DOs and DON’Ts WHEN USING YOUR BLENDER
Do:
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that
stated on the bottom of the blender motor base.
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry surface.
• Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar first, then add
remaining ingredients. This will ensure that ingredients are
uniformly mixed.
• Cut most foods into approximately
1
⁄
2
-inch (1.25 cm) to 1-inch
(2.5 cm) cubes to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses
into pieces no larger than
1
⁄
2
-inch (1.25 cm).
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such as
alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after ingredients have been
added.
• Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only when the blender
is turned off. Never use metal utensils, as damage may occur to the
blender jar or cutting assembly.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on.
• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.
• Always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and rubber gasket
before cleaning.
• When scraping the blender jar with a spatula, remove the food
from the sides of the blender jar and place food in the centre of the
blender jar, over the cutting assembly.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs,
nuts, spices, etc, make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly
are completely dry.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop
rotating between pulses. If food tends to stick to the sides of the
blender jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.
Don’t:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Don’t place cutting assembly and locking ring onto motor base
without the blender jar attached.
• Don’t attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat
egg whites.
• Don’t remove blender jar while unit is on. Keep the blender jar
cover on the blender jar while blending.
• Don’t twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar
from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
• Don’t overprocess foods. Blender will achieve most desired results
in seconds, not minutes.
• Don’t overload blender. If the motor stalls, turn the blender off
immediately, unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food,
then continue.
• Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar while the motor is on.
• Don’t use any container or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart. Doing so may result in injury.
• Don’t place hands inside the blender jar when blender is plugged in.
• Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or
1
⁄
2
-inch [1.25 cm] pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling
liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.
