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 plastic or
wooden spatula may be used but must be used only
when the blender is turned off.
11. When blender is plugged in and ON/OFF button is
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 lid in place.
15. Never leave your blender unattended while it is
running.
16. Twist locking ring on firmly. 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 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.
18. Wash the blender jar, jar collar with black assembly,
lid and measuring cup before first use.
19. 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.
20. WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES READY
TO OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.
21. Ensure all packaging materials and any promotional
labels or stickers are removed from the Cuisinart®
Blend and Cook Soupmaker before first use.
22. Always inspect the appliance before use for notice-
able signs of damage. Do not use if damaged or if
the appliance has been dropped. In the event of
damage, or if the appliance develops a fault, contact
Cuisinart Customer Service.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CONTROL PANEL
COOKING AND BLENDING
1. Place the motor base of your blender on a flat, stur-
dy surface. It is important that the surface be clean
and dry. Assemble the blender by following the
Assembly instructions (page 4). Once the jar is
assembled and is in position on the motor base,
plug the blender into an electrical outlet.
2. Press the On/Off button. The blender is now in
Standby mode.
3. Select the required time per the recipe. This can
be adjusted throughout the cooking process, but
a time must be selected to start the heater initially.
4. Add ingredients according to the recipe. You may
add more ingredients by lifting the measuring cup
from the lid and dropping ingredients through the
lid opening. When making soup, fill the contents
of the glass jar only to the 48-oz. level marked HOT.
Always replace the measuring cup after adding
ingredients. See Recipe Tips and Hints for cooking
soups (recipe book, page 2).
CAUTION: Do not put hands into blender jar with
blender plugged in.
NOTE: Do not use anything other than the measur-
ing cup to cover or close lid opening. This prevents
obstruction to necessary steam vents.
CAUTION: When blending hot liquids ensure vents
in lid opening are clear and intended pour spouts
are closed (lid is secured).
5. To remove blender jar lid, lift edge of cover upwards.
Lifting from measuring cup will not remove lid.
CAUTION: Be careful of hot steam when removing lid.
6. To stir ingredients while cooking, use the Stir button.
7. When cooking time has finished, the blender will
beep 4 times.
8. To blend soup always start on speed 1, gradually
increasing to speed 2 or 3. Use only these recom-
mended speeds when blending hot items. Turn the
Blending control dial to stop when the desired con-
sistency is reached.
9. Unplug the blender from the electrical outlet. Never
remove the blender jar from the motor base until the
blender is off. Do not twist the blender collar from
the blender jar when removing jar from motor base.
CAUTION: When removing the jar use caution.
The area underneath the collar may be
extremely hot.
BLENDING COLD INGREDIENTS
1. Place the motor base of your blender on a flat,
sturdy surface. It is important that the surface be
clean and dry. Assemble the blender by following
the Assembly instructions (page 4). Once the jar is
assembled and is in position on the motor base,
plug the blender into an electrical outlet.
2. Press the On/Off button. The blender is now in
Standby mode.
3. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar and
replace the cover. You may add more ingredients by
lifting the measuring cup and dropping ingredients
through the lid opening. Replace the measuring cup
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.
4. To remove blender jar lid, lift the edge of lid upwards.
Lifting from measuring cup will not remove lid.
5. Turn the Blending control dial to your desired speed
or use the Pulse function. Turn the Blending control
dial to Stop when the desired consistency is
reached.
6. The Stir function can be used as well for gentle
blending.
NOTE: To dislodge food, do not use a spatula
until you have turned the blender off, use a plastic
or wooden spatula to help remove food lodged
around the cutting assembly. Replace the lid and
measuring cup and continue blending, if necessary.
Make sure the spatula is not inside the blender jar
before blending.
7. Unplug the blender from the electrical outlet. Never
remove the blender jar from the motor base until the
blender is off. Do not twist the blender collar from
the blender jar when removing jar from motor base.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Jar collar with blade assembly is NOT dishwasher
safe. Do not submerge in water or other liquids.
CAUTION: Be extremely careful when cleaning
around the blades. They are very sharp.
Always unplug your Cuisinart® Blend and Cook
Soupmaker from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
The blender is made of corrosion-resistant parts that 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 jar collar with blade
assembly by turning counterclockwise. Carefully remove
the rubber gasket.
CAUTION: When removing the jar use caution. The
area underneath the collar may be extremely hot.
Place the blender jar, lid, rubber gasket and measuring
cup in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in
warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly.
To thoroughly clean the heating plate, we recommend
that you use the cleaning brush that is included with
your blender. Be sure to let the heating plate cool before
cleaning with the cleaning brush, as the brush is not
heatproof.
NOTE: Do not clean the heating plate with any abrasive
tools so as not to scrape the easy-clean coating.
TIP: To wash jar assembly, add a drop of dishwashing
liquid and 8 ounces of warm water. Run on speed 1 for
30 to 60 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Do not
use heat controls when cleaning. Empty blender jar and
carefully disassemble jar from the collar with blade
assembly. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly or allow to
air dry.
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully.
It is SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt
to remove blades from cutting assembly.
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 liquids,
or place in a dishwasher. Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service representative.

This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a
consumer if you own a Cuisinart® Blend and Cook
Soupmaker that was purchased at retail for personal, family,
or household use. Except as otherwise required under
applicable state law, this warranty is not available to retailers
or other commercial purchasers or owners. We warrant that
your Cuisinart® Blend and Cook Soupmaker will be free of
defects in material or workmanship under normal home use
for three years from the date of original purchase.
We recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.
com for a fast, efficient way to complete your product
registration. However, product registration does not eliminate
the need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of
purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event
that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date
for purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.
If your blender should prove to be defective within the
warranty period, we will repair it or, if we think it necessary,
replace it. To obtain warranty service, please call our
Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190 or
write to: Cuisinart, 7811 North Glen Harbor Blvd., Glendale,
AZ 85307.
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please
enclose $10.00 for shipping and handling of the product.
Be sure to include a return address, daytime phone number,
description of the product defect, product serial number
(stamped on bottom of product base), and any other
information pertinent to the product’s return. Please pay
by check or money order. (California residents need only
supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190
for shipping instructions).
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any
Cuisinart product that is being returned, we recommend
you use a traceable, insured delivery service. Cuisinart
cannot be held responsible for in-transit damage or for
packages that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged
products are not covered under warranty.
Your Cuisinart® Blend and Cook Soupmaker has been
manufactured to strict specifications and has been designed
for use with the Cuisinart® Blend and Cook Soupmaker
accessories and replacement parts. These warranties
expressly exclude any defects or damages caused by
accessories, replacement parts, or repair service other
than those that have been authorized by Cuisinart. These
warranties do not cover any damage caused by accident,
misuse, shipment, or other than ordinary household use.
These warranties exclude all incidental or consequential
damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion of or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service,
California residents have the option of returning a
nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was
purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart
products of the same type. The retail store shall then,
according to its preferences, either repair the product,
refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace
the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount
directly attributable to the consumer’s prior usage of the
product. If either of the above two options does not result
in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer
may then take the product to an independent repair facility
if service or repair can be economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for
the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement,
or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, at their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair or,
if necessary, replacement by calling our Consumer Service
Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be
responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and
shipping and handling for such nonconforming products
under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART PRODUCT
If you are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart
product, we suggest that you call our Consumer Service
Center at 1-800-726-0190 before returning the product for
servicing. Often, our Consumer Service Representatives can
help solve the problem without having the product serviced.
If servicing is needed, a Representative can confirm whether
the product is under warranty and direct you to the nearest
service location.
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 that the problem is
properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct
parts, and to ensure that the product is still under warranty.
