IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not put motor base of blender in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or removing contents from blender jar.
Never put hands into the blender jar or container, or handle the blades with appliance plugged in.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to nearest Cuisinart service facility for examination, repair, and/or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning or ordinary jars, not recommended or sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of counter or table or touch hot surfaces.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending, to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to blender itself. A rubber or plastic spatula may be used but must be used only when the blender is turned OFF.
11. When blender is in ON mode, and LED lights are glowing, do not touch cutting assembly, interfere with blade movement, or remove blender jar cover. Accidentally touching a speed button may activate the blender.
12. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly on base unless the blender jar is properly attached.
14. Always operate blender with the cover in place.
15. Never leave your blender unattended while running.
16. When blending HOT liquids, remove measured pour lid (center piece of cover) to allow steam to escape.
17. Twist on locking ring firmly. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally become exposed.
18. Do not use an extension cord with this unit. Doing so may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.
Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has been provided so
that you will have flexibility in positioning your Cuisinart® Supreme Super 600™ Blender near an electrical outlet. Exercise care when using the longer cord, to avoid entangling or tripping over the cord. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or tabletop, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. Excess cord should be stored in the cord storage area at the back of the blender base to avoid injury caused by the longer cord.
19. Wash the blender jar, cutting assembly, locking ring, and cover before first use.
20. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE, DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
21. WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES READY TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

• Cover should always be in place while the unit is on.
Warning: Do not place blender jar onto base while motor is running.
• Do not twist locking ring off 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-inch [1.3 cm] pieces of frozen fruit) should never be placed in the blender jar.
• Do not place ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids into a blender jar which has come directly from a hot dishwasher.
• Do not place very hot liquids or foods into a blender jar which has come directly from the freezer. Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.
• Follow Cleaning and Maintenance instructions on page 6 prior to your first use.
OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® Supreme Super 600™ Blender onto a flat, sturdy surface. It is important that the surface be clean and dry. Assemble the blender by following the assembly instructions. Once the jar is assembled and is in position on the motor base, plug the blender into an electrical outlet.
2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar, and replace the cover. 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 place hands
into blender jar with blender plugged in.
Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow with solid ingredients.
This will provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary stress on the motor.

Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upwards. Lifting measured pour lid will not remove cover.
3. To star t blending: press the “On” button. The red “On” LED light will flash, indicating that the blender is turned on but no speed has been selected.
4. Press the desired blending speed: both the “On” indicator light and the activated speed indicator light will glow. The blender will now be functioning at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing the “Off” button, by simply pushing the next desired speed button.
5. To stop the blending process: re-press the activated speed button. The blending process will stop. The red “On” indicator light will continue to flash to let you know that the blender is still on and can be reactivated by pushing the desired speed button. The blender can be completely deactivated and stopped at any speed by pushing the “Off” button. You will need to press the “On” button again to continue blending.
6. Pulse mode: while the blender is turned on, you can create a burst of power for quick, efficient blending, by activating the pulse function. To do so, first push the “Pulse” button, which will cause the pulse indicator light to flash. Next, push and release the desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of each pulse. While pulsing, all indicator lights (the on, the pulse, and the desired speed) will glow. The pulse function can be used to break apart larger pieces of food or to control the texture of food when chopping. The pulse function is also effective in starting the blending process when you do not want continuous power, or when processing items which do not require an extended amount of blending.
7. To crush ice: the Supreme Super 600TM Blender motor is strong enough to crush ice without liquid at any speed; however, for your convenience, we have preset the best speed for ice crushing. To give you greater control, the ice crush function automatically operates as a pulse function. To crush ice, place ice cubes in the blender jar, and place the cover and the measured pour lid on the blender jar. Press the “On” button. Press the “Ice Crush” button in short pulses until ice is crushed to desired consistency. See the Recipe Tips and Hints for more details.
8. 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.
9. When finished blending: press the “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 place hands into blender
jar with blender plugged in.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

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 cutting assembly as follows: Squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and fill halfway with warm water. Select Mix and run for 30 seconds, or as needed. Repeat, using clean tap water. Empty blender jar and carefully disassemble parts. Wash cutting assembly, gasket and locking ring in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
DOs AND DON’Ts WHEN USING YOUR BLENDER
DO:
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same voltage as that stated on the bottom of the blender motor base.
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry surface.
Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar first, then add
remaining ingredients. This will ensure that ingredients are uniformly mixed.
• Cut most foods into approximately ½-inch (1.3 cm) to 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no larger than ½-inch (1.3 cm).
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured pour lid after ingredients have been added.
• Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only when the blender is turned off. Never use metal utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar or cutting assembly.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on.
• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.
• Always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and rubber gasket before cleaning.
• When scraping the blender jar with a spatula, remove the food from the sides of the blender jar and place food in the center of the blender jar, over the cutting assembly.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc, make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are completely dry.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotating between pulses. If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, pulse in short bursts.
DON’T:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Don’t place cutting assembly and locking ring onto motor base without the blender jar attached.
• Don’t attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat egg whites.
• Don’t remove blender jar while unit is on. Keep the blender jar cover on the blender jar while blending.
• Don’t twist locking ring from blender jar when removing blender jar from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
• Don’t overprocess foods. Blender will achieve most desired results in seconds, not minutes.
• Don’t overload blender. If the motor stalls, turn the blender off immediately, unplug the unit, and remove a portion of the food, then continue.
• Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar while the motor is on.
• Don’t use any container or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart. Doing so may result in injury.
• Don’t place hands inside the blender jar when blender is plugged in.
• Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except ice cubes or ½-inch pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.
