GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, the Cuisinart® Hurricane™ Pro
Blenders are equipped with a 3-conductor cord that
has a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and
should be used in combination with a properly con
nected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure 1.
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter,
shown in Figure 2, may be obtained so that a 2-slot
wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug.
As shown in Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded
by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of
the outlet cover plate. CAUTION: Before using an
adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover
plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult
a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless
you are sure it is properly grounded.
Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada
and Europe. Green/Yellow: Earth Ground. Blue:
Neutral. Brown: Live. NOTE: User-installed cord set
plugs are not permitted in Europe.
This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be
used with a converter.
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the Cuisinart®
Hurricane™ Pro blender from outlet when assembling
and disassembling.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the motor base of the Cuisinart® Hurricane™
Pro on a flat, sturdy surface. It is important that the
surface is clean and dry. Fit the blender jar on the
motor base. Once assembled, plug the Cuisinart®
Hurricane™ Pro into an electrical outlet.
Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar and
secure the lid. You may add more ingredients by
removing the measuring cap and dropping ingredi
ents through the fill area. Replace the measuring cap
after adding any ingredients.
Do not put hands in blender jar with the blender
plugged in. Start blending:
1. POWER ON. Press the Power ON/OFF switch at
the back of the unit. This activates a 10-second
process ending at the Ready mode. During this
process, all the control buttons will illuminate, and
the LCD screen will display, “Cuisinart logo”. After
a few seconds, the LCD screen will display “the
most trusted name in the kitchen”, and then this
message: SELECT SPEED OR FUNCTION. The
START/STOP control will start flashing.
-
4. PULSE. When the blender is running at speed 1–10
pressing and releasing the PULSE control will let
you pulse ingredients, on and off.
5. TURBO. While blending on any function other than
“SOUP” or at any speed, press and hold the Turbo
Boost button for a boost of power at the blender’s
top speed (30,000 rpm).
6. TIMER. Use the up and down arrows to set/adjust
blending time when using the speed control knob.
You can adjust time in one-second intervals by
pressing and releasing, or press and hold to scroll

the timer arrows to adjust the preset program tim
ing up or down. Once you have set your desired
timing, press the START button to activate. Your

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
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.
