TO DISLODGE FOOD: Use a 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 removable measuring cup and continue blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula is not inside the blender jar before blending. 10.

If the unit has overheated, let it cool down (15 minutes) before powering on. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always unplug your Cuisinart® Hurricane™ 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 jar pad by lifting straight up and away, and hand-wash. CAUTION: Remove the blender jar cover and the removable measuring cup. 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 blade assembly as follows: Squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and fill with 24 ounces warm water. Run on Low for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Empty blender jar. Any servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative. DOs 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 removable measuring cup to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol. Replace removable measuring cup after ingredients have been added. • Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only when the blender is 6
