If your blender does not function properly following this procedure, discontinue use and contact a certified Cuisinart Consumer Service Center. 7. TIMING YOUR RECIPES: The Hurricane™ features a 3-Minute Count Up/Down Timer so that you can time your recipes and guarantee perfect results. The timer begins counting Up or Down as soon as you push your desired function. Speed or the timer can be set without selecting a preprogrammed function. When the unit is turned on, press the up or down time arrows, to set time as desired. Timer will count down when activated on Low or High speed. Timer will count up if no time is selected. Note: The unit's short-term memory will save and display the new time selected until the unit is turned off. You can pause the timer by pausing the blending process. Do this by pushing the button corresponding to the function you are currently using. For example: If you are blending on Low and you push the Low function button, the blender will stop blending and the timer will stop counting, but the unit will remain on. To continue blending and timing your recipe, push the function chosen (Low) again. The timer will also stop counting when it reaches 3 minutes.
