Helpful Reminders  
BLENDER OPERATION  
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.  
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. Once the jar is assembled and is in position  
on the motor base, plug the Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Blender/  
Food Processor into an electrical outlet.  
Cover should always be in place while the unit is ON.  
Warning: Do not place blender jar on base while motor is running.  
2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar and replace the  
cover. You may add additional ingredients by lifting the measured  
pour lid and dropping ingredients through the fill area. Replace the  
measured pour lid after adding ingredients. Do not place hands into  
blender jar with blender plugged in.  
Do not twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar  
from base. Simply lift blender jar from 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.  
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.  
button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of each pulse.  
While pulsing, all indicator lights (the On, the Pulse, and the desired  
speed) will glow.  
The Pulse function can be used to break apart larger pieces of food  
or to control the texture of food when chopping. The 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: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upward. Lifting  
measured pour lid will not remove 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.  
8. To crush ice: Use blender jar only. The SmartPower Duet® Blender/  
Food Processor motor is strong enough to crush ice without liquid at  
any speed; however, for your convenience we have preset the best  
speed for ice crushing. To give you greater control, the Ice Crush  
function automatically operates as a Pulse function. To crush ice,  
place ice cubes in the blender jar, and place the cover and the  
measured pour lid on the blender jar. Press the On button. Press the  
Ice Crush button in short pulses until ice is crushed to desired  
consistency. See the Recipe Tips section on page 12 for more  
details.  
4. Press the desired blending speed: both the On indicator light and  
the activated speed indicator light will glow. The blender will now be  
functioning at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds  
without pressing the Off button, by simply pushing the next desired  
speed button.  
5. To reset the blender: The unit has an advanced thermal resettable  
fuse feature. If the event of an overload condition the unit will shut  
down to protect the motor from overheating. When this happens, to  
reset the unit, unplug the blender and let it cool down for a minimum  
of 15 minutes. Then look to reduce the contents and/or clear any  
jams, then restart as noted in the operating directions.  
9. To dislodge food: use a rubber or plastic spatula to help remove  
food lodged around the cutting assembly.  
DO NOT USE SPATULA UNTIL YOU HAVE TURNED OFF AND  
UNPLUGGED THE BLENDER. Replace the cover and measured  
pour lid and continue blending if necessary. Make sure spatula is not  
inside the blender jar before blending.  
6. To stop the blending process: re-press the activated speed button.  
The blending process will stop. The red On indicator light will  
continue to flash to let you know that the blender is still on and can  
be reactivated by pushing the desired speed button. The blender  
can be completely deactivated and stopped from any speed by  
pushing the Off button. You will need to press the On button again  
to continue blending.  
10. When finished blending: press the Off button, and unplug the  
blender from the electrical outlet. Never remove the blender jar from  
the motor base until pressing the Off button. Do not twist locking  
ring from blender jar when removing jar from motor base. Simply lift  
blender jar from motor base. Do not place hands into blender jar  
with blender plugged in.  
7. Pulse Mode: while the blender is turned on, you can create a burst

DO’S AND DON’TS WHEN USING  
YOUR BLENDER/FOOD  
PROCESSOR  
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.  
Do:  
Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that  
stated on the bottom of the blender motor base.  
Blender or food processor will not mash potatoes, knead dough, or  
beat egg whites.  
Always use the motor base on a clean, sturdy and dry surface.  
Don’t remove blender jar or food processor bowl while unit is on.  
Keep the blender jar or food processor cover on while blending.  
Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar first, then add  
remaining ingredients. This will ensure that ingredients are uniformly  
mixed.  
Don’t twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar  
from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.  
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".  
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.  
When using blender, use the measured pour lid to measure liquid  
ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after  
ingredients have been added.  
Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar or food processor bowl  
while the motor is on.  
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.  
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.  
Place blender cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the  
cover on.  
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.  
Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.  
After using blender, always remove locking ring, cutting assembly,  
and rubber gasket before cleaning.  
The food processor accessory is not intended to crush ice. This  
could damage the chopping blade and will damage work bowl.  
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.

outlet.  
BE SURE TO HANDLE THE METAL BLADE WITH CARE AS IT IS  
RAZOR SHARP!  
7. To remove cover, unlock it by turning it counterclockwise, then lift it  
straight up.  
4. Place food to be processed in work bowl. Put cover on work bowl,  
with feed tube at about 11 o’clock.  
FOOD PROCESSOR OPERATION  
Turn the cover clockwise until it fits into position. Cover lock must click  
into locked position prior to use. If you have trouble fitting the cover on  
the work bowl, turn chopping blade hub slightly and replace cover.  
Your SmartPower Duet® appliance comes with a Food Processor button.  
This button is the perfect speed for all your food processing tasks.  
Always use this speed when using the food processor. You may also  
use the Pulse button with this function for pulse-chopping.  
5. The food pusher fits in feed tube with the more rounded side toward  
the outside of the bowl. ALWAYS USE PUSHER TO GUIDE FOOD  
THROUGH FEED TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR  
SPATULA.  
To use your food processor, make sure that the bowl is assembled  
properly and the blade or slicing/shredding disc and the cover are  
locked into place.  
6. Plug your SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor into a wall  
outlet. Push the On button and then the Food Processor button to  
start chopping or puréeing. It is recommended that one hand be  
placed on the food processor lid while in use, to provide unit  
stability. If the machine doesn’t start, make sure it is plugged in and  
the work bowl and cover are locked into place. The food processor  
will not start until the collar, work bowl and work bowl lid are locked  
into place. Nevertheless, always unplug the unit before placing  
hands into the food processor bowl. NOTE: The motor base will  
start, but the food processor blade will not turn until assembled  
properly.  
When you use the control panel, the LED will light next to each button  
you press.  
Press the On button. For continuous operation, press the Food  
Processor button. Motor will start if you have followed assembly  
instructions.  
To turn motor off, press the Food Processor button again or the  
Off button.  
For On/Off operation, called pulse-chopping or pulsing, press the On  
button, press the Pulse button, and then press and release the Food  
Processor button the desired number of times. Motor runs as long as  
you hold the Food Processor button down. The motor stops when you

release control switch. Try it a few times.  
food is chopped as fine as you want it. Check frequently through  
clear cover or bowl to avoid chopping too fine. Use a plastic spatula  
to scrape down any pieces that stick to inside of bowl.  
You control the duration and frequency of pulses by the length of time  
you hold the Food Processor button down and the rate at which you  
press it. Allow enough time between pulses to let food in work bowl fall  
to bottom.  
Onions and other food with a high water content turn into a smooth  
purée very quickly. Do not over-chop – look at food frequently through  
work bowl.  
Always use the Food Processor button for pulse-chopping. Never turn  
cover back and forth to start and stop processor.  
To purée, follow same procedure as for chopping, but let machine run  
until food is a smooth purée.  
USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR TO CHOP, PURÉE, AND MIX  
New users are often surprised at how fast the processor works. You will  
quickly get used to its great speed.  
Refer to Food Processor Assembly instructions on page 10.  
These are some conditions that affect your results:  
1. Remove cover and put food into work bowl. First, cut food into ¾"  
pieces. You will get a more even chop if you start with pieces that  
are all the same size.  
Size of pieces you put in bowl – all should be about the same size.  
Amount of food you process – don’t add too much.  
Put pieces into work bowl with metal blade in place. You can put in  
up to 1 cup of food at a time. If you want to process more, do it in  
batches.  
Type of processing you choose – continuous or pulse-chopping.  
ADDING FOOD WHILE PROCESSING  
2. Put on cover and lock it. Insert pusher. It is recommended that one  
hand be placed on the food processor lid while in use, to provide  
unit stability. Press the On button, press the Pulse button, and the  
Food Processor button (to pulse), then release. Repeat two to three  
times. Each time blade stops, let food pieces drop to the bottom of  
bowl before pulsing again. This ensures that the blade will chop  
them at every pulse.  
To add liquid while the machine is running, pour it through open feed  
tube. This is especially useful when making mayonnaise or dressings.  
A small hole in the pusher allows you to add liquids in a very slow,  
steady stream – useful when making sauces.  
When you want to add small pieces of food like cheese, meat or garlic  
cloves while machine is running, drop them through open feed tube.  
NOTE: The unit has an advanced thermal resettable fuse feature. If the  
event of an overload condition the unit will shut down to protect the  
motor from overheating. When this happens, to reset the unit, unplug  
the blender and let it cool down for a minimum of 15 minutes.  
To prevent spills when adding sugar and other dry ingredients, use a  
funnel.  
REMOVING PROCESSED FOOD  
Before removing processed food, press Off button and wait for blade to  
stop spinning. Then remove cover by turning it counterclockwise. Never  
try to remove cover and work bowl together; this can damage work  
bowl.  
Watch what happens to the food. With pulse-chopping technique, you  
can get an even chop without danger of overprocessing. Check texture  
by looking through work bowl. Be careful not to overprocess.  
It is important not to let metal blade fall out of work bowl as you empty  
it.  
For a coarse chop, pulse only a few times.  
3. If you want a finer chop or purée, press the On button and then the  
Food Processor button and let machine run continuously until the

Here are two ways to prevent it from falling out:  
Holding work bowl collar, turn work bowl counterclockwise and lift it  
straight up to remove it from base.  
1. Before tilting bowl, use spatula to remove food from around blade.  
Carefully remove blade by the plastic hub.  
2. Hold top of blade in place with finger or spatula while pouring out  
processed food.  
RECIPE TIPS  
At this point, you may either lift the work bowl off motor base or hold  
the collar at the base and turn the handle of the bowl counterclockwise  
and lift blade straight up.  
Your SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor makes many everyday  
food preparation tasks much easier and faster. Follow these guidelines  
to get best results when using metal blade with food you prepare most  
often.  
You’ll find many easy ways to prepare savory, healthful meals with your  
Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor. The simple  
recipes that follow include some old Cuisinart favorites as well as some  
creative combinations that are sure to please your friends and family.  
Thanks to the superior ice crushing power of the SmartPower Duet®  
Blender/Food Processor, you’ll also be able to make delicious frozen  
drinks.  
NOTE: Occasionally, a piece of food may become wedged between the  
blade and the work bowl. If this happens, remove the cover, lift the  
blade out carefully and remove the wedged piece. Empty the bowl,  
reinsert the blade and lock the cover into place. Process smaller  
amounts of the food at  
Chopping Nuts  
Pulse ½ cup of nuts (shells removed) on Chop 4 to 5 times. Turn blender  
off; scrape blender jar with spatula. Turn blender on and pulse on Chop  
2 to 3 times. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times for more coarsely  
chopped results. For best results, process no more than 1 cup at a time.  
one time.  
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs  
USING THE FOOD PROCESSOR TO SLICE AND SHRED  
For best results, use day-old bread (drier bread works best). Break  
bread slices into ½" pieces, and process no more than 1 cup of pieces  
at a time on Mix for 5 to 10 seconds. Crackers and cookies should also  
be broken into ½" pieces; process 1 cup at a time on Mix for 10 to 15  
seconds. Turn blender off.  
1. Assemble clear work bowl on collar and base in the usual way.  
(See page 10.)  
2. Pick up adapter stem. Hold stem by side that has the octagon  
shape (eight sided) and push rounded side down as far as it will go  
on motor shaft.  
Crushing Ice  
(Blender jar only)  
3. Place the reversible slicing/shredding disc with the desired cutting  
edge facing up onto the adapter stem. Always handle slicing/  
shredding disc by the rim. Never touch sharp cutting blades.  
Add up to 10 large ice cubes to blender jar. Press the Ice Crush button,  
using short bursts, 10 times or until cubes are the consistency of snow.  
Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times if coarsely chopped ice is desired.  
4. Put cover on work bowl, lock it into place by twisting it clockwise  
and insert food in feed tube.  
Grating Citrus Zest  
5. Insert pusher. Use moderate pressure to push down on pusher with  
one hand while using your other hand to push the On button, Pulse  
button, and hold down the Food Processor button. Slicing and  
shredding only take a few seconds.  
For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and  
dry. Remove zest from fruit in strips (using vegetable peeler). Use no  
more than 8 strips at a time (zest of one medium lemon). Cut strips in  
half. Add strips and 1 teaspoon sugar (from recipe) to the blender jar.  
Blend on Food Processor speed for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.  
Wait until disc stops spinning before removing cover. When it stops,  
remove cover before removing work bowl. Never try to remove cover  
and work bowl together; this could damage work bowl.  
Grinding Hard Cheese  
Cut cheese into ½" pieces. Blend on Food Processor speed for 30  
seconds. Turn blender off. For best results, grind no more than 3 ounces  
of cheese at a time.  
6. Remove slicing/shredding disc before removing work bowl. To  
remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter stem and lift it straight  
up.

Grinding Spices  
For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and  
dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices, seeds or peppercorns to blender jar.  
Blend on Food Processor speed for 30 to 35 seconds. Turn blender off.  
Whipping Cream  
Whip 1 cup of cream (whipping or heavy cream) at a time. Blend on mix,  
and process for 45 to 60 seconds or until creamy and smooth. If making  
sweetened cream, add sugar after 10 seconds. Turn blender off. Makes  
about 1 cup.  
Puréeing Sun-Dried Tomatoes  
Rehydrate 1 ounce of sun-dried tomatoes in 1 cup boiling water. Allow  
to sit for 10 minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes and water to  
blender jar. Cover and pulse on Food Processor speed 5 times; then run  
continuously on Food Processor speed for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn  
blender off. Drain in fine strainer if desired. Makes about ½ cup of  
puréed tomatoes.  
CLEANING AND STORING YOUR  
SMARTPOWER® FOOD PROCESSOR  
ATTACHMENT  
Store the chopping blade and slicing/ shredding disc as you would  
sharp knives – out of the reach of children.  
The work bowl, cover, pusher, chopping blade, and slicing/shredding  
disc are top-shelf dishwasher safe. When placing parts in your  
dishwasher, insert the work bowl upside down. Remember where you  
place the sharp blade and disc, and be certain to unload the dishwasher  
carefully.  
The gearbox collar is not immersible. To clean, just wipe with a damp  
cloth. If you wash the blades and discs by hand, do it carefully. Avoid  
leaving them in soapy water where they may disappear from sight. To  
clean the metal blade, fill the work bowl with soapy water, hold the  
blade by its plastic center and move rapidly up and down on the center  
shaft of the bowl. Use of a spray hose is also effective. If necessary, use  
a brush.  
The work bowl should not be placed in a microwave oven.

General Guidelines for Preparing Foods for Slicing and Shredding  
Food  
To Prepare for Slicing  
To Prepare for Shredding  
For long shreds, cut into largest size that will fit sideways  
in feed tube. Stack in feed tube to about 1 inch from top.  
For shorter shreds, stand pieces upright in feed tube, flat  
side down (as described in slicing column).  
Cut into even lengths about 1 inch shorter than height  
of feed tube. Stand pieces upright in feed tube, flat  
side down, adding enough pieces so they cannot tilt.  
Long narrow foods like carrots, celery,  
cucumbers, and zucchini  
Apples, onions, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes  
and other large round fruits and vegetables  
Cut one end flat, then cut lengthwise in halves or  
quarters. Pack solidly in feed tube to prevent tilting.  
Same as slicing. Place in feed tube sideways for longer  
shreds, or upright for shorter shreds.  
Slice off top and bottom, leaving center section. Place  
in feed tube, flat side down.  
Fill feed tube to about 1 inch from top. Use light to  
moderate pressure.  
Strawberries, mushrooms, radishes and other  
small, round fruits and vegetables  
Radishes shred well.  
Same as slicing.  
Cut off top and bottom, leaving center section.Cut  
into wedges to fit feed tube upright. Remove core.  
Cut top and bottom pieces in similar wedges.  
Cabbage, iceberg lettuce  
Use boneless cuts. Cut into feed-tube lengths.  
Remove skin if desired. Wrap in plastic wrap and put  
in freezer until it feels hard when you try to squeeze it  
but is still easily pierced through with tip of sharp  
knife. Remove plastic wrap and stand upright in feed  
tube. Note: Chicken and beef for stir-fries should be  
sliced with the grain. Boned, skinned chicken breast  
will usually fit when frozen as described above and  
cut in half crosswise.  
Uncooked meat and poultry  
(8 oz. maximum at one time)  
Do not shred.  
Chill in freezer for 5 minutes before processing. Cut into  
pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed tube and use  
light pressure on pusher. Use 4 oz. maximum.  
Soft cheeses like mozzarella  
Do not slice  
Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed  
tube and use light pressure on pusher.  
Same as slicing. Chill 5 minutes in freezer before  
processing. Use 4 oz. maximum.  
Medium-hard cheeses like Cheddar and Swiss  
Hard cheeses like Parmesan  
Do not slice.  
Do not shred.

This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some states do  
not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so these exclusions 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® SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor that was purchased at  
retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise required under  
applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial  
purchasers or owners.  
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.  
We warrant that your Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor will  
be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3  
years from the date of original purchase.  
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.  
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed product registration 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 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.  
If your Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor should prove to be  
defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary,  
replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free number 1-800-726-  
0190 for additional information from our Customer Service Representatives, or  
send the defective product to Customer Service at Cuisinart, 150 Milford Road,  
East Windsor, NJ 08520.  
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 shipping  
and handling for such products under warranty.  
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART® PRODUCT  
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please enclose $10.00 for  
shipping and handling of the product.  
If you are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart® product, we suggest that  
you call our Cuisinart® Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 before returning the  
product to be serviced. If servicing is needed, a Representative can confirm  
whether the product is under warranty and direct you to the nearest service  
location.  
Please pay by check or money order (California residents need only supply proof  
of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions).  
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 responsible for in-transit damage or for packages that  
are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are not covered under  
warranty. Please be sure to include your return address, daytime phone number,  
description of the product defect, product model number (located on bottom of  
product), original date of purchase, and any other information pertinent to the  
product’s return.  
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 the  
product is still under warranty.  
Your Cuisinart® SmartPower Duet® Blender/Food Processor has been  
manufactured to the strictest specifications and has been designed for use with  
the authorized accessories and replacement parts.  
This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by  
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.
