BLENDER ASSEMBLY, USE AND CARE
To use your Cuisinart
®
SmartPower Duet
®
Blender/Food Processor, begin by
assembling the blender jar.
1. Turn the blender jar (a) upside down, and place it flat on a sturdy surface.
2. Position the rubber gasket (b) on the round opening on the bottom of the blender
jar.
3. Turn the cutting assembly (c) upside down, and place the blade end in the blender
jar opening. Note: Blades are very sharp, handle carefully.
4. Secure the rubber gasket and cutting assembly in position by placing the smaller
opening of the locking ring (d) on top of the cutting assembly. Engage threads by
twisting the locking ring clockwise until tightened. Make sure locking ring is tightly
fastened to blender jar. Once assembled, turn the blender jar right side up.
5. Push the cover onto the top of the blender jar. Insert the measured pour lid into
the cover, aligning the tabs in the pour lid with the slots in the cover. Twist
clockwise to lock pour lid into the cover.
6. Place the blender jar on the motor base so that the jar markings are facing you
and the handle is positioned to one side.
7. Plug in power cord. Your blender is now ready to be used.
Helpful Reminders
• 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.
• Cover should always be in place while the unit is ON.
• Warning: Do not place blender jar on base while motor is running.
• 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.
• Do not place ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids in a blender jar that has come
directly from a hot dishwasher.
• Do not place very hot liquids or foods in a blender jar that has come directly from
the freezer. Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in
