ASSEMBLY
To use your Cuisinart
® SmartPower ® Electronic Blender, begin by
assembling the blender jar. See diagram, next page.
1. Turn the blender jar (a) upside down, and place it flat on
a sturdy surface.
2. Position the rubber gasket (b) on the round opening on the
bottom of the blender jar.
3. Turn the cutting assembly (c) upside down, and place the blade

measured pour lid into the cover, aligning the tabs in the pour lid
with the slots in the cover. Twist clockwise to lock pour lid into
the cover.

are facing you and the handle is positioned to one side.
7. Plug in power cord. Your blender is now ready to be used.
