Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover upwards. Lifting
measured pour lid will not remove cover.
3.
To start blending: press the “On” button. The red “On” LED light
will flash, indicating that the blender is turned on but no speed has
been selected.
4. Press the desired blending speed: 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
next desired speed button.
5. To stop the blending process: re-press the activated speed
button. The blending process will stop. The red “On” indicator light
will continue to flash to let you know that the blender is still on and
can be reactivated by pushing the desired speed button. The
blender can be completely deactivated and stopped at any speed
by pushing the “Off” button. You will need to press the “On” button
again to continue blending.
6. Pulse mode: while the blender is turned on, you can create a burst
of power for quick, efficient blending, by activating the pulse
function. To do so, first push the “Pulse” button, which will cause
the pulse indicator light to flash. Next, push and release the desired
speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of
each pulse. While pulsing, all indicator lights (the on, the pulse, and
the desired speed) 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 which do not require an extended amount
of blending.
7. To crush ice: the Supreme Super 600 TM Blender motor is strong
enough to crush ice without liquid at any speed; however, for your
convenience, we have preset the best speed for ice crushing. To
give you greater control, the ice crush function automatically
operates as a pulse function. To crush ice, place ice cubes in the
blender jar, and place the cover and the measured pour lid on the
blender jar. Press the “On” button. Press the “Ice Crush” button in
short pulses until ice is crushed to desired consistency. See the
Recipe Tips and Hints for more details.
8. 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.
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.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug your Cuisinart ® Supreme Super 600 ™ Blender from the
electrical outlet before cleaning. The blender is made of corrosion-
resistant parts which 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 locking ring by turning counterclockwise. Remove
the cutting assembly and rubber gasket. Wash in warm soapy water,
rinse, and dry thoroughly.
Place the locking ring in the upper rack of the dishwasher or wash in
warm water.
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is SHARP and may
cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.
