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 necessar y 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 the 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 not recommended or
sold by Cuisinart may cause fire, including
canning or ordinary jars, 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 injur y
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, inter fere with blade movement or
remove blender jar cover. Accidentally touching a speed button may activate the blender.
12. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE

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
®
VELOCIT Y
Ultra
TM
1HP 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.
23. Do not blend carbonate beverages in the
blender jar.

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 dr y
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
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 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,
breadcrumbs, 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 short bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses
so the blades stop rotating between pulses, about
1-2 seconds.
Don’t:
• Don’t store food or liquids in the 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 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 (1.25 cm) pieces of frozen
fruit] to blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for
5 minutes before being poured into blender jar.
• Don’t run blender when jar is empty.

RECIPE TIPS
The simple recipes that follow include some old
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 VELOCITY Ultra
TM
1HP Blender, you’ll also be able
to make delicious frozen drinks.
Chopping Nuts
Put ½ cup (125 ml) 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 (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).
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 (250 ml) or less at a time.
Crushing Ice
Put up to 12 standard ice cubes into the blender jar.
Cover. Press the Ice Crush button for perfect, snowlike results, For coarser results, pulse on Ice Crush
using short bursts.
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest
For best results, blender jar and cutting assembly
must be clean and dr y. 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 (5 ml) 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 (125 ml) cooked vegetables, fruit
or meat with 3 to 4 tablespoons (45 to 60 ml) 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
necessar y 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 (1.25 cm) 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 (85 g) of cheese at a time.
Whipping Cream
If possible, chill blender jar and cutting assembly in
refrigerator for 15 minutes. Put 1 cup (250 ml) 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 but ter will begin to form.) If
desired, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar and 1 to 2
teaspoons (5 to 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.
Other
When using the blender to purée hot mixtures such
as creamed soups and baby foods, strain the solids
from the liquid, reser ving the cooking liquid. Then put
½ to 1 cup (125 to 250 ml) of the reserved cooking
liquid into the blender jar along with the cooked
solids. Blend on Low 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. When blending hot foods
hold lid down with a dish towel in hand to hold the lid
in place.
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 (250 ml) 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.

2. Add the carrots, salt, cinnamon, allspice,
nutmeg and thyme. Stir to coat ingredients
well and allow to heat through.
3. Add the chicken broth. Increase heat and bring
to a boil. Once soup comes to a boil, reduce
the heat so that it is barely simmering. Cover
and simmer until the carrots become tender,
about 50 to 60 minutes.
4. Once tender, separate the solids from liquid.
Put about half of the broth and half of the solids
into the blender jar. Blend on Low for about
10 seconds and then switch speed to High to
blend thoroughly. Pour soup into a clean pot.
Repeat with remaining ingredients. Taste and
adjust seasoning accordingly.

Creamy Greens Soup
This earthy, nourishing soup is delicious! Garnish
with a dollop of crème fraîche and a sprig of parsley.

1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter

½ cup (125 ml) heavy cream,
room temperature
1. Put the oil and butter into a 6-quart (5.6 L)
saucepan set over medium heat. Once butter is
melted, add the shallots, garlic and leek. Sweat
ingredients together so that they gently sauté,
but do not pick up any colour.
2. Add the kale, parsley, salt and pepper and stir
to coat. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a
boil. Cover and reduce heat so that the soup is
just simmering. Simmer for about 30 minutes.

Hollandaise Sauce
Fair warning: It is almost too easy to make
this creamy and decadent sauce in
the Cuisinart® blender.
Makes ¾ cup (175 ml)
½ cup [1 stick (125 ml)] unsalted butter
4 large egg yolks
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt
Pinch ground mustard
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1½ tablespoons (25 ml) fresh lemon juice
1. Put the butter into a saucepan set over low
heat until butter is melted and reaches a slight
simmer.
2. While the butter is melting, put the remaining
ingredients into the blender jar. About a minute
before adding the butter, run the unit on Low for
about 30 seconds to combine.
3. With the blender still running on Low, carefully
remove the measured pour lid from the cover.
Very slowly drizzle the hot butter through
the opening (holding the pour lid, or even a
dishtowel, in place to prevent any splattering).
When adding the butter, be careful not to add
the white milk solids that will be left on the
bottom of the pan. Once all butter has been
added, check hollandaise for consistency. Once
the blender is off, use a long, skinny spatula to
stir, as some yolk may have accumulated in the
well by the blade. If overall consistency is too
thick, add some hot water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve
immediately or transfer hollandaise to a double
boiler to keep warm for serving.

Roasted Red Pepper and Garlic Sauce
Serve this sauce over chicken, pork or fish,
or as an alternative to pasta sauce.
Makes 1½ cups (375 ml)
3 red bell peppers
2 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 tablespoon (15 ml) red wine vinegar
¼ cup (60 ml) chicken broth, low sodium
(use more for a thinner sauce)
½ teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking
pan with parchment paper. Place peppers and
garlic on prepared baking pan.
2. Roast peppers and garlic in oven for
20 minutes. Remove the garlic cloves and place
in a small heatproof bowl. Return tray to oven
and continue roasting peppers for an additional
30 minutes, flipping a few times so peppers are
evenly charred.
3. Once peppers are charred all over, place them
in the bowl with the garlic and cover tightly with
plastic wrap. Allow peppers to cool and steam
at least 30 minutes, so that their skins become
loose. Once cool, peel the skins off the peppers
and garlic.
4. Put the vinegar, peppers, garlic, and salt in the
blender jar. Blend on Low about 10 seconds,
until processed. With the blender still running
on Low, carefully remove the measured pour
lid and slowly pour in the hot broth. Blend until
smooth, about 20 seconds. For a thinner sauce,
pour in more hot broth.
5. Serve over meat, chicken, fish or roasted
vegetables.

Crêpe Batter
Extremely versatile, this recipe should be added
to everyone’s collection. Crêpes can be filled with
sweet items (cinnamon-sugar and fruit; whipped
cream and chocolate) or savory (eggs and ham;
vegetables and hollandaise).
Makes about 12, 8-inch (20 cm) crêpes
3 large eggs, room temperature
¼ cup [60 ml (½ stick)] unsalted butter,
melted and cooled to room temperature
¾ cup (175 ml) unbleached, all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon (2 ml) kosher salt
1 tablespoon (15 ml) granulated sugar
1 cup (250 ml) reduced-fat milk,
room temperature
1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (5 ml) unsalted butter,
room temperature
1. Put the eggs, melted butter, flour, salt and sugar
into the blender. With the unit running on Low,
carefully remove the pour lid from the cover of
the blender. Add the milk and vanilla through
the opening. Mix about 15 to 20 seconds, or
until smooth. If time allows, let the batter rest in
the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Before
using batter, whisk to re-blend, straining, if
necessary, to remove any lumps.
2. Melt the teaspoon of butter in an 8-inch
(20 cm), nonstick skillet set over medium heat.
Once pan is hot, add a scant ¼ cup (60 ml)
of batter to the pan, moving the batter around
quickly to make a thin coating on the pan. Cook
the crêpe for 2 to 3 minutes, until the edges
just start to brown, and then carefully flip and
finish the other side for an additional minute.
Continue cooking crêpes until there is no more
batter.
3. Serve with sweet or savory fillings of your
choice.

* Raw egg warning: Caution is suggested in
consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to
the 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
lower-cholesterol mayonnaise, and to avoid using
raw eggs, use cholesterol-free egg substitute for
the egg yolk.
