Note: When you push the On/Off button to power the blender off, the timer  
will stop counting and the LCD display will be off. When the blender is  
turned back on and a speed button is pushed, the timer will begin to count  
from 0:00.  
OPERATION  
®
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart PowerEdge 1000-Watt Blender  
on a flat, sturdy 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  
6. TIMING YOUR RECIPES: The PowerEdge 1000-Watt Blender features  
®
a 4-minute Count-Up Timer so that you can time your recipes and

guarantee perfect results. The timer begins counting from 0:00 as soon  
as you push your desired function. The timer will continue to count up  
even if you change speeds during blending. You can pause the timer  
by pausing the blending process. Do this by pushing the button corre-  
sponding to the function at which you are currently blending.  
For example: If you are blending on Low and you push the Low func-  
tion button, the blender will stop blending and the timer will stop  
counting, but the unit will remain on. To continue blending and timing  
your recipe, push the function chosen (Low) again. The timer will also  
stop counting when it reaches 4:00 minutes, and an audible chime will  
sound. The blender will go into Standby mode when the timed cycle is  
finished. The timer will reset itself when the On/Off button is pushed, a  
pre-programmed function is engaged or you change functions.  
2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar and replace the cover.  
Make sure that the “pour” marking in the cover is aligned with the pour  
spout. This will ensure smoother lifting of the lid. 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 in blender jar with blender plugged in.  
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover marked “lift” upward.  
Lifting measured pour lid will not remove cover.  
3. START BLENDING: Press the On/Off button. The red LED indicator light  
will illuminate and flash, indicating that the blender is turned on but no  
speed has been selected. This is Standby mode.  
7. PRE-PROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS: Pulse, Smoothie and Ice Crush are  
programmed based on extensive testing in our kitchen and engineering  
lab. As part of their programming, the blender will pause between  
bursts and cycles. This is normal and by design. Programs run for  
20 to 60 seconds.  
4. CHOOSE BLENDING SPEED: Press desired function to determine the  
speed at which you would like to blend the ingredients. The indicator  
light for the activated speed will glow. The blender will now be function-  
ing at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing  
the On/Off button by simply pushing another speed button.  
a) Auto Pulse Mode: The pre-programmed Pulse mode creates a  
burst of power for quick, efficient blending. To use the Auto Pulse,  
from the Standby (On/Off) mode, push Pulse and the red LED  
indicator will flash. Then choose High or Low for auto-pulsing for  
up to 4 minutes. The pre-programmed sequences of short bursts  
with two- second intervals will commence. The Auto Pulse func-  
tion can be used to break apart larger pieces of food or to control  
the texture of food when chopping. The Auto Pulse function is  
also effective in starting the blending process when you do not  
want continuous power, or when processing items that do not  
require an extended amount of blending.  
Note: The Count Up Timer will begin counting when the desired speed  
button is pushed. When you switch into a pre-programmed speed, the  
timer will reset to support the new command.  
5. TO PAUSE OR STOP BLENDING PROCESS  
a) To Pause Blending Process: Push the button corresponding to  
the speed at which you are currently blending. For example: If you  
are blending on High speed, push the High speed button and the  
blender will stop blending but the unit will remain on.  
b) Smoothie: start by powering the unit on and pressing Smoothie.  
The LED backlight will illuminate and a 30-second count-up pro-  
gram will begin. Not smooth enough for your liking? After the cycle  
stops, the blender will go into Standby mode. To reactivate press  
the Smoothie button again to start a new cycle. An audible chime  
will sound at the end of the cycle. You may stop the program at  
any time by pressing the Smoothie button again or by powering  
the unit off.  
Note: By pausing the blending process, you will also pause the timer.  
The timer will pause until you start blending again. Changing functions  
will reset the timer.  
b) To Stop the Blending Process: Push the On/Off button when you  
are finished with your recipe and would like to turn the blender off.  
Pausing will stop the blender but NOT turn it off.

c)  
Ice Crush: From the Standby mode, press Ice Crush. A pre-pro-  
grammed cycle will begin. It is designed to run for approximately  
25 seconds and will automatically stop at that point and an  
audible chime will sound. The blender will go back into Standby  
mode. To start another cycle, power the unit Off, power On and  
press Ice Crush again. To interrupt the program, press Ice Crush  
and the unit will pause, reverting to Standby. To continue, press  
Ice Crush again. To stop the cycle, move to another setting or  
press On/Off. Note: Moving from Ice Crush to Standby and then  
holding down the Ice Crush button momentarily will allow you to  
operate at a continuous speed automatically for one minute.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
®
Always unplug your Cuisinart PowerEdge 1000-Watt Blender  
from the electrical outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of  
corrosion-resistant parts that are easy to clean. Before first use and  
after every use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts  
before reassembly. If any part is damaged or blender jar is chipped or  
cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER.  
Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting straight up and away.  
Invert the jar. Twist off the locking ring by turning counterclockwise. If too  
tight, put the unit on the base and twist accordingly (see Helpful Reminders,  
page 5).  
Interrupting any pre-programmed function – Pulse, Smoothie, or  
Ice Crush – will reset the program.  
Remove the cutting assembly and rubber gasket. Wash in warm soapy  
water; rinse and dry thoroughly.  
8.  
TO DISLODGE FOOD: Use a rubber or plastic spatula to help remove  
Place the blade assembly in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in  
warm water.  
food lodged around the cutting assembly. DO NOT USE SPATULA UNTIL  
YOU HAVE TURNED THE BLENDER OFF. Replace the cover and  
measured pour lid and continue blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula  
is not inside the blender jar before blending.  
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is SHARP and may  
cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.  
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured pour lid. Wash in warm,  
soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly, or place in upper rack of dishwasher.  
The blender jar must be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed and dried  
thoroughly. The blender jar can also be placed upside down in dishwasher.  
9.  
WHEN FINISHED BLENDING: Press the On/Off button and unplug  
the blender from the electrical outlet. Never remove the blender jar  
from the motor base until the blender is off. Do not twist locking  
ring from blender jar when removing jar from motor base. Simply lift  
blender jar from motor base. Do not put hands into blender jar with  
blender plugged in.  
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.  
10. In the event the blender loses power and shuts off, simply unplug the  
unit and then plug it back in. Press On/Off to power the unit on. If the  
unit has overheated, let it cool down (10 minutes) before powering on.  
Tip: You may wish to clean your blender blade assembly as follows:  
Squirt 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 tap water. Empty blender jar and carefully disassemble parts.  
DOs and DON’Ts WHEN USING YOUR BLENDER  
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 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 ½ inch (1.3 cm) to  
1 inch (2.5 cm) to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses  
into pieces no larger than ½ inch (1.3 cm).

frozen drinks effortlessly.  
Chopping Nuts: Place shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover blender.  
Use pre-programmed Pulse on High until desired chop is achieved. Pulse  
fewer times for coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process small  
amounts, ½ cup or less.  
• Always remove blade 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 food in the center of the blender jar,  
over the blade assembly.  
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: Break or cut bread, cookies or  
crackers into pieces ½ inch or less in size. For best bread results, use  
day-old bread (drier bread works best). Place bread, cookie or cracker  
pieces in blender jar. Use Pulse on High to chop, then blend continuously  
on Low until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best results,  
process 1 cup or less at a time.  
When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs, 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 when blending, scrape  
down the sides of the blender jar with a spatula and then use the Auto  
Pulse to blend.  
Crushing Ice: Add up to 8 standard ice cubes to the blender jar.  
Cover. Press the pre-programmed Ice Crush button. Timer will sound;  
turn blender off.  
Don’t:  
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and blade  
assembly must be clean and dry. Remove zest from fruit in strips using a  
vegetable peeler; use a sharp knife to remove the bitter white pith from the  
underside of the zest. Process no more than 8 strips at a time (zest of 1  
medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Add strips and 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar  
or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on High;  
blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.  
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.  
• Don’t place blade assembly onto motor base without the blender jar  
attached.  
• Don’t 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.  
Baby Food: Combine no more than 1 pound of cooked vegetables or  
fruit with ½ cup liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking liquid) in  
the blender jar. Cover. Set on High. Blend until smooth. Add more liquid  
as necessary and process further until desired texture is reached. Always  
consult with your pediatrician/family physician concerning the best foods for  
your baby and when to introduce new foods to his/her diet.  
• 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 will achieve most desired results in  
seconds, not minutes.  
• Don’t overload blender. If the motor stalls, turn the blender off immedi-  
ately, unplug the unit and remove a portion of the food, then continue.  
Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces; remove the outer  
hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar and cover blender. Pulse to chop  
cheese, then blend on High until desired grind is reached. For best results,  
grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.  
• Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar while the motor is on.  
• Don’t use any container or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart.  
Doing so may result in injury.  
Grinding Spices: For best results, blender jar and blade assembly must  
be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices/seeds/peppercorns to blender  
jar. Cover. Pulse on High to break up, then blend on High until desired  
consistency is achieved.  
• Don’t put hands inside the blender jar when blender is plugged in.  
• Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or ½-inch to  
1-inch pieces of frozen fruit) to blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool  
for 5 minutes before being poured into blender jar.  
Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and blade assembly in  
refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to blender  
jar. Cover jar. Set on High and blend until cream is thickened. (Do not  
overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.) If desired, add 1 tablespoon of  
8
10ce114304_cbt1000_ib.indd  
8
8/5/10 3:48:59 PM  
sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla or other flavoring. Consistency will be  
that of a thickened, but not fluffy, whipped cream and is most appropriate  
for topping desserts or coffee drinks.  
When using the blender to purée hot mixtures such as creamed soups  
and baby foods, strain the solids from the liquid, reserving the cooking  
liquid. Then place ½ to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid in the blender  
jar along with the cooked solids. Blend on Low first and then High, until  
desired consistency/purée is reached.  
Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to prevent steam buildup,  
which may cause the lid to lift up from the blender jar.  
Many recipes have large yields, but they can easily be halved if you desire a  
smaller amount.  
Keep your blender out on the counter within easy reach and you will be  
surprised how often you will use it.  
Keep ice cubes made of juices, yogurt, milk or fruit purées on hand to  
substitute for plain ice when making smoothies and frosty beverages to  
prevent diluting the drink.

across the pan, add the onion and sauté until softened, about 3  
minutes. Add the spinach a handful at a time, salt and pepper, and  
sauté until bright and wilted, about 9 minutes total. Reserve filling.

Bananas Foster Pancakes  
®
Take the famous dessert and turn it into breakfast. Your Cuisinart  
PowerEdge 1000 Watt Blender makes this recipe a quick treat in  
the morning.  
Prepare the crêpes: Place a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium  
heat and preheat for 5 minutes. Once the pan is heated, add the  
butter. Once melted, wipe the butter around the pan with a paper  
towel. Add a scant ¼ cup of batter to the preheated pan. Working  
very quickly, move the batter around so it just coats the bottom.  
You want the pan to be coated thinly and evenly. After about 1  
minute, when the crêpe is set and lightly browned, flip the crêpe  
using a heatproof spatula and cook for an additional minute.  
Reserve on a plate. Continue with the remaining batter, stacking  
the crêpes as you go.

tablespoon of goat cheese. Fold each crêpe in half and lay one  
partially on top of the other. Place the two crêpes on each plate  
and top with a reheated poached egg.  
Put the banana, tablespoon of butter and ¼ cup of the brown  
sugar in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat. Once the  
mixture begins to simmer, carefully add the rum. Let mixture  
reduce, about 5 minutes, and then remove from heat; reserve.

accessories, replacement parts, or repair service other than those that  
have been authorized by Cuisinart.  
This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse,  
shipment or other ordinary household use.

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 that sells Cuisinart  
products of the same type.  
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, 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 the above  
two options do 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. Cuisinart and not  
the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such  
service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products  
under warranty.  
California residents may also, according to 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
