stopped at 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. 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 which
do not require an extended amount of blending.

however, for your convenience, we have preset the best speed

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 8
for more details.

remove food lodged around the cutting assembly. DO NOT
USE SPATULA UNTIL YOU HAvE TURNED THE BLENDER
OFF. Replace the cover and measured pour lid and continue
blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula is not inside the
blender jar before blending.

unplug the blender from the electrical outlet. Never remove
the blender jar from the motor base until the blender is off. Do
not twist locking ring from blender jar when removing jar from

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart

corrosion-resistant parts which are easy to clean. Before first use
and after every use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check
all parts before reassembly. If any part is damaged or blender jar is
chipped or cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER.
Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting straight up
and away. Twist off the locking ring by turning counterclockwise.
Remove the cutting assembly and rubber gasket. Wash in warm
soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Place the locking ring in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash
in warm water.

may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting
assembly.
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured pour lid. Wash
in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly, or place in upper
rack of dishwasher. The blender jar must be washed in warm soapy
water and rinsed and dried thoroughly. The blender jar can also be

Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth to remove
any residue, and dry thoroughly. Never submerge the motor base in
water or other liquid, or place in a dishwasher.
