OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart
®
PowerEdge
®
1.3 HP Blender on
a flat, sturdy surface. It is important that the surface be clean and dry.
Assemble the blender by following the Assembly instructions (page 4).
Once the jar is assembled and is in position on the motor base, plug the
Cuisinart
®
PowerEdge
®
1.3 HP Blender into an electrical outlet.
2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar and replace the cover.
Make sure that the “pour” marking in the cover is aligned with the pour
spout. This will ensure smoother lifting of the lid. You may add more
ingredients by lifting the measured pour lid and dropping ingredients
through the fill area. Replace the measured pour lid after adding
ingredients. Do not put hands in blender jar with blender plugged in.
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover marked “lift” upward.
Lifting measured pour lid will not remove cover.
3. START BLENDING: 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. This is Standby mode.
4. CHOOSE BLENDING SPEED: Press desired function to determine the
speed at which you would like to blend the ingredients. The indicator
light for the activated speed will glow. The blender will now be function-
ing at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing
the On/Off button by simply pushing another speed button.
Note: The Count Up
™
Timer will begin counting when the desired speed
button is pushed. When you switch into a pre-programmed speed, the
timer will reset to support the new command.
Note: At the end of the designated cycle, High or Low, the unit will go
into standby mode. To activate, press High or Low again to start a new
cycle.
5. TO PAUSE OR STOP BLENDING PROCESS
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.
Note: By pausing the blending process, you will also pause the timer.
The timer will pause until you start blending again. Changing functions
will reset the timer.
b) To Stop the Blending Process: Push the On/Off button when you are
finished with your recipe and would like to turn the blender off. Pausing
will stop the blender but NOT turn it off.
Note: When you push the On/Off button to power the blender off, the timer
will stop counting and the LCD display will be off. When the blender is
turned back on and a speed button is pushed, the timer will begin to count
from 0:00.
6. 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 or work bowl and/or clear
any jams. Restart the unit as noted in the operating directions.
7. TIMING YOUR RECIPES: The PowerEdge
®
1.3 HP Blender features a
4-minute Count-Up
™
Timer so that you can time your recipes and guar-
antee perfect results. The timer begins counting from 0:00 as soon as
you push your desired function. The timer will continue to count up even
if you change speeds during blending. You can pause the timer by paus-
ing the blending process. Do this by pushing the button corresponding to
the function at which you are currently blending.
For example: If you are blending on Low and you push the Low function
button, the blender will stop blending and the timer will stop counting,
but the unit will remain on. To continue blending and timing your recipe,
push the function chosen (Low) again. The timer will also stop count-
ing when it reaches 4:00 minutes, and an audible chime will sound. The
blender will go into Standby mode when the timed cycle is finished.
The timer will reset itself when the On/Off button is pushed, a pre-pro-
grammed function is engaged or you change functions.
8. PRE-PROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS: Pulse, Smoothie and Ice Crush are
programmed based on extensive testing in our kitchen and engineering
lab. As part of their programming, the blender will pause between
bursts and cycles. This is normal and by design. Programs run for
20 to 60 seconds.
a) Auto Pulse Mode: The pre-programmed Pulse mode creates a
burst of power for quick, efficient blending. To use the Auto Pulse,
from the Standby (On/Off) mode, push Pulse and the red LED
indicator will flash. Then choose High or Low for auto-pulsing for
up to 2 minutes. The pre-programmed sequences of short bursts
with two- second intervals will commence. The Auto Pulse func-
tion can be used to break apart larger pieces of food or to control
the texture of food when chopping. The Auto Pulse function is
also effective in starting the blending process when you do not
7
want continuous power, or when processing items that do not
require an extended amount of blending.
b) Smoothie: start by powering the unit on and pressing Smoothie.
The LED backlight will illuminate and a in under 1 minute count-up
program will begin. Not smooth enough for your liking? After the
cycle stops, the blender will go into Standby mode. To activate
press the Smoothie button again to start a new cycle. An audible
chime will sound at the end of the cycle. You may stop the pro-
gram at any time by pressing the Smoothie button again or by
powering the unit off.
c) Ice Crush: From the Standby mode, press Ice Crush. A pre-pro-
grammed cycle will begin. It is designed to run for approximately
35 seconds and will automatically stop at that point and an
audible chime will sound. The blender will go back into Standby
mode. To start another cycle, press Ice Crush again. To interrupt
the program, press Ice Crush and the unit will pause, reverting to
Standby. To continue, press Ice Crush again. To stop the cycle,
move to another setting or press On/Off. Note: Moving from Ice
Crush to Standby and then holding down the Ice Crush button
momentarily will allow you to operate at a continuous speed
automatically for one minute.
Note: We recommend you use approximately 8 cubes per cycle.
Interrupting any pre-programmed function – Pulse, Smoothie, or
Ice Crush – will reset the program.
9.
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.
10. WHEN FINISHED BLENDING: Press the On/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 put hands into blender jar with
blender plugged in.
11. In the event the blender loses power and shuts off, simply unplug the
unit and then plug it back in. Press On/Off to power the unit on. If the
unit has overheated, let it cool down (10 minutes) before powering on.

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.
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.
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. Empty blender jar and carefully disassemble parts. Any
other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

RECIPE TIPS
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 and pre-programmability
of the PowerEdge
®
1.3 HP Blender, you’ll also be able to make delicious
frozen drinks effortlessly.
Chopping Nuts: Place shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover blender.
Use pre-programmed Pulse on High until desired chop is achieved. Pulse
fewer times for coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process small
amounts, ½ cup or less.
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. Use Pulse on High to chop, then blend continuously
on Low until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best results,
process 1 cup or less at a time.
Crushing Ice: Add up to 8 standard ice cubes to the blender jar.
Cover. Press the pre-programmed Ice Crush button. Timer will sound;
turn blender off.
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and blade
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. Add strips and 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar
or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on
High; blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.
Baby Food: Combine no more than 1 pound of cooked vegetables or
fruit with ½ cup liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking liquid) in
the blender jar. Cover. Set on High. Blend until smooth. Add more liquid
as necessary and process further until desired texture is reached. Always
consult with your pediatrician/family physician concerning the best foods
for your baby and when to introduce new foods to his/her diet.
Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces; remove the outer
hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar and cover blender. Pulse to chop
cheese, then blend on High until desired grind is reached. For best results,
grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.
Grinding Spices: For best results, blender jar and blade assembly must
be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices/seeds/peppercorns to blender
jar. Cover. Pulse on High to break up, then blend on High until desired
consistency is achieved.
Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and blade assembly in
refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to blender
jar. Cover jar. Set on High and blend until cream is thickened. (Do not
9
overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.) If desired, add 1 tablespoon
of sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla or other flavoring. Consistency
will be that of a thickened, but not fluffy, whipped cream and is most
appropriate for topping desserts or coffee drinks.
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 place ½ to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid in the blender
jar along with the cooked solids. Blend on Low first and then High, until
desired consistency/purée is reached.
Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to prevent steam buildup,
which may cause the lid to lift up from the blender jar.
Many recipes have large yields, but they can easily be halved if you desire
a smaller amount.
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 making smoothies and frosty beverages to
prevent diluting the drink.

Buckwheat Crêpes with Spinach and
Goat Cheese
This brunch dish is absolutely delicious served with hollandaise
sauce. To save time in the morning, prepare the crêpe batter the
night before.
Makes 12 servings
Buckwheat crêpes:
2½ cups whole milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
to room temperature
6 large eggs
1½ cups buckwheat flour
½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
Filling:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, chopped
2½ pounds (40 ounces) baby spinach
1¼ teaspoons sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 large eggs
1 to 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
8 ounces soft goat cheese
Put the milk, butter and eggs into the jar of your Cuisinart
®
PowerEdge
®
1.3 HP Blender. Run on Low for 20 seconds. Add the
flours and salt; cover and run on High until smooth and completely
combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl;
cover and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.
While the crêpe batter is chilling, prepare the filling: Put the oil into
a large skillet and place over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers
across the pan, add the onion and sauté until softened, about 3
minutes. Add the spinach a handful at a time, salt and pepper, and
sauté until bright and wilted, about 9 minutes total. Reserve filling.
17
Poach the eggs: Pour water with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar per
every 4 quarts into a large saucepan. Place over high heat and
bring to a strong simmer. Carefully add eggs by cracking over the
water – use a spatula to separate the eggs. Cook until desired
doneness. Transfer with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking.
Reserve.
Prepare the crêpes: Place a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium
heat and preheat for 5 minutes. Once the pan is heated, add the
butter. Once melted, wipe the butter around the pan with a paper
towel. Add a scant ¼ cup of batter to the preheated pan. Working
very quickly, move the batter around so it just coats the bottom.
You want the pan to be coated thinly and evenly. After about 1
minute, when the crêpe is set and lightly browned, flip the crêpe
using a heatproof spatula and cook for an additional minute.
Reserve on a plate. Continue with the remaining batter, stacking
the crêpes as you go.
When all of the crêpes are prepared, cover plate with foil – to keep
crêpes warm, place plate over a skillet containing some water over
medium-low heat.
To serve crêpes:
Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Reheat poached eggs by
placing in simmering water for 30 seconds. Remove with a spoon.
Each crêpe should be filled with ¼ cup of the spinach filling and ½
tablespoon of goat cheese. Fold each crêpe in half and lay one
partially on top of the other. Place the two crêpes on each plate
and top with a reheated poached egg.
Serve with hollandaise sauce on the side.

1½ quarts vegetable or chicken broth
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1½ teaspoons sea salt

Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Roasting your own peppers is simple to do and adds a real fresh
flavor to this creamy soup.
Makes about 8 cups
10 red bell peppers, seeded
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 large shallot (about 1½ ounces), roughly chopped

3 tablespoons sherry
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoon fresh thyme
1½ teaspoons white balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Flatten the seeded bell peppers and then on a foil-lined baking
sheet. Place on the top rack in your oven and broil until the
peppers are just blackened. Remove and place in a mixing bowl;
cover with plastic. Reserve.
While the peppers are roasting, put the butter into a medium
saucepan set over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add
24
the garlic, shallot and onion. Cook until softened and just brown.
Add the sherry to the saucepan and simmer until reduced by half.
Add the broth and raise the heat to medium-high. Bring the stock
just to a boil. Let sit for 5 minutes and then pour into the jar of your
Cuisinart

LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if
you own a Cuisinart
®
PowerEdge
®
1.3 HP Blender that was purchased
at retail for personal, family or household use. Except as otherwise
required under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers
or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that your

materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3 years from
the date of original purchase.
We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for
a fast, efficient way to complete your product registration. However,
product registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer
to maintain the original proof of purchase in order to obtain the
warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of purchase
date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be the
date of manufacture.
If your Cuisinart
®
PowerEdge
®
1.3 HP Blender should prove to be
defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think
necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our
toll-free number, 1-800-726-0190, for additional information from our
Customer Service Representatives, or send the defective product to:
Cuisinart
7475 North Glen Harbor Blvd.
Glendale, AZ 85307
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please enclose
$10.00 for shipping and handling of the product.
Please pay by check or money order (California residents need only
supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping
instructions).
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart
®
product that is being returned, we recommend you use a traceable,
insured delivery service. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY:
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California
residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A)
to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that
sells Cuisinart products of the same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either repair the product,
refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the
product, or refund the purchase price less the amount directly
attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above
two options do not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the
consumer may then take the product to an independent repair facility if
service or repair can be economically accomplished. Cuisinart and not
the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such
service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products
under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if
necessary, replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center
toll-free at 1-800-726-0190.
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement,
and shipping and handling for such products under warranty.
