shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only  
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,  
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a quali  
fied electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

ASSEMBLY  
OPERATION  
To use your Cuisinart® ReMix6.0 600-Watt Blender,  
begin by assembling the blender jar.  
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® ReMix6.0  
600-Watt Blender on a flat, sturdy surface.  
It is important that the surface be clean and  
dry. Assemble the blender jar by following the  
Assembly Instructions. Once the jar is assembled  
and is in position on the motor base, plug the unit  
into an electrical outlet.  
1. Turn the blender jar (a) upside down, and place it  
flat on a sturdy surface.  
2. Position the rubber gasket (b) into the groove of the  
blade assembly.  
3. Turn the blade assembly (c) upside down, and  
place the blade end in the blender jar opening.  
2. Put all necessary ingredients into the blender jar and  
replace the cover. You may add more ingredients  
by lifting the measured pour lid and dropping  
ingredients through the fill area. Replace the

4. Twist blade assembly (c) clockwise until secure.  
measured pour lid after adding ingredients. Do not  
put hands into blender jar with blender plugged in.  
Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with  
solid ingredients. This will provide more consistent  
blending and prevent unnecessary stress on the  
motor.  
c.  
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of  
cover upward. Lifting measured pour lid will not  
remove cover.  
b.  
3. Start blending:  
a.  
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.

the red LED indicator light will illuminate. Push the  
Pulse button and the blue Pulse LED indicator light  
will blink. Push and release the desired speed but-  
ton. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration  
of each pulse. While pulsing, the blue LED indicator  
light 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.  
Boiling liquids or solid frozen foods (with the  
exception of ice cubes or ½-inch [1.3 cm] pieces of  
frozen fruit) should never be put into the blender jar.  
Do not put ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids  
into a blender jar that has come directly from a  
hot dishwasher.

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

To pause or stop blending process:  
Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting  
straight up and away. Remove blade assembly by  
turning counterclockwise.  
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.  
Remove the blade assembly. Wash in warm soapy  
water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.  
CAUTION: Handle the blade assembly carefully. It is  
SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove  
blades from assembly.  
b. To stop blending process:  
Push the On/Off button when you are finished  
with your recipe and would like to turn the  
blender off.

and rinsed and dried thoroughly. The blender jar can  
also be placed upside down in dishwasher.  
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.  
To dislodge food: Use a rubber or plastic spatula  
to help remove food lodged around the removable  
blade assembly. Do not use spatula until you have  
turned the blender off. Replace the cover and  
measured pour lid and continue blending, if nec-  
essary. Make sure spatula is not inside the blender  
jar before blending.  
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. Rinse and dry all parts  
thoroughly.  
To reset the unit: This appliance features an  
advanced resettable thermal fuse. In the event  
of an overload condition, the unit will shut down  
to protect the motor from overheating. To reset  
the appliance when this happens, unplug the unit  
and let it cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. Then,  
reduce the contents of the blender jar and/or clear  
any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the operat-  
ing directions.  
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized  
service representative.  
When finished blending: Press the On/Off button  
and unplug the blender from the electrical out-  
let. Never remove the blender jar from the motor  
base until the blender is off. Do not remove blade  
assembly 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.

DON’T:  
DOs and DON’Ts  
Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.  
WHEN USING YOUR BLENDER  
Don’t place blade assembly on motor base with-  
out the blender jar attached.  
DO:  
Don’t attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy  
dough, or beat egg whites.  
Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the  
same voltage as that stated on the bottom of the  
blender motor base.  
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.  
Don’t twist removable blade assembly from  
blender jar when removing blender jar from motor  
base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
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 blade assembly.  
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 pieces of frozen fruit) to glass  
blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for  
Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender  
with the cover on.  
Make sure removable blade assembly is tightly  
attached to blender jar.  
5 minutes before being poured into blender jar.  
Don’t run blender when jar is empty.  
Always remove blade assembly 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.  
When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest,  
bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure the  
blender jar and blade assembly are completely  
dry.  
If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender  
jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.  
Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses  
so the blades stop rotating between pulses.

Grinding Hard Cheese  
RECIPE TIPS  
Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces; remove all outer hard  
rind. Put cheese into blender jar. Pulse on Low to  
chop cheese, 10 to 12 times, then run until desired  
grind is reached. For best results, grind no more than  
3 ounces of cheese at a time.  
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 ReMix6.0 600-Watt Blender, you’ll also be able to  
make delicious frozen drinks.  
Grinding Spices  
For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly  
must be clean and dry. Put ¼ to ½ cup of spices/  
seeds/peppercorns into blender jar. Pulse on Low or  
High to break up, then run for 20 to 40 seconds.  
Chopping Nuts  
Put ½ cup shelled nuts into the blender jar and cover  
blender. Pulse on Low or High until desired chop is  
achieved. Pulse fewer times for coarsely chopped  
nuts. For best results process small amounts, ½ cup  
or less.  
Whipping Cream  
If possible, chill blender jar and cutting assembly  
in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Put 1 cup heavy or  
whipping cream into blender jar. Cover jar. Pulse  
on Low 20 to 30 times until cream is thickened. (Do  
not overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.)  
If desired, add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 to 2 tea-  
spoons of vanilla or other flavoring. Consistency with  
be that of a thickened but not fluffy whipped cream,  
and is most appropriate for topping desserts or cof-  
fee drinks.  
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). Put bread,  
cookie or cracker pieces in blender jar. Set on Low  
or High and pulse to chop, then run continuously  
until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best  
results, process 1 cup or less at a time.  
Crushing Ice  
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  
put ½ to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid into the  
blender jar along with the cooked solids. Pulse on  
Low to chop, then run on Low or High until desired  
consistency/purée is reached.  
Put up to 10 standard ice cubes into the blender  
jar. Cover. Select pre-program Ice Crush function.  
Blender will cycle through function and stop blending  
when complete.  
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. Process no more than 8 strips at a time (zest of  
1 medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Put strips and  
1 teaspoon sugar or coarse salt (from recipe) into the  
blender jar. Cover blender jar. Run on Low for 15 to  
20 seconds.  
Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to  
prevent steam buildup, which may cause the lid to lift  
up from the blender jar.  
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 mak-  
ing smoothies and frosty beverages to prevent dilut-  
ing the drink.  
Baby Food  
Combine ½-cup cooked vegetables, fruit or meat  
with 3 to 4 tablespoons liquid (water, milk, fruit juice,  
broth, or cooking liquid) in the blender jar. Run on  
Low for 15 to 20 seconds until a smooth purée is  
reached. Add more liquid as necessary and process  
further until desired texture is reached. Always con-  
sult with your pediatrician/family physician concern-  
ing the best foods for your baby and when to intro-  
duce new foods to his/her diet.  
For quick cleaning, add 1 cup of warm water and  
a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar. Cover  
and run on Low or High for 30 seconds or more as  
needed. Discard the soapy water and rinse blender  
thoroughly before the next use.

partial to pistachio. Do not skimp on ingredients –  
seek out the best quality ice cream that you can find –  
this is dessert, after all!

*Raw egg warning: Caution is suggested in  
consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the  
slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness.  
To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only  
fresh, properly refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA  
eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between  
the yolks or whites and the shell. For a lower-  
cholesterol mayonnaise, and to avoid using raw  
eggs, use cholesterol-free egg substitute for the egg
