10. S OUP. The SOUP preset runs for 6 minutes, ideal for processing and heating ingredients. Be sure not to exceed the MAX FILL LINE when adding ingredients. 11. C LEAN. The CLEAN feature is a 30-second preset that automatically cleans your blender jar after each use. Simply add a few drops of dishwashing detergent to the jar with one cup of warm water. Put on the lid, press the CLEAN control, then press START/STOP. The preprogrammed cycle runs from low to high, and time counts down in the LCD. Some tasks, such as nut butters, may require additional cycles to clean. Rinse the jar thoroughly when done. 12. P AUSE. While blending in any preset function, press the active button to pause blending. Press the button a second time to reactivate the function. HELPFUL REMINDERS • Lid should always be secure while the unit is in operation. • Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry surface. • Secure the measuring cap insert in the lid by twisting it clockwise. • Once the lid is in position, additional ingredients can be added during blending by simply removing the measuring cap insert, adding ingredients, and replacing it, turning it to secure. • Do not place blender jar on base while motor is running or remove blender jar before the blender has stopped running. • Cut all foods into 1-inch pieces to achieve uniform results. • Do not attempt to blend boiling liquids or solid frozen foods (except for ice cubes or frozen fruits cut to 1-cubic inch or smaller). • When blending, place liquid ingredients into the jar first, followed by the softest ingredients. Ice or frozen fruit should be placed in the jar last. • Use a plastic spatula as needed, only when the blender is turned off. Never use metal utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar or blade. • When the blender has been running for 3 minutes, it will automatically shut off unless it is in SOUP mode, which operates for 6 minutes. • Milling hard ingredients and spices may cause some clouding to appear on the inside of the blender jar, but will not affect blender performance. • Use Turbo Boost function for maximum power to break up hard ingredients. • Do not exceed the MAX FILL LINE when adding food or liquid to the blending jar. • M ake sure the blender jar is completely dry when chopping ice, fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs or nuts and spices. • D o not store food or liquids in your blender jar. • B e careful not to overprocess foods. • D o not use any utensil inside the blender jar with the motor on. • U nplug blender before reaching into the blender jar. • N ever use carbonated liquids in a blender jar. Using carbonated liquids in the blender may result in injury. RECIPE TIPS • A llow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to prevent steam buildup, which may cause the lid to lift up from the blender jar. • W hen making pureed soup or sauce without using the soup funciton. Then place ½ to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid in the blender jar along with the cooked solids. Start blending on Speed 1 and gradually increase speed until desired consistency/ purée is reached. • K eep ice cubes made of juices, milk or fruit purées on hand to substitute for plain ice when making smoothies and frosty beverages to prevent diluting your drink. • F reeze overripe bananas, which make a delicious addition to your smoothie or shake. Simply peel, cut into pieces and wrap in wax paper for freezer storage until ready to use. • U se the timer when there are items you don't want to overblend, like heavy cream to make whipped cream or egg whites to fold into foods or make meringues. • T he Cuisinart® Hurricane™ Pro can also make frozen treats. Put 1 cup liquid, like rice milk, almond milk or soy milk, and 1 pound frozen fruit chunks in the blender jar. Select Speed 10 and press START. Blend until combined, gradually decreasing the speed once the big chunks are broken up and the mixture no longer turns over in the blender jar. • W hen blending thick items like hummus, it is normal for an air bubble to form in the center, preventing the mixture from blending. When this happens, simply lower the speed to "pop" the bubble and allow the ingredients to fall in and start blending again. Adding more liquid, like water or oil, also helps. 6
