CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug your Cuisinart
®
SmartPower Portable Compact Blender from the electrical
outlet before cleaning. The base and parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials that
are easy to clean. Before first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
Periodically check all parts before reassembly. DO NOT USE if any part is damaged, or if
the jar or cups are chipped or cracked.
To remove blade assemblies, twist off by turning counterclockwise.
NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF.
CAUTION: Handle the blade assemblies carefully. They are SHARP and may cause
injury. DO NOT attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.
Wash all parts in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. All parts are top rack
dishwasher safe.
Tip: You may wish to clean your blending and chopper cutting assemblies as follows:
squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into blender jar or cups and fill halfway with
warm water. Attach blade assembly. Run on Low for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap
water. Carefully disassemble parts and empty blender jar or cups. Rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly.
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 liquids, or place in a
dishwasher.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
Problem: Solution:
My blender is not turning
on or going into Standby
mode?
Be sure the blade assembly is on the jar or cup correctly.

consistency is desired, pulse in
1 tablespoon of cooking liquid at a time to the purée.
3. Allow mixture to cool. Fill ice cube trays or other 30ml containers to freeze or serve
immediately. Baby food should be consumed within 2 to 3 days if not freezing.
