
speed button. The blender can be
completely deactivated and
stopped from any speed by pushing
the OFF button.
You will need to press the ON
button again to continue blending.
6. PULSE MODE: while the blender
is turned ON, you can create a burst
of power for quick, efficient blending
by activating the PULSE function.
To do so, first push the PULSE
button which will cause the PULSE
indicator light to flash. Next, push
and release the desired speed button.
Repeat as desired. You determine the
duration of each pulse. While
pulsing, all indicator lights (the ON,
the PULSE, and the desired
SPEED) will glow.
