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!

DOS AND DON'T

WHEN USING YOUR

BLENDER/FOOD

PROCESSOR

• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic,

onion, zest, bread crumbs, nuts,

spices, etc., make sure the blender

jar and cutting assembly are

completely dry.

DO:

• Make sure the electrical outlet is

rated at the same voltage as that

stated on the bottom of the blender

motor base.

• If food tends to stick to the sides of the

blender jar or food processor work

bowl during use, pulse in short bursts.

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.

• Always use the motor base on a

clean, sturdy and dry surface.

• When using food processor, pulses

should be short bursts. Space the

pulses so the blades stop rotating

between pulses.

•

Always add liquid ingredients to the

blender jar first, then add remaining

ingredients. This will ensure that

See the "Recipe Tips" section on

page 9 for more details.

remove food lodged around the

cutting assembly.

ingredients are uniformly mixed

DON’T:

• Don’t store food or liquids in your

blender jar or food processor work

bowl.

• When using either appliance, cut

most foods into cubes approximately

1/2" to 1" to achieve a more uniform

result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no

larger than 1/2".

CAUTION: Handle the cutting

assembly carefully. It is SHARP and

may cause injury. Do not attempt to

remove blades from cutting assembly.

DO NOT USE SPATULA

UNTIL YOU HAVE TURNED

OFF AND UNPLUGGED THE

BLENDER. Replace the cover and

measured pour lid and continue

blending if necessary. Make sure

spatula is not inside the blender jar

before blending.

• When using blender, don’t place

cutting assembly and locking ring

onto motor base without the blender

jar attached.

Remove the blender jar cover and the

measured pour lid. Wash in warm,

soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly,

or place in the upper rack of the

dishwasher. The blender jar can also be

placed upside down in the dishwasher.

• When using blender, use the

measured pour lid to measure liquid

ingredients such as alcohol. Replace

measured pour lid after ingredients

have been added.

• Blender or food processor will not

mash potatoes, knead dough, or beat

egg whites.

9. WHEN FINISHED

• When using either appliance, 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/work bowl or cutting assembly.

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 the dishwasher.

BLENDING: press the OFF

button, and unplug the blender

from the electrical outlet. Never

remove the blender jar from the

motor base until you have pressed

the OFF button. Do not twist

• Don’t remove blender jar or food

together; this can damage work bowl.

It is important not to let metal blade

fall out of work bowl as you empty it.

Here are two ways to prevent it from

falling out:

THE FOOD

HOW TO PREPARE IT.

To purée, follow same procedure as

for chopping, but let machine run

until food is a smooth purée.

Fruit and vegetables

Peel and core if necessary. Remove large hard pits and seeds.

Cut into 3/4" pieces and process up to 1 cup at a time.

New users are often surprised at how

fast the processor works. You will

quickly get used to its great speed.

Meat, poultry and fish

Should be very cold but not frozen. First, cut into 3/4" pieces.

Put up to 1/2 pound in work bowl. If you want to chop or

purée more, do it in batches of not more than 1/2 pound

each. Pulse/chop or run continuously until desired consistency

is reached. Check texture every 2 or 3 seconds to

avoid overprocessing.

These are some conditions that affect

your results:

•

Size of pieces you put in bowl –

all should be about the same size.

Amount of food you process –

don’t add too much.

Bread, crackers or cookies

for crumbs

Break into 1" pieces and process continuously until texture

is fine. For seasoned crumbs, chop with herbs. For buttered

crumbs, dribble melted butter through feed tube while

processing - 1 teaspoon melted butter to each slice of bread.

1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to

remove food from around blade.

Carefully remove blade by the

plastic hub.

Type of processing you choose –

continuous or pulse/chopping.

2. Hold top of blade in place with

finger or spatula while pouring out

processed food.

ADDING FOOD

Crumb crusts

Chop crackers or cookies as described in preceding paragraph.

Add sugar, spices and butter and cut into pieces, as specified by

recipe. Pulse/chop until combined.

WHILE PROCESSING

To add liquid while the machine is

running, pour it through open feed

tube. This is especially useful when

making mayonnaise or dressings.

A small hole in the pusher allows you

to add liquids in a very slow, steady

stream – useful when making sauces.

At this point, you may either lift the

work bowl off motor base, or hold the

collar at the base and turn the handle

of the bowl counterclockwise and lift

blade straight up.

Hard cheese “grated”

If it’s too hard to cut with a knife, don’t try to chop it – it may

damage blade. First cut into 3/4" pieces. Pulse/chop until

pea-sized, then process continuously. You can chop it as coarse

or as fine as you want. Simply run machine longer for finer

chop. Process up to 3 ounces at one time.

Your SmartPower Duet Blender/Food

Processor makes many everyday food

preparation tasks much easier and

faster. Follow these guidelines to get

best results when using metal blade

with food you prepare most often.

When you want to add small pieces

of food like cheese, meat or garlic

cloves while machine is running,

drop them through open feed tube.

Whipping cream

Processor-whipped cream works well for most purposes. It is

excellent as a topping for desserts or hot drinks. Cream must

be at refrigerator temperature. You can whip up to 1 cup

at a time.

To prevent spills when adding

sugar and other dry ingredients,

use a funnel.

NOTE: Occasionally, a piece of food

may become wedged between the

blade and the work bowl. If this

happens, remove the cover, lift the

blade out carefully and remove the

wedged piece. Empty the bowl,

reinsert the blade and lock the cover

into place. Process smaller amounts of

the food at one time.

Parsley and other fresh herbs

Work bowl and metal blade must be clean and dry. Remove

stems; use leaves only. Dry herbs completely. The more herbs

you chop at once, the finer chop you can get. Chopped herbs

keep for several days in the refrigerator in airtight bags, or can

be frozen for months.
