10. SOUP. The SOUP preset runs for 6 minutes, ideal
for processing and heating ingredients. Be sure
not to exceed the MAX FILL LINE when adding
ingredients.
11. CLEAN. The CLEAN feature is a 30-second pre-
set that automatically cleans your blender jar after
each use. Simply add a few drops of dishwashing
detergent to the jar with one cup of warm water.
Put on the lid, press the CLEAN control, then
press START/STOP. The preprogrammed cycle
runs from low to high, and time counts down in
the LCD. Some tasks, such as nut butters, may
require additional cycles to clean. Rinse the jar
thoroughly when done.
12. PAUSE. While blending in any preset function,
press the active button to pause blending. Press
the button a second time to reactivate the func

tion.
HELPFUL REMINDERS
• Lid should always be secure while the unit is in
operation.
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry
surface.
• Secure the measuring cap insert in the lid by
twisting it clockwise.
• Once the lid is in position, additional ingredients
can be added during blending by simply removing
the measuring cap insert, adding ingredients, and
replacing it, turning it to secure.
• Do not place blender jar on base while motor is
running or remove blender jar before the blender
has stopped running.
• Cut all foods into 1-inch pieces to achieve uniform
results.
• Do not attempt to blend boiling liquids or solid fro
-
zen foods (except for ice cubes or frozen fruits cut
to 1-cubic inch or smaller).
• When blending, place liquid ingredients into the jar
first, followed by the softest ingredients. Ice or
frozen fruit should be placed in the jar last.
• Use a 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.
• When the blender has been running for 3 minutes,
it will automatically shut off unless it is in SOUP
mode, which operates for 6 minutes.
• Milling hard ingredients and spices may cause
some clouding to appear on the inside of the
blender jar, but will not affect blender performance.
• Use Turbo Boost function for maximum power to
break up hard ingredients.
• Do not exceed the MAX FILL LINE when adding
food or liquid to the blending jar.
• Make sure the blender jar is completely dry when
chopping ice, fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread
-
crumbs or nuts and spices.
• Do not store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Be careful not to overprocess foods.
• Do not use any utensil inside the blender jar with
the motor on.
• Unplug blender before reaching into the blender jar.
• Never use carbonated liquids in a blender jar. Using
carbonated liquids in the blender may result in
injury.
RECIPE TIPS
• Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to
prevent steam buildup, which may cause the lid to
lift up from the blender jar.
• When making pureed soup or sauce without using
the soup funciton. Then place ½ to 1 cup of the
reserved cooking liquid in the blender jar along with
the cooked solids. Start blending on Speed 1 and
gradually increase speed until desired consistency/
purée is reached.
• Keep ice cubes made of juices, milk or fruit purées
on hand to substitute for plain ice when making
smoothies and frosty beverages to prevent diluting
your drink.
• Freeze overripe bananas, which make a delicious
addition to your smoothie or shake. Simply peel, cut
into pieces and wrap in wax paper for freezer stor
-
age until ready to use.
• Use the timer when there are items you don’t want
to overblend, like heavy cream to make whipped
cream or egg whites to fold into foods or make
meringues.
• The Cuisinart
®
Hurricane
™
Pro can also make fro-
zen treats. Put 1 cup liquid, like rice milk, almond
milk or soy milk, and 1 pound frozen fruit chunks in
the blender jar. Select Speed 10 and press START.
Blend until combined, gradually decreasing the
speed once the big chunks are broken up and the
mixture no longer turns over in the blender jar.
• When blending thick items like hummus, it is normal
for an air bubble to form in the center, preventing
the mixture from blending. When this happens, sim
-
ply lower the speed to “pop” the bubble and allow
the ingredients to fall in and start blending again.
Adding more liquid, like water or oil, also helps.
