DO's 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. • 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. • Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on. • Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar. • 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. • When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs, 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. • Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotating between pulses. 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. • Blender will not 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. • 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. • 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. 8
