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
liquids.
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 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 on, and LED lights are illuminated or flashing, 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 it is
running.
16. Twist removable blade assembly firmly to blender
jar. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally
become exposed.
17. Regarding your cord set: A longer cord has
been provided so that you will have flexibility in
positioning your Cuisinart ReMix6.0 600-Watt
Blender. 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.
18. Wash the blender jar, blade assembly, and cover
before first use.
19. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE, DO NOT
REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USERSERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. REPAIR
SHOULD BE DONE ONLY BY AUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL.
20. WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES READY
TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.
21. When blending hot liquids in blender jar, remove
measured pour lid to allow steam to escape.
22. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in
an appliance garage always unplug the unit
from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could
create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance
touches the walls of the garage or the door
touches the unit as it closes.

OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart® ReMix6.0
600-Watt Blender on a flat, sturdy surface.
It is important that the surface be clean and
dry. Assemble the blender jar by following the
Assembly Instructions. Once the jar is assembled
and is in position on the motor base, plug the unit
into an electrical outlet.
2.

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
put 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.

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
(1.3 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) 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 blade assembly.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender
with the cover on.
• Make sure removable blade assembly is tightly
attached to blender jar.
• Always remove blade assembly 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 blade assembly.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest,
bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure the
blender jar and blade assembly are completely
dr y.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender
jar when blending, pulse in shor t bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses
so the blades stop rotating between pulses.
DON’T:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Don’t place blade assembly on 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 removable blade assembly 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 put 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 poured into blender jar.
• Don’t run blender when jar is empty.

Cuisinart. This warranty does not cover any damage
caused by accident, misuse, shipment or other than
ordinary household use. This warranty excludes all
incidental or consequential damages. Some states do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages,
so these exclusions may not apply to you. You may
also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
Important: If the nonconforming product is to be
serviced by someone other than Cuisinart’s Authorized
Service Center, please remind the servicer to call our
Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure

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 of
the ReMix6.0 600-Watt Blender, you’ll also be able to
make delicious frozen drinks.
Chopping Nuts
Put ½ cup shelled nuts into the blender jar and cover
blender. Pulse on Low or 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). Put bread,
cookie or cracker pieces in blender jar. Set on Low
or High and pulse to chop, then run continuously
until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best
results, process 1 cup or less at a time.
Crushing Ice
Put up to 10 standard ice cubes into the blender
jar. Cover. Select pre-program Ice Crush function.
Blender will cycle through function and stop blending
when complete.
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. Process no more than 8 strips at a time (zest of
1 medium lemon). Cut strips in half. Put strips and
1 teaspoon sugar or coarse salt (from recipe) into the
blender jar. Cover blender jar. Run on Low for 15 to
20 seconds.
Baby Food
Combine ½-cup cooked vegetables, fruit or meat
with 3 to 4 tablespoons liquid (water, milk, fruit juice,
broth, or cooking liquid) in the blender jar. Run on
Low for 15 to 20 seconds until a smooth purée is
reached. 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 all outer hard
rind. Put cheese into blender jar. Pulse on Low to
chop cheese, 10 to 12 times, then run 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 cutting assembly
must be clean and dry. Put ¼ to ½ cup of spices/
seeds/peppercorns into blender jar. Pulse on Low or
High to break up, then run for 20 to 40 seconds.
Whipping Cream
If possible, chill blender jar and cutting assembly
in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Put 1 cup heavy or
whipping cream into blender jar. Cover jar. Pulse
on Low 20 to 30 times until cream is thickened. (Do
not overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.)
If desired, add 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla or other flavoring. Consistency with
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
put ½ to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid into the
blender jar along with the cooked solids. Pulse on
Low to chop, then run on Low or 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.
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.
For quick cleaning, add 1 cup of warm water and
a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar. Cover
and run on Low or High for 30 seconds or more as
needed. Discard the soapy water and rinse blender
thoroughly before the next use.

slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness.
To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only
fresh, properly refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA
eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between
the yolks or whites and the shell. For a lowercholesterol mayonnaise, and to avoid using raw
eggs, use cholesterol-free egg substitute for the egg
yolk.
