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.

simply pushing the next desired
speed button.
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 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
