RESETTING THERMAL
PROTECTION
•
Your blender is equipped with a
manual reset switch to protect the
motor from overheating.
•
If your blender stops running under heavy
use, turn toggle switch to OFF and unplug the
power cord. Empty the blender container of
all its contents and allow approximately 5 to
10 minutes for the motor to cool down.
•
Plug the power cord back into the outlet and
continue blending.
•
If your blender does not function properly
following this procedure, discontinue use
and contact a certified Cuisinart Customer
Service Center.
IMPORTANT
HOT BLENDING
INSTRUCTIONS
To minimize the possibility of being scalded when
blending hot materials, the following precautions
and procedures must be observed.
•
Hot materials are those which are 100°F
(38°C) or hotter.
•
Limit the amount of materials processed
to 1 pint.
•
Completely remove the center part of the
two-piece lid before starting motor. (This
will allow venting of the rapidly heated and
expanding air inside the container when
blender is running.)
•
Always start blending on lowest speed
setting, and then progress to desired speed.
•
Never stand directly over blender when it
is being started or while it is running. DO
NOT put your hand on top of blender while
blending. Hot steam may be escaping.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
The container must be cleaned and dried after
each use.
CAUTION: Never immerse blender base in
water or other liquids.
CAUTION: Be extremely careful when cleaning
around the blades. They are very sharp.
1. Remove the container from the blender base
and remove the lid.
2. To clean the container, you can place it
on the top rack of the dishwasher or clean it
by hand.
3. To clean the container by hand:
A. Mix a few drops of dishwashing detergent
with 1 cup of cool water and add it to the
container. Scrub and rinse out the interior
of the container and the lid to dislodge and

the container. Add another few drops of
dishwashing detergent to the container with
1 cup of cool water. Put lid on container,
place container on blender base, plug the
blender in and run on high speed for two
minutes. Rinse well.
B. To clean the blender base, unplug the power
cord. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft
cloth or sponge dampened with cleaning
solution. Rinse with clean water. Do not
immerse the base in cleaning solution or

to initial use, and whenever blender has not
been used within a period of one hour.
Any other servicing should be performed by an
authorized service representative.
