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 (centre
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
Super 600
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.

• 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 [1.25 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.

7
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upwards. Lifting
measured pour lid will not remove cover.
3. To start 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 600
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
Always unplug your Cuisinart® Supreme Super 600™ Blender from the
electrical outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of corrosionresistant parts which are easy to clean. Before first use and after every
use, clean each part thoroughly. Periodically check all parts before
reassembly. If any part is damaged or blender jar is chipped or
cracked, DO NOT USE BLENDER.
Remove the blender jar from the motor base by lifting straight up and
away. Twist off the locking ring by turning counterclockwise. Remove
the cutting assembly and rubber gasket. Wash in warm soapy water,
rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Place the locking ring in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in
warm water.
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is SHARP and may
cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.
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 (1.25 cm) to 1-inch
(2.5 cm) cubes to achieve a more uniform result. Cut all cheeses
into pieces no larger than ½-inch (1.25 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 centre 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 (1.25 cm) pieces of frozen fruit) to glass blender jar. Boiling
liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being placed in blender jar.
