INTRODUCTION
Congratulations. The Cuisinart ® SmartPower Basics™ 18-Speed
Blender is one of the easiest to use and most versatile blenders
you’ll ever own. It operates with a simple 18-speed twist dial and
fingertip On, Off and Pulse controls. This smart blender even has a
separate Ice Crush button located right in the center of the speed
control dial, to let you quickly crush ice for summer drinks or to cool
a bowlful of shrimp.
A powerful 500-watt motor effortlessly blends even the biggest
batches of frozen fruit smoothies, creamy summer soups, or
high-protein power shakes. The professional-quality stainless steel
blade works with the 18 speeds to precisely blend even delicate
ingredients to exact recipe specifications. You can coarsely chop a
chunky tomato tapenade or guacamole, or smoothly blend delicate
vinaigrette. This blender even mixes batter for breakfast specialties,
like healthy multigrain banana waffles.
The tightfitting lid has a removable measuring cap to let you add
ingredients while blending and to keep countertops clean. And a
spillproof spout on the big 48-ounce heavy glass blender jar makes
serving quick and easy. When it’s time to clean up, you’ll be pleased
to know that everything goes right into the dishwasher.
Happy blending!
