IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. Always make sure the juice extractor cover is clamped securely in place before the motor is turned on. Do not unfasten clamps while the juicer is in operation. Be sure to turn the switch to the STOP position after each use of your juice extractor. Make sure the motor stops completely before disassembling.
3. Do not put fingers or other objects into the juice extractor opening while it is in operation. If food becomes stuck in the opening, use the food pusher or another piece of fruit or vegetable to push it down, or turn the motor off and disassemble the unit to remove the remaining food.

ASSEMBLY, USE, AND CARE

To use your Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor, begin by assembling the blender jar.

1. Turn the blender jar (a) upside down, and place it flat on a sturdy surface.
2. Position the rubber gasket (b) on the round opening at the bottom of the blender jar.
3. Turn the cutting assembly (c) upside down, and place the blade end in the blender jar opening. Note: Blades are very sharp, handle carefully.
4. Secure the rubber gasket and cutting assembly in position by placing the smaller opening of the locking ring (d) on top of the cutting assembly. Engage threads by twisting the locking ring clockwise until tightened. Make sure the locking ring is tightly fastened to a blender jar. Once assembled, turn the blender jar right side up.
5. Push the cover onto the top of the blender jar. Insert the measured pour lid into the cover, aligning the tabs in the pour lid with the slots in the cover. Twist clockwise to lock and pour the lid into the cover.
6. Place the blender jar on the motor base so that the jar markings are facing you and the handle is positioned to one side.
7. Plug in the power cord. Your blender is now ready to be used.

Helpful Reminders

• Once the cover is in position, additional ingredients can be added during blending by simply twisting the measured pour lid counterclockwise until the tabs in the pour lid align with the slots in the cover. Pull up the pour lid, add ingredients, and replace the pour lid.
• The cover should always be in place while the unit is ON.
• Warning: Do not place the blender jar on the base while the motor is running.
• Do not twist the locking ring from the blender jar when removing the blender jar from the base. Simply lift the blender jar from the motor base.
• Boiling liquid or solid frozen foods (with the exception of ice cubes or ½” pieces of frozen fruit) should never be placed in the blender jar.

BLENDER OPERATION

1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor on a flat, sturdy surface. It is important that the surface be clean and dry. Assemble the blender by following the Assembly instructions.

Replace the measured pour lid after adding ingredients. Do not place 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. Tip: Liquid ingredients can be measured in the measured pour lid, using the measurement marking. Solid ingredients can be added by simply dropping them through the fill area into the blender jar. Replace the measured pour lid after adding ingredients. Note: To remove the blender jar cover, lift the edge of the cover upward. Lifting the measured pour lid will not remove the 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.
