COOKING AND BLENDING
the Assembly instructions (page 4). Once the jar is
assembled and is in position on the motor base,
plug the blender into an electrical outlet.
1. Place the motor base of your blender on a flat, stur-
dy surface. It is important that the surface be clean
and dry. Assemble the blender by following the
Assembly instructions (page 4). Once the jar is
assembled and is in position on the motor base,
plug the blender into an electrical outlet.
2. Press the On/Off button. The blender is now in
Standby mode.
3. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar and
replace the cover. You may add more ingredients by
lifting the measuring cup and dropping ingredients
through the lid opening. Replace the measuring cup
after adding ingredients. Do not put hands into
blender jar with blender plugged in.
2. Press the On/Off button. The blender is now in
Standby mode.
3. Select the required time per the recipe. This can
be adjusted throughout the cooking process, but
a time must be selected to start the heater initially.
4. Add ingredients according to the recipe. You may
add more ingredients by lifting the measuring cup
from the lid and dropping ingredients through the
lid opening. When making soup, fill the contents
of the glass jar only to the 48-oz. level marked HOT.
Always replace the measuring cup after adding
ingredients. See Recipe Tips and Hints for cooking
soups (recipe book, page 2).
NOTE: Add liquid ingredients first then follow with
solid ingredients. This will provide more consistent
blending and prevent unnecessary stress on the
motor.
4. To remove blender jar lid, lift the edge of lid upwards.
Lifting from measuring cup will not remove lid.
5. Turn the Blending control dial to your desired speed
or use the Pulse function. Turn the Blending control
dial to Stop when the desired consistency is
reached.
CAUTION: Do not put hands into blender jar with
blender plugged in.
6. The Stir function can be used as well for gentle
blending.
NOTE: Do not use anything other than the measur-
ing cup to cover or close lid opening. This prevents
obstruction to necessary steam vents.
CAUTION: When blending hot liquids ensure vents
in lid opening are clear and intended pour spouts
are closed (lid is secured).
NOTE: To dislodge food, do not use a spatula
until you have turned the blender off, use a plastic
or wooden spatula to help remove food lodged
around the cutting assembly. Replace the lid and
measuring cup and continue blending, if necessary.
Make sure the spatula is not inside the blender jar
before blending.
5. To remove blender jar lid, lift edge of cover upwards.
Lifting from measuring cup will not remove lid.
CAUTION: Be careful of hot steam when removing lid.
6. To stir ingredients while cooking, use the Stir button.
7. When cooking time has finished, the blender will
beep 4 times.
7. Unplug the blender from the electrical outlet. Never
remove the blender jar from the motor base until the
blender is off. Do not twist the blender collar from
the blender jar when removing jar from motor base.
8. To blend soup always start on speed 1, gradually
increasing to speed 2 or 3. Use only these recom-
mended speeds when blending hot items. Turn the
Blending control dial to stop when the desired con-
sistency is reached.
9. Unplug the blender from the electrical outlet. Never
remove the blender jar from the motor base until the
blender is off. Do not twist the blender collar from
the blender jar when removing jar from motor base.

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 exclusion of or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.
WARRANTY
LIMITED THREE-YEAR
WARRANTY
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a
consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Blend and Cook
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
Soupmaker 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® Blend and Cook Soupmaker will be free of
defects in material or workmanship under normal home use
for three years from the date of original purchase.
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 that 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 consumer’s prior usage of the
product. If either of the above two options does not result
in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer
may then take the product to an independent repair facility
if service or repair can be economically accomplished.
We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.
com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product
registration. However, product registration does not eliminate
the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of
purchase in order to obtain the warranty 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.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for
the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement,
or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
If your blender should prove to be defective within the
warranty period, we will repair it or, if we think it necessary,
replace it. To obtain warranty service, please call our
