OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® PowerBlend 600™ Electronic Blender on a flat, sturdy surface. It is important that the surface be clean and dry. Assemble the blender by following the assembly instructions. Once the jar is assembled and is in position on the motor base, plug the Cuisinart® PowerBlend 600™ Electronic Blender into an electrical outlet. 2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar, and replace the cover. You may add more ingredients by lifting the measured pour lid and dropping ingredients through the fill area. Replace the measured pour lid after adding ingredients. Do not put hands into blender jar with blender plugged in. NOTE: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with solid ingredients. This will provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary stress on the motor. NOTE: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upwards. Lifting measured pour lid will not remove cover. 3. To start blending: Press the On button. The red On LED light will flash, indicating that the blender is turned on but no speed has been selected. 4.

It is possible to switch speeds without pressing the Off button, by simply pushing the next desired speed button. 5. To reset the blender: The unit has an advanced thermal, resettable fuse feature. In the event of an overload condition, the unit will shut down to protect the motor from overheating. When this happens reset the unit by unplugging the blender and let it cool down for a minimum of 15 minutes. 6. To stop the blending process: Re-press the activated speed button. The blending process will stop. The red On indicator light will continue to flash to let you know that the blender is still on and can be reactivated by pushing the desired speed button.
