speed indicator light will glow. The blender will now be functioning at the desired
speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing the Off button, by simply
pushing the next desired
speed button.
5. To reset the blender: The unit has an advanced thermal resettable fuse feature. If
the event of an overload condition the unit will shut down to protect the motor
from overheating. When this happens, to reset the unit, unplug the blender and let
it cool down for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then look to reduce the contents and/
or clear any jams, then restart as noted in the operating directions.
6. 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.
7. Pulse Mode: while the blender is turned on, you can create a burst of power for
quick, efficient blending by activating this 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.
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: Use blender jar only. The Cuisinart
Food Processor 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
give you greater control, the Ice Crush function automatically operates as a Pulse
function. To crush ice, place ice cubes in the blender jar, and place the cover and
the measured pour lid on the blender jar. Press the On button. Press the Ice Crush

button in short pulses until ice is crushed to desired consistency. See the Recipe
Tips section on page 12 for more details.
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 OFF AND UNPLUGGED
THE BLENDER. Replace the cover and measured pour lid and continue blending
if necessary. Make sure spatula is not inside the blender jar before blending.
10. When finished blending: press the Off button, and unplug the blender from the
electrical outlet. Never remove the blender jar from the motor base until pressing
the Off button. Do not twist locking ring from blender jar when removing jar from
motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base. Do not place hands into
blender jar with blender plugged in.
