7. To crush ice: the Supreme Super 600TM Blender 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 and Hints for more details.  
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upwards. 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.  
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.  
8. 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 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.  
9. 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 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 place hands into blender  
jar with blender plugged in.  
5. 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 at any speed  
by pushing the “Off” button. You will need to press the “On” button  
again to continue blending.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Always unplug your Cuisinart® Supreme Super 600Blender 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 part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before  
reassembly. If any part is damaged or blender jar is chipped or  
cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER.  
6. Pulse mode: while the blender is turned on, you can create a burst  
of power for quick, efficient blending, by activating the pulse  
function. To do so, first push the “Pulse” button, which will cause  
the pulse indicator light to flash. Next, push and release the desired  
speed 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 which do not require an extended amount  
of blending.  
Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting straight up and  
away. Twist off the locking ring by turning counterclockwise. Remove  
the cutting assembly and rubber gasket. Wash in warm soapy water,  
rinse, and dry thoroughly.  
Place the locking ring in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in  
warm water.  
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is SHARP and may  
cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.  
6
 
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.  
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 food in the center of the  
blender jar, over the cutting assembly.  
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.  
When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs,  
nuts, spices, etc, make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly  
are completely dry.  
Tip: You may wish to clean your blender cutting assembly as follows:  
Squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar  
and fill halfway with warm water. Select Mix and run for 30 seconds, or  
as needed. Repeat, using clean tap water. Empty blender jar and  
carefully disassemble parts. Wash cutting assembly, gasket and  
locking ring in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.  
Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop  
rotating between pulses. If food tends to stick to the sides of the  
blender jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.  
DON’T:  
Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.  
Don’t place cutting assembly and locking ring onto motor base  
without the blender jar attached.  
DOs AND DON’Ts WHEN USING  
YOUR BLENDER  
Don’t attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat  
egg whites.  
DO:  
Don’t remove blender jar while unit is on. Keep the blender jar  
cover on the blender jar while blending.  
Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that  
stated on the bottom of the blender motor base.  
Don’t twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar  
from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from 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.  
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  
immediately, unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food,  
then continue.  
Cut most foods into approximately ½-inch (1.3 cm) to 1-inch  
(2.5 cm) cubes to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses  
into pieces no larger than ½-inch (1.3 cm).  
Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar while the motor is on.  
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 container or accessories not recommended by  
Cuisinart. Doing so may result in injury.  
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 place hands inside the blender jar when blender is  
plugged in.  
Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or  
½-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 is tightly attached to blender jar.

BLENDING TIPS & HINTS  
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 Cuisinart®  
Supreme Super 600Blender, you’ll also be able to make delicious  
frozen drinks.  
GENERAL USAGE TIPS  
• Assemble the blender completely before beginning any blending task,  
taking care that the gasket has been inserted to prevent leakage.  
Chopping Nuts: Place ½ cup shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover  
blender. Select Chop and pulse until desired chop is achieved. Pulse  
fewer times for coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process small  
amounts, ½ cup or less.  
• Always take care to place lid firmly on blender container before blending.  
• Always turn blender off and allow blades to stop completely before  
removing the lid or lifting container from blender.  
• For “frozen” drinks, chill all ingredients before blending. This includes  
liquor, which may even be kept in the freezer if space allows.  
• Keep frozen fruit (whole berries, slices, chunks or pieces of other fruits)  
on hand to be able to replace ice to make “frozen,” “slushy,” or  
“smoothie” type drinks at any time. Using frozen fruit keeps the drink  
from tasting watered down.  
• Additional ice cubes or pieces of frozen fruit can be added through the  
feeder hole in the lid of the blender while the blender is running.  
• For best results, cut foods into similar sized pieces, ½–¾ inches  
in size.  
• If foods do not seem to be blending smoothly, use the pulse to chop,  
then blend continuously.  
• Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending.  
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. Select Purée and pulse to chop, then blend continu-  
ously until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best results process  
1 cup or less at a time.  
Crushing Ice: Add up to 10 standard ice cubes to the blender jar. Cover.  
Press the Ice Crush button, using short bursts, 10 times, or until cubes  
are the consistency of snow. Press STOP button. Pulse fewer times if  
coarsely chopped ice is desired.  
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and cutting  
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. Cut strips in half. Process no more than 8 strips  
at a time (zest of 1 medium lemon). Add strips and 1 or more teaspoons of  
sugar or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar.  
Select Purée; blend for 15–20 seconds. Press STOP button.  
• When using the Cuisinart® Supreme Super 600Blender to purée hot  
mixtures such as creamed soups and baby foods, strain the solids from  
the liquid, reserving the cooking liquid. Then place the cooked solids in  
the blender jar along with ½ to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Use  
the Pulse to chop, then blend until desired consistency/purée is  
Baby Food: Combine ½ cup cooked unseasoned or lightly seasoned  
vegetables, fruit or meat from the family meal with 3–4 tablespoons liquid  
(water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking liquid) in the blender jar. Select  
Liquefy. Blend for 15–20 seconds until a smooth purée is reached. Add  
more liquid as necessary and process further until desired texture is  
reached. For “junior” type foods, select Purée and use the pulse. Always  
consult with your pediatrician/family physician concerning the best foods  
for your baby and when to introduce new foods to his/her diet.  
reached. Blending hot mixtures is often better done in several batches.  
• When blending hot foods/liquids, leave the feeder cap off or ajar to  
allow steam to be released to prevent the lid from popping up/off.  
Cover the lid with a clean dish towel and hold down to prevent it from  
lifting up.  
• When blending hot foods/liquids, make certain there is sufficient room  
for expansion during blending.  
• The blender is a perfect tool for creating baby foods and purées for  
special needs diets.  
• A quick way to clean the blender is to let it clean itself. Add about 2  
cups of warm water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar.  
Run the blender for about 30 seconds, until it is clean. Rinse thoroughly  
with warm water to remove all soap and allow to air dry.  
Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces; remove all outer  
hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar. Select Chop or Mix.  
Pulse to chop cheese, 10–12 times, and blend until desired grind is  
reached. For best results, grind no more than 3–4 ounces of cheese at  
a time.  
Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and cutting assembly in  
refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to  
blender jar. Cover jar. Select Stir (1-second pulses) 20–30 times until  
cream is thickened. (Do not overprocess – bits of butter will begin to  
• Xanthan gum may be added to dressings and marinades to prevent

To roast garlic - place peeled garlic cloves in a double thickness of  
aluminum foil, toss with a tablespoon of olive oil and fold the foil to seal.  
Place in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until tender and  
browned. Roasted garlic will keep in a tightly covered container in the  
refrigerator for about a week.

Welsh Rarebit  
Place in the preheated 325°F oven for 60 to 75 minutes, until puffed,  
browned and custard is set. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.  
Also known as “Welsh Rabbit,” this cheese sauce is traditionally  
served over toast points or toasted English muffin halves. A slice of  
tomato can be placed on the toast first for “high tea” and it can also  
be put under the broiler for a few moments. We have also found that  
this recipe is delicious served over steamed broccoli or cauliflower, a  
baked potato, or it could be tossed with cooked pasta shapes to  
make a macaroni and cheese dish.

over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking spray. Tilt the pan and  
pour in just enough batter to cover the entire surface of the skillet (about  
2 to 4 tablespoons). Cook until the edges just start to brown, then turn  
the crêpe over and cook on the other side for about 30 seconds. Crêpes  
can be made and stacked with a sheet of waxed paper or plastic wrap  
between each one. Wrap stack in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1  
week until ready to use.
