self-serve dispenser tap right on the front. Your guests can help themselves  
to frozen drinks or smoothies, so you can enjoy the party, too! When blend-  
ing chunky dips, batter for crêpes, or hearty protein shakes, simply replace  
the dispenser tap with the plug and pour from the jar. You’ll find the 5-but-  
ton control panel simple to use, and the styling so dynamic you’ll want to  
leave your Smooth Operator® out on the counter for all to see!

to the back of the blender.  
6. Screw the dispenser tap or dispenser plug onto the front of the locking  
ring.  
Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with solid ingredients. This  
will provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary stress on  
the motor.  
7. Plug in power cord. Your blender is now ready to be used.  
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of  
cover upwards. Lifting measured pour lid will not  
remove cover.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Always unplug your Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® Blender from the electrical  
outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of corrosion-resistant parts  
which 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

SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from  
locking ring.  
Stopper  
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured pour lid or blending stick.  
Wash in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly, or place in upper

down in the dishwasher, and the dispenser tap and the plug can be washed  
in the top rack of the dishwasher.  
Dispenser Body  
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.  
CLEANING DISPENSER TAP  
To disassemble dispenser tap for cleaning:  
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 locking  
ring with cutting assembly and gasket in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry  
all parts thoroughly.

DOS AND DON’TS WHEN USING  
YOUR BLENDER  
DON’T:  
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.  
• Don’t place locking ring with cutting assembly onto motor base without  
the blender jar attached.  
DO:  
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that stated  
on the bottom of the blender motor base.  
Do not 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.  
• 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 12 inch (1.3 cm) to 1 inch (2.5  
cm) to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no  
larger than 12 inch (1.3 cm).  
• Don't twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar from  
motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.  
• Don’t overblend 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.  
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol.  
Replace measured pour lid or blending stick after ingredients have  
been added.  
• Don’t use any utensil, other than the blending stick provided, inside the  
blender jar while the motor is on. Note: Blending stick is to be used only  
with cover in place.  
• 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.  
• 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 or insert fingers into the  
dispenser hole when blender is plugged in.  
• Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or 12-inch  
pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for  
5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.  
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on.  
• Make sure locking ring with cutting assembly is tightly attached to  
blender jar.  
• Always remove locking ring with cutting assembly, rubber gasket,  
dispenser tap and dispenser plug 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.  
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs, nuts,  
spices, etc, make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are com-  
pletely dry.  
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, use  
blending stick and pulse in short bursts.  
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotat-  
ing between pulses.  
• Always use blending stick with cover in place.

LIMITED THREE-YEAR  
WARRANTY  
This warranty supersedes all previous warranties  
on Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® Blenders. This  
warranty is available to consumers only. You are  
a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Smooth  
Operator® Blender that was purchased at retail  
for personal, family, or household use. Except as  
otherwise required under applicable state law,  
this warranty is not available to retailers or other  
commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant  
that your Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® Blender  
will be free of defects in material or workmanship  
under normal home use for three years from the  
date of original purchase. We suggest that you  
complete and return the enclosed product regis-  
tration 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 origi-  
nal proof of purchase in order to obtain the war-  
ranty 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.  
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling  
of any Cuisinart® product that is being returned,  
we recommend you use a traceable, insured  
delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be held respon-  
sible for in-transit damage or for packages that  
are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged  
products are not covered under warranty.  
Your Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® Blender has  
been manufactured to strict specifications and  
has been designed for use with the Cuisinart®  
Smooth Operator® Blender accessories and  
replacement parts. These warranties expressly  
exclude any defects or damages caused by  
accessories, replacement parts, or repair service  
other than those that have been authorized by  
Cuisinart. These warranties do not cover any  
damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment,  
or other than ordinary household use. These  
warranties exclude all incidental or consequential  
damages. Some states do not allow the exclu-  
sion of or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages, so the foregoing limitation may not  
apply to you.  
California residents may also, at their preference,  
return nonconforming products directly to  
Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement  
by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free  
at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible  
for the cost of the repair, replacement, and ship-  
ping and handling for such nonconforming prod-  
ucts under warranty.  
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR  
CUISINART PRODUCT  
If you are experiencing problems with your  
Cuisinart® product, we suggest that you call our  
Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190  
before returning the product for servicing. Often,  
our Consumer Service Representatives can help  
solve the problem without having the product  
serviced. If servicing is needed, a Representative  
can confirm whether the product is under warran-  
ty and direct you to the nearest service location.  
If your blender should prove to be defective  
within the warranty period, we will repair it  
(or, if we think it necessary, replace it) without  
charge to you. To obtain warranty service, please  
call our Consumer Service Center toll-free at  
1-800-726-0190 or write to:  
*Important: If the nonconforming product is to be  
serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s  
Authorized Service Center, please remind the  
servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at  
1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is  
properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with  
the correct parts, and to ensure that the product  
is still under warranty.  
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, according  
to its preferences, 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 con-  
sumer’s prior usage of the product. If either of the  
above two options does not result in the appro-  
priate relief to the consumer, the consumer may
