leave your Smooth Operator® out on the counter for all to see!

ring.
Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with solid ingredients. This
will provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary stress on
the motor.
7. Plug in power cord. Your blender is now ready to be used.
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of
cover upwards. Lifting measured pour lid will not

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug your Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® Blender from the electrical
outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of corrosion-resistant parts
which are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each

SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from
locking ring.
Stopper
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured pour lid or blending stick.

down in the dishwasher, and the dispenser tap and the plug can be washed
in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Dispenser Body
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.

a small amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and fill
halfway with warm water. Run on LOW for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean

ring with cutting assembly and gasket in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry
all parts thoroughly.

DOS AND DON’TS WHEN USING
YOUR BLENDER
DON’T:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Don’t place locking ring with cutting assembly onto motor base without
the blender jar attached.
DO:
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that stated
on the bottom of the blender motor base.
•
Do not attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat egg whites.
• Don’t remove blender jar while unit is on. Keep the blender jar cover on
the blender jar while blending.
• 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 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) to 1 inch (2.5
cm) to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no
larger than 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm).
• Don't twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar from
motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
• Don’t overblend foods. Blender will achieve most desired results in
seconds, not minutes.
•
Don’t overload blender. If the motor stalls, turn the blender off immediately,
unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food, then continue.
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol.
Replace measured pour lid or blending stick after ingredients have
been added.
• Don’t use any utensil, other than the blending stick provided, inside the
blender jar while the motor is on. Note: Blending stick is to be used only
with cover in place.
• 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 or cutting assembly.
• 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 insert fingers into the
dispenser hole when blender is plugged in.
• Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or 1⁄2-inch
pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for
5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on.
• Make sure locking ring with cutting assembly is tightly attached to
blender jar.
• Always remove locking ring with cutting assembly, rubber gasket,
dispenser tap and dispenser plug before cleaning.
• When scraping the blender jar with a spatula, remove the food from the
sides of the blender jar and place food 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 com-
pletely dry.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, use
blending stick and pulse in short bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotat-
ing between pulses.
• Always use blending stick with cover in place.

LIMITED THREE-YEAR
WARRANTY
This warranty supersedes all previous warranties
on Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® Blenders. This
warranty is available to consumers only. You are
a consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Smooth
Operator® Blender that was purchased at retail
for personal, family, or household use. Except as
otherwise required under applicable state law,
this warranty is not available to retailers or other
commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant
that your Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® Blender
will be free of defects in material or workmanship
under normal home use for three years from the
date of original purchase. We suggest that you
complete and return the enclosed product regis-
tration card promptly to facilitate verification of
the date of original purchase. However, return of
the product registration card does not eliminate
the need for the consumer to maintain the origi-
nal proof of purchase in order to obtain the war-
ranty benefits. In the event that you do not
have proof of purchase date, the purchase date
for purposes of this warranty will be the date of
manufacture.
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling
of any Cuisinart® product that is being returned,
we recommend you use a traceable, insured
delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be held respon-
sible for in-transit damage or for packages that
are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged
products are not covered under warranty.
Your Cuisinart® Smooth Operator® Blender has
been manufactured to strict specifications and
has been designed for use with the Cuisinart®
Smooth Operator® Blender accessories and
replacement parts. These warranties expressly
exclude any defects or damages caused by
accessories, replacement parts, or repair service
other than those that have been authorized by
Cuisinart. These warranties do not cover any
damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment,
or other than ordinary household use. These
warranties exclude all incidental or consequential
damages. Some states do not allow the exclu-
sion of or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the foregoing limitation may not
apply to you.
California residents may also, at their preference,
return nonconforming products directly to
Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement
by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free
at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible
for the cost of the repair, replacement, and ship-
ping and handling for such nonconforming prod-
ucts under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR
CUISINART PRODUCT
If you are experiencing problems with your
Cuisinart® product, we suggest that you call our
Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190
before returning the product for servicing. Often,
our Consumer Service Representatives can help
solve the problem without having the product
serviced. If servicing is needed, a Representative
can confirm whether the product is under warran-
ty and direct you to the nearest service location.
If your blender should prove to be defective
within the warranty period, we will repair it
(or, if we think it necessary, replace it) without
charge to you. To obtain warranty service, please
call our Consumer Service Center toll-free at
1-800-726-0190 or write to:
*Important: If the nonconforming product is to be
serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s
Authorized Service Center, please remind the
servicer to call our Consumer Service Center at
1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the problem is
properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with
the correct parts, and to ensure that the product
is still under warranty.
CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty
Service, California residents have the option of
returning a nonconforming product (A) to the
store where it was purchased or (B) to another
retail store which sells Cuisinart® products of the
same type. The retail store shall then, according
to its preferences, either repair the product, refer
the consumer to an independent repair facility,
replace the product, or refund the purchase price
less the amount directly attributable to the con-
sumer’s prior usage of the product. If either of the
above two options does not result in the appro-
priate relief to the consumer, the consumer may
