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 contnuous power, or when processing items that do  
not require an extended amount of blending.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
®
®
Always unplug your Cuisinart SmartPower Electronic 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.  
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.  
®
8. To crush ice: The SmartPower Electronic Blender motor  
Place the locking ring in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash  
in warm water.  
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 give you greater control, the Ice Crush  
function automatically operates as a Pulse function. To crush  
ice, place ice cubes in the blender jar, and place the cover and  
the measured pour lid on the blender jar. Press the On button.  
Press the Ice Crush button in short pulses until ice is crushed  
to desired consistency. See the Recipe Tips section on page 9  
for details  
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.  
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 befor blending.  
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 Stir  
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.  
10. When finished blending: Press the 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 place  
hands in blender jar with blender plugged in.

• 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.  
DO’s and DON’Ts WHEN USING  
YOUR BLENDER  
• 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 when  
blending, pulse in short bursts.  
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry surface.  
• 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 ingredients  
are uniformly mixed.  
Don’t:  
• 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).  
• 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.  
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such  
as alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after ingredients have  
been added.  
• Blender will not mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat  
egg whites.  
• 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 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.  
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the  
cover on.  
• Don’t overprocess foods. Blender will achieve most desired  
results in seconds, not minutes.  
• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.  
• Always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and rubber gasket  
before cleaning.  
• 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  
½-inch pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids  
should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.

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. Blend on Liquefy for 30 to 35  
seconds. Turn blender off.  
RECIPE TIPS  
The simple recipes that follow include some old Cuisinart®  
favorites, as well as some creative combinations that are sure to  
please your friends and family. Thanks to the superior ice crushing  
®
power of the SmartPower Electronic Blender, you’ll also be able to  
make delicious frozen drinks.  
Whipping Cream: Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy  
cream) at a time. Blend on Mix, and process for 45 to 60  
seconds or until creamy and smooth. If making sweetened  
cream, add sugar after 10 seconds. Turn blender off. Makes  
about 1 cup.  
Chopping Nuts: Pulse ½ cup of nuts (shells removed) on Chop 4  
to 5 times. Turn blender off; scrape blender jar with spatula. Turn  
blender on and pulse on Chop 2 to 3 times. Turn blender off.  
Pulse fewer times for more coarsely chopped results. For best  
results, process no more than 1 cup at a time.  
• Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Rehydrate 1 ounce of tomatoes  
in 1 cup boiling water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or until  
softened. Add tomatoes and water to blender jar. Cover and  
pulse on Liquefy 5 times; then run continuously on Liquefy for 15  
to 20 seconds. Turn blender off. Drain in fine strainer if desired.  
Makes about ½ cup of puréed tomatoes.  
• Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: For best results, use  
day-old bread (drier bread works best). Break bread slices into  
½-inch pieces, and process no more than 1 cup of pieces at a  
time on Mix for 5 to 10 seconds. Crackers and cookies should  
also be broken into ½-inch pieces; process 1 cup at a time on  
Mix for 10 to 15 seconds. Turn blender off.  
• Crushing Ice: Add up to 10 large ice cubes to blender jar. Press  
the Ice Crush button, using short bursts, 10 times, or until cubes  
are the consistency of snow. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times  
if coarsely chopped ice is desired.  
• Grating Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and cutting  
assembly must be clean and dry. Remove zest from fruit in strips  
(using vegetable peeler). Use no more than 8 strips at a time  
(zest of one medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and  
1 teaspoon sugar (from recipe) to the blender jar. Blend on  
Liquefy for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.  
• Baby Food: Combine ½ cup cooked vegetables, fruit or meat  
with 3 tablespoons liquid (water, milk or fruit juice) in the blender  
jar. Blend on Purée for 15 to 20 seconds. Add more liquid if  
necessary and process again. Turn blender off.  
• Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces. Blend  
on Liquefy for 30 seconds. Turn blender off. For best results,  
grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.

original date of purchase, and any other information pertinent to  
the product’s return.  
Your Cuisinart® SmartPower® 7-Speed Electronic Blender has  
been manufactured to the strictest specifications and has  
been designed for use with the authorized accessories and  
replacement parts.  
WARRANTY  
LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY  
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a  
consumer if you own a Cuisinart® SmartPower® 7-Speed  
Electronic 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 Cuisinart® SmartPower® 7-Speed  
Electronic Blender will be free of defects in materials and  
workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from the date  
of original purchase.  
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.  
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 these exclusions may not apply to you.  
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.  
If your Cuisinart® SmartPower® 7-Speed Electronic Blender  
should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we  
will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain  
warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-800-726-  
0190 for additional information from our Customer Service  
Representatives, or send the defective product to Customer  
Service at Cuisinart, 150 Milford Road, East Windsor, NJ 08520.  
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.  
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please  
enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling of the product.  
Please pay by check or money order (California residents need  
only supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190  
for shipping instructions).

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.  
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any  
Cuisinart® product that is being returned, we recommend you
