• 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. 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

15 to 20 seconds. Drain in fine strainer if desired. Makes about
½ cup of puréed tomatoes.
1 cup at a time.
• 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.
• 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. 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

Place the eggs, flour, milk and salt in the blender jar in the order
listed; cover blender jar. Blend on Mix for 10 seconds. Scrape the
sides of the jar if needed. With the blender running, add the melted
butter in a steady stream and blend for 10 seconds. Let batter rest
for 10 to 15 minutes.
Melt the butter over medium heat in a 6-quart sauté pan. Add
the onions and celery, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables
are translucent. Add the curry powder and ginger, cook for 5 to 6
minutes longer over low heat until the vegetables are softened and
the spices are fragrant. Add the butternut squash, apples, and rice
to the pan. Stir to coat with the butter and spices and cook for
about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, salt, and pepper. Bring
soup to a boil and then reduce to simmer. Simmer for about 40 to
45 minutes, until vegetables are very tender.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Bake in the
preheated oven until puffy and nicely browned, about 40 minutes.
Use a cake tester to pierce each popover several times and bake
for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven, loosen from pans
with a thin-blade knife and gently lift out. Serve hot.
Strain the solids from the liquid, reserving all liquid. Have a clean
large saucepan ready.

14. Always operate blender with the cover in place.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
15. Never leave your blender unattended while it is running.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
16. When blending HOT liquids, remove measured pour lid
(center piece of cover) to allow steam to escape.
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put
motor base of blender in water or other liquid.
17. Twist on locking ring firmly. Injury can result if moving blades
accidentally become exposed.
18. Do not use an extension cord with this unit. Doing so may
result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children. Cuisinart does not recommend the use of this
appliance by children.
Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has been provided so
that you will have flexibility in positioning your Cuisinart®
PowerBlend 600™ blender near an electrical outlet. Exercise
care when using the longer cord, to avoid entangling or
tripping over the cord. The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter or tabletop, where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over. Excess cord should
be stored in the cord storage area at the back of the blender
base to avoid injury caused by the longer cord.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning or removing contents
from blender jar. Never put hands into the blender jar or
container, or handle the blades with appliance plugged in.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return appliance to nearest Cuisinart service
facility for examination, repair, and/or mechanical or electrical
adjustment.
19. Wash the blender jar, cutting assembly, locking ring, and
cover before first use.
20. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
OR FIRE, DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USER
SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. REPAIR SHOULD BE
DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
7. The use of attachments, including canning or ordinary jars,
not recommended or sold by Cuisinart may cause fire,
electrical shock, or risk of injury to persons.
21. WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES READY TO
OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of counter or table or touch
hot surfaces.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending, to
reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to
blender itself. A rubber or plastic spatula may be used but
must be used only when the blender is turned OFF.
11. When blender is in ON mode, and LED lights are flashing or
glowing, do not touch cutting assembly, interfere with blade
movement, or remove blender jar cover. Accidentally touching
a speed button may activate the blender.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the
other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug.
12. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY. STORE OUT
OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly on
base unless the blender jar is properly attached.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.

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.
7. Pulse mode: While the blender is turned on, you can create a
burst of power for quick, efficient blending, by activating the
pulse function. To do so, first push the Pulse button, which will
cause the pulse indicator light to flash. Next, push and release
the desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine
the duration of each pulse. While pulsing, all indicator lights
(the on, the pulse, and the desired speed lights) 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
which do not require an extended amount of blending.
8. To crush ice: The PowerBlend 600™ Electronic 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 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 in the
Recipe Booklet for more details.
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.
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
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.
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.
