INTRODUCTION
The Cuisinart ® SmartPower Premier ™ 600-Watt Blender is construct-
ed with a heavy die-cast metal base and 50-ounce glass blender
jar. This dynamic new look for blending - solid, sophisticated, and
elegantly commercial - is perfect for today’s gourmet kitchen.
The most powerful of the SmartPower ™ Blenders, it’s engineered
with a 600-watt motor that’s more than capable of handling extra
tough blending tasks, including crushing ice. The flip side of this
heavy-duty blender is its versatile, precision control. A Count-Up
™
Timer ensures that any recipe can be followed to the second, and a
professional-quality stainless steel blade finely minces even small
portions of delicate herbs or nuts. Separate Hi, Low, Pulse, and Ice
Crush controls, plus LED indicator lights, offer the kind of ease of
operation and control that result in the perfect blend, time after time.
A crowd pleaser, the heavy glass blender jar holds 50 ounces of
tropical island drinks, luscious fruit and yogurt shakes, creamy
chocolate pie filling, crepe or tempura batters...and more! If you
think of something else you want to add while blending, just remove
the measured pour lid insert and pour ingredients in. The blender
jar has a spillproof spout, and all the removable parts are
dishwasher safe. Great look. Perfect blend. Welcome to Cuisinart!
