DO’s AND DON’Ts WHEN USING YOUR
BLENDER/FOOD PROCESSOR
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 motor base 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.
• When using either appliance, cut most foods into cubes approximately ½" to 1" to
achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no larger than ½".
• When using blender, use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such
as alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after ingredients have been added.
• When using either appliance, use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only when
the blender is turned OFF. Never use metal utensils, as damage may occur to the
blender jar/work bowl or cutting assembly.
• Place blender cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on.
• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.
• After using blender, always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and rubber
gasket before cleaning.
• When scraping the blender jar with a spatula, remove the food from the sides of
the blender jar and place it in the center of the blender jar, over the cutting
assembly.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc.,
make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are completely dry.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar or food processor work bowl
during use, pulse in short bursts.
• When using food processor, pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so
the blades stop rotating between pulses.
Don’t:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar or food processor work bowl.
• When using blender, don’t place cutting assembly and locking ring onto motor
base without the blender jar attached.
• Blender or food processor will not mash potatoes, knead dough, or beat egg
whites.
• Don’t remove blender jar or food processor bowl while unit is on. Keep the
blender jar or food processor cover on while blending.
• Don’t twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar from motor
base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
• Don’t overprocess foods. Blender or food processor will achieve most desired
results in seconds, not minutes.
• Don’t overload blender or food processor. If the motor stalls, turn off immediately,
unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food; then continue.
• Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar or food processor bowl while the motor
is on.
• Don’t use any container or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart. Doing so
may result in injury.
• Don’t place hands inside the blender jar or food processor bowl when blender is
plugged in.
• Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or ½" pieces of frozen
fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being
placed in blender jar.
• The food processor accessory is not intended to crush ice. This could damage the
chopping blade and will damage work bowl.
