6. TO PAUSE OR STOP BLENDING PROCESS  
OPERATION  
a) To Pause Blending Process: Push the button corresponding to  
the speed at which you are currently blending. For example: If you  
are blending on High speed, push the High speed button and the  
blender will stop blending but the unit will remain on.  
®
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart PowerEdge 700-Watt Blender  
onto a flat, sturdy surface. It is important that the surface be clean and  
dry. Assemble the blender by following the Assembly instructions. Once  
the jar is assembled and is in position on the motor base, plug the

Note: By pausing the blending process, you will also pause the timer.  
The timer will pause until you start blending again.  
Cuisinart PowerEdge 700-Watt Blender into an electrical outlet.  
2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar, and replace the cover.  
Make sure that the triangle icon in the cover is aligned with the pour  
spout. This will ensure smoother lifting of the lid. You may add more  
ingredients by lifting the measured pour lid and dropping ingredients  
through the fill area. Replace the measured pour lid after adding  
ingredients. Do not put hands in blender jar with blender plugged in.  
b) To Stop the Blending Process: Push the On/Off button when you  
are finished with your recipe and would like to turn the blender off.  
Note: When you push the On/Off button, to power the blender off  
the timer will stop counting and the LCD display will be off. When the  
blender is turned back on and a speed button is pushed, the timer will  
begin to count from 0:00.  
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upward. Lifting  
measured pour lid will not remove cover.  
7. TIMING YOUR RECIPES: The PowerEdge 700-Watt Blender features a  
3-minute Count-Up Timer so that you can time your recipes and guar-  
3. START BLENDING: Press the On/Off button. The red LED indicator light  
will illuminate and flash, indicating that the blender is turned on but no  
speed has been selected. This is Standby mode.  
antee perfect results. The timer begins counting from 0 as soon as you  
push your desired speed: High, Low, Pulse, Purée or Soups & Sauces.  
The timer will continue to count up even if you change speeds during  
blending. You can pause the timer by pausing the blending process. Do  
this by pushing the button corresponding to the speed at which you are  
currently blending. For example: If you are blending in Low speed and  
you push the Low speed button, the blender will stop blending and the  
timer will stop counting, but the unit will remain on. To continue blending  
and timing your recipe, push the function chosen again. The timer will  
also stop counting when it reaches 3:00 minutes, and an audible chime  
will sound. The timer will reset itself when the On/Off button is pushed, a  
different speed is selected or a pre-programmed function is engaged.  
4. CHOOSE BLENDING SPEED: Press desired function to determine the  
speed at which you would like to blend the ingredients. The indicator  
light for the activated speed will glow. The blender will now be function-  
ing at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing  
the On/Off button by simply pushing another speed button.  
Note: The Count Up Timer will begin counting when the desired speed  
button is pushed. When you switch into a pre-programmed speed, the  
timer will reset to support the new command.  
8. Pre-Programmed Recipes: Smoothie and Ice Crush are both  
programmed based on extensive testing in our kitchen. As part of their  
programming, the blender will pause between burst and cycles. This  
is normal and by design.  
5. PULSE MODE: The Pulse mode allows you to create a burst of power  
for quick, efficient blending. To use the Pulse function, push the  
On/Off button and the red LED indicator light will flash. Push the Pulse  
button and the Pulse LED indicator light will blink. Push and release the  
desired speed button. Repeat as desired. While pulsing, the LED indica-  
tor Pulse light will remain solid while the function button is pressed. 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 continu-  
ous power, or when processing items that do not require an extended  
amount of blending.  
a) Start Smoothie by powering the unit On and pressing Smoothie. The  
LED backlight will illuminate and a 30-second count-up program will  
begin. Not smooth enough for your liking? After the cycle stops, return  
to Standby and press the Smoothie button again to start a new cycle.  
An audible chime will sound at the end of the cycle. You may stop the  
program at any time by hitting the Smoothie button again or by  
powering the unit Off.  
Note: The timer will count when you push Pulse and hold down the func-  
tion button. The timer will pause when you release the function button. It  
will reset if you press Pulse again.  
6
b) Crushing Ice: From the Standby mode, press Ice Crush. A pre-pro-  
grammed cycle will begin. It is designed to run for three 35-second  
cycles and will automatically stop at that point and an audible chime  
will sound. To start another cycle, press Ice Crush again. To interrupt  
the program, press Ice Crush and the unit will pause, reverting to  
Standby. To continue, press Ice Crush again. To stop the cycle, move  
to another setting or press On/Off.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
®
Always unplug your Cuisinart PowerEdge 700-Watt Blender  
from the electrical outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of  
corrosion-resistant parts that 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.

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.  
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.  
10. WHEN FINISHED BLENDING: Press the On/Off button and 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 motor base. Simply lift  
blender jar from motor base. Do not put hands into blender jar with  
blender plugged in.  
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is SHARP and 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 placed upside down in dishwasher.  
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.  
Tip: You may wish to clean your blender cutting assembly as follows:  
Squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar  
and fill halfway with warm water. Run on Low for 15 seconds. Repeat, using  
clean tap water. Empty blender jar and carefully disassemble parts. Wash  
cutting assembly, gasket and locking ring in warm, soapy water. Rinse and  
dry all parts thoroughly.  
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 cubes approximately ½ inch (1.3 cm) to  
1 inch (2.5 cm) to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses  
into pieces no larger than ½ inch (1.3 cm).

• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol.  
Replace measured pour lid after ingredients have been added.

• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.  
frozen drinks.  
Chopping Nuts: Place ½ cup shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover  
blender. Pulse on High until desired chop is achieved. Pulse fewer times for  
coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process small amounts,  
½ cup or less.  
• 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 center of the blender jar,  
over the cutting assembly.  
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: Break or cut bread, cookies or  
crackers into pieces ½ inch or less in size. For best bread results, use  
day-old bread (drier bread works best). Place bread, cookie or cracker  
pieces in blender jar. Pulse on Low to chop, then blend continuously until  
desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best results, process 1 cup or  
less at a time.  
When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs, nuts, spices,  
etc., make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are completely dry.  
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, pulse  
in short bursts.  
Crushing Ice: Add up to 8 standard ice cubes to the blender jar.  
Cover. Press the pre-programmed Ice Crush button. Timer will sound; turn  
blender off.  
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop  
rotating between pulses.  
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and cutting  
assembly must be clean and dry. Remove zest from fruit in strips using a  
vegetable peeler; use a sharp knife to remove the bitter white pith from the  
underside of the zest. Process no more than 8 strips at a time (zest of 1  
medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar  
or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on High;  
blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.  
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.  
• Do not attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat egg  
Baby Food: Combine no more than 1 pound of cooked vegetables or  
fruit with ½ cup liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking liquid) in  
the blender jar. Cover. Set on Purée. Blend until smooth. Add more liquid  
as necessary and process further until desired texture is reached. Always  
consult with your pediatrician/family physician concerning the best foods for  
your baby and when to introduce new foods to his/her diet.  
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.  
Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces; remove the outer  
hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar and cover blender. Pulse on High to  
chop cheese, then blend until desired grind is reached. For best results,  
grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.  
• Don’t overload blender. If the motor stalls, turn the blender off immedi-  
ately, unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food, then continue.  
Grinding Spices: For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must  
be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices/seeds/peppercorns to blender  
jar. Cover. Pulse on High to break up, then blend until desired consistency  
is achieved.  
• 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 put hands inside the blender jar when blender is plugged in.  
Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and cutting assembly in  
refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to blender  
jar. Cover jar. Set on High and blend until cream is thickened. (Do not  
overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.) If desired, add 1 tablespoon  
• Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or ½-inch  
pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool  
for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.  
8
sugar and 1 to ꢀ teaspoons of vanilla or other flavoring. Consistency will be  
that of a thickened, but not fluffy, whipped cream and is most appropriate  
for topping desserts or coffee drinks.  
When using the blender to purée hot mixtures such as creamed soups and  
baby foods, strain the solids from the liquid, reserving the cooking liquid.  
Then place the cooked solids in the blender jar along with ½ to 1 cup of  
the reserved cooking liquid. Use the Pulse function to chop, then blend  
until desired consistency/purée is reached.  
Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to prevent steam buildup,  
which may cause the lid to lift up from the blender jar.  
Keep your blender out on the counter within easy reach and you will be  
surprised how often you will use it.  
Keep ice cubes made of juices, yogurt, milk or fruit purées on hand to  
substitute for plain ice when making smoothies and frosty beverages to  
prevent diluting the drink.

This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by  
accessories, replacement parts, or repair service other than those that  
have been authorized by Cuisinart.  
LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY  
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you  
®
own a Cuisinart PowerEdge 700-Watt Blender that was purchased at  
retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise  
required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers  
or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your  
This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse,  
shipment or other ordinary household use.  
This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some  
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so this  
limitation may not apply to you.  
®
Cuisinart PowerEdge 700-Watt Blender will be free of defects in  
materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the  
date of original purchase.  
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed product registration  
card promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase.  
However, return of the product registration card does not eliminate the  
need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in  
order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have  
proof of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty  
will be the date of manufacture.  
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:  
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents  
have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store  
where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store which sells  
Cuisinart products of the same type.  
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either repair the product,  
refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the  
product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly  
attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above  
two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the  
consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if  
service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not  
the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such  
service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products  
under warranty.  
®

California residents may also, according to their preference, return  
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,  
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at  
1-800-7ꢀ6-0190.  
Please pay by check or money order (California residents need only  
supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-7ꢀ6-0190 for shipping  
instructions).  
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and  
shipping and handling for such products under warranty.
