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 insert fingers into dispenser tap hole, 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 flashing or 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® Premium 2 in 1 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, locking ring with cutting assembly, dispenser tap, dispenser plug 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. Always operate the blender with the dispenser tap or dispenser plug in place.
22. 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.

• WARNING: Do not place blender jar onto base while motor is running.
• Do not twist locking ring from 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.
3
• 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 in this booklet prior to your first use.
OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® Premium 2 in 1 Blender on 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 Cuisinart® Premium 2 in 1 Blender into an electrical outlet.
2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar, and replace the cover. You may use the blending stick or measured pour lid when blending. The blending stick helps to keep frozen ingredients moving without having to remove the lid. You may add more ingredients by lifting the measured pour lid or blending stick and dropping ingredients through the fill area. Replace the measured pour lid or blending stick 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. START BLENDING: Press the ON button. The red LED indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the blender is turned on but no speed has been selected.
4. CHOOSE BLENDING SPEED: Press HIGH or LOW button to determine the speed at which you would like to blend the ingredients. 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 other speed button.
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. b. To Stop Blending Process: Push the OFF button when you are finished with your recipe and would like to turn the blender off.
6. PULSE MODE: The pulse mode allows you to create a burst of power for quick, efficient blending. To use the pulse function, push the ON button and the red LED indicator light will illuminate. Push the PULSE button, and the pulse LED indicator light will blink. Push and release the desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of each pulse. While pulsing, the LED indicator light 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 that do not require an extended amount of blending.
7. 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.
8. USING DISPENSER TAP: Place cup or pitcher under the dispenser spout. Turn blender on and then press LOW – pull down the dispenser tap and stir contents with blending stick as ingredients are dispensing. If there is difficulty with dispensing, try dispensing on HIGH.
NOTE: IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NOT TO DISPENSE HOT INGREDIENTS THROUGH THE DISPENSER TAP.
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.

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 cubes approximately ½ inch (1.25 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) 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 or blending stick 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 with cutting assembly is tightly attached to blender jar.
• Always remove locking ring with cutting assembly, rubber gasket, dispenser tap and dispenser plug 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.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, use blending stick and pulse in short bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses so the blades stop rotating between pulses.
• Always use blending stick with cover in place.
Don’t:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Don’t place locking ring with cutting assembly onto motor base without the blender jar attached.
• Do not 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 overblend 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, other than the blending stick provided, inside the blender jar while the motor is on. NOTE: Blending stick is to be used only with cover in place.
• 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 or insert fingers into the dispenser hole 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.

RECIPES TIPS
The simple recipes that follow include some Cuisinart favourites as well as some creative combinations that are sure to please your friends and family. Thanks to the superior ice crushing power of the Premium 2 in 1 Blender, you’ll also be able to make delicious frozen drinks.
Chopping Nuts: Place ½ cup (125 ml) shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover blender. Set on low and pulse until desired chop is achieved. Pulse fewer times for coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process small amounts, ½ cup (125 ml)or less.
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: Break or cut bread, cookies or crackers into pieces ½-inch (1.25 cm) 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. Set on low or high and pulse to chop, then blend continuously until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best results, process 1 cup (250 ml) or less at a time.
Crushing Ice: Add up to 10 standard ice cubes to the blender jar. Cover. Press the Pulse button, then press the high button, using short bursts,10 times, or until cubes are the consistency of snow. Turn blender off. Pulse fewer times if coarsely chopped ice is desired.
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and cutting 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. Cut strips in half. Process no more than 8 strips at a time (zest of 1 medium lemon).
Add strips and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sugar or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on low; blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.
Baby Food: Combine ½ cup (125 ml) cooked vegetables, fruit or meat with 3 to 4 tablespoons liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking liquid) in the blender jar. Set on Low or High. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds until a smooth purée is reached.
Add more liquid as necessary and process further until desired texture is reached. For “junior” type foods, set on high and use the pulse function. 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 (1.25 cm) pieces; remove all outer hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar. Set on low. Pulse to chop cheese, 10 to 12 times, then blend until de­sired grind is reached. For best results, grind no more than 3 ounces (90 g)of cheese at a time.
Grinding Spices: For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly must be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup (50-125 ml) of spices/seeds/ peppercorns to blender jar. Set on low or high; pulse to break up, then blend for 20 to 40 seconds. Turn blender off.
Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and cutting assembly in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup (250 ml) heavy or whipping cream to blender jar. Cover jar. Set on low and pulse (1-second pulses) 20 to 30 times until cream is thickened. (Do not overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.) If desired, add 1 table­spoon (15 ml) sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) of vanilla or other flavouring. Consistency will be that of a thickened but not fluffy whipped cream and is most appropriate for topping desserts or coffee drinks.
Puréeing Hot Mixtures: 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. Allow hot foods to
cool slightly before blending to prevent steam buildup, which may cause the lid to lift up from the blender jar. Place the cooked solids in the blender jar along with ½ to 1 cup (125-250 ml) of the reserved cooking liquid. Pulse to chop, then blend until desired consistency/purée is reached.
NOTE: It is highly recommended NOT to dis­pense hot ingredients through the dispenser tap.
Keep ice cubes made of juices, yogurt, milk or fruit purées on hand, and use instead of plain ice when making smoothies and frosty beverages to prevent diluting the drink.
For quick cleaning, add 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar. Cover and blend on low or high for 30 seconds or more as needed. Discard the soapy water and rinse blender thoroughly before the next use.
Keep your blender out on the counter within easy reach and you will be surprised how often you will use it.

ANCHO CHILE SAUCE
A perfect all-purpose sauce for Mexican dishes.
Makes about 2 cups (500 ml)
6 dried ancho chiles 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil 1 large shallot (about 3 ounces [90 g]),
roughly chopped 1 garlic clove, chopped 1 jalapeño, seeds removed, roughly chopped ¼ cup (50 ml) white wine 1 cup (250 ml) chicken stock ¾ teaspoon (4 ml) salt 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lime juice
Reconstitute chiles: place them in a bowl, and pour boiling water over them so that they are completely covered. Invert a plate to cover bowl, keeping the chiles submerged. Allow the chiles to sit until they soften, about 30 minutes to an hour. Once soft, remove all seeds and stems, and reserve.
In a 3½-quart (3.3 L) sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, jalapeño, and a small pinch of salt. Stir and sauté until softened and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in reserved chiles and heat through for about a minute. Stir in white wine. Scrape any bits that are clinging to the bottom of the pan. Allow wine to reduce to almost nothing. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Place contents of pan into the blender jar and add remaining salt, honey, and lime juice.
Place cover with blending stick on the blender jar. Secure the cover tightly with a dishtowel and your hand. Press On and blend on high for 30 to 40 seconds. Press Off once it is smooth. Serve chile sauce immediately or keep in refrigerator for up to a week.
