OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart ® SmartPower Premier
Duet ™ 600-Watt 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
Cuisinart
® SmartPower Premier Duet ™ 600-Watt 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 meas-
ured 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.

This will provide more consistent blending and prevent unnecessary
stress on the motor.
