WARNING: FLASHING RED LIGHT INDICATES  
READY TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.  
Boiling liquids or solid frozen foods (with the  
exception of ice cubes or ½-inch [1.3 cm] pieces of  
frozen fruit) should never be put into the blender jar.  
5. To reset the unit: This appliance features an  
advanced resettable thermal fuse. In the event  
of an overload condition, the unit will shut down  
to protect the motor from overheating. To reset  
the appliance when this happens, unplug the unit  
and let it cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then,  
reduce the contents of the blender jar and/or clear  
any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the operating  
directions.  
Do not put ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids  
into a blender jar that has come directly from a hot  
dishwasher.  
Do not put very hot liquids or foods into a blender  
jar that has come directly from the freezer. Boiling  
liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being  
poured into blender jar.  
6. To pause or stop blending process:  
Follow Cleaning and Maintenance instructions on  
page 6, prior to your first use.  
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.  
OPERATION  
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart®  
SmartPower® Deluxe600-Watt Blender on 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 unit into an electrical outlet.  
b. To stop blending process:  
Push the On/Off button when you are finished  
with your recipe and would like to turn the  
blender off.  
c. To prevent excessive stress to the motor:  
Your blender incorporates an auto-stop feature.  
After running continuously for two minutes, the  
blender will automatically revert to Standby  
mode. To continue blending, press the desired  
function.  
2. Put all necessary ingredients into the blender jar and  
replace the cover. 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 into blender jar with blender plugged in.  
7. 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 illuminate. Push the  
Pulse button and the Pulse LED indicator light will  
blink. Push and release the desired speed button.  
Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of  
each pulse. While pulsing, the LED indicator light 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 that do  
not require an extended amount of blending.  
8. To crush ice: The SmartPower® Deluxe600-  
Watt Blender motor is strong enough to crush  
ice without liquid at any speed; however, for your  
convenience, we have preset the best speed for  
ice crushing. To crush ice, place ice cubes in  
the blender jar. Press the On/Off button. The On  
indicator light will illuminate. Press the Ice Crush  
button until ice is crushed to desired consistency.  
Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with  
solid ingredients. This will provide more consistent  
blending and prevent unnecessary stress on the  
motor.  
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of  
cover upward. Lifting measured pour lid will not  
remove cover.  
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.  
4. Choose blending speed: Press High, Low or Ice  
Crush buttons to determine the speed at which  
you would like to blend the ingredients. Both the  
On indicator light and the activated speed indicator  
lights will glow. The blender will now be functioning  
at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds

and dry all parts thoroughly.  
9. To dislodge food: Use a rubber or plastic spatula  
to help 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.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Always unplug your Cuisinart® SmartPower® Deluxe™  
600-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.  
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.  
Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting  
straight up and away. Twist off the locking ring by  
turning counterclockwise.  
Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender  
with the cover on.  
Remove the cutting assembly and rubber gasket.  
Wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.  
Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to  
blender jar.  
Place the locking ring in the upper rack of the  
dishwasher or wash in warm water.  
Always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and  
rubber gasket before cleaning.  
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is  
SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove  
blades from cutting assembly.  
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.  
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.  
When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest,  
bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure the  
blender jar and cutting assembly are completely  
dry.  
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.  
If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar  
when blending, pulse in short bursts.  
Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses  
so the blades stop rotating between pulses.  
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
