INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You have purchased
two of Cuisinart's most versatile
appliances wrapped into one!
The SmartPower Duet
®
Blender/
Food Processor combines Cuisinart's
5-Speed Electronic Blender with our
legendary Cuisinart
®
Food Processor.
As a blender, the SmartPower Duet
®
Blender/Food Processor is the life of
the party, engineered with five speeds
that let you purée, blend, mix, stir,
liquefy and more. One speed is just for
crushing ice, though ice can be crushed
perfectly at any of the settings. You can
make soups, salsas, thick and delicious
frozen drinks, baby foods, etc. The
blending capabilities are endless!
Attach the work bowl and cover and
the SmartPower Duet
®
appliance
becomes a fully functioning Cuisinart
®
classic food processor. Chop raw and
cooked foods, including meats,
to any consistency. The reversible
slicing/shredding disc and feed tube
let you make mountains of vegetables,
fruits and most cheeses in minutes.
This combination of Cuisinart's two
most versatile appliances into one
promises years of happy and healthy
food preparation.
As with all Cuisinart
®
appliances,
cleanup is quick and easy.
