IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do
not put motor base of blender in water or other
liquids.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before
putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning or removing contents from blender
jar. Never put hands into the blender jar, or
handle the blades with appliance plugged in.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged
cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions
or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to nearest Cuisinart service facility for
examination, repair, and/or mechanical or
electrical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments, including canning or
ordinary jars, not recommended or sold by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk
of injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of counter or
table or touch hot surfaces.
10. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while
blending, to reduce the risk of severe injury

Boiling liquids or solid frozen foods (with the
exception of ice cubes or ½-inch [1.3 cm] pieces of
frozen fruit) should never be put into the blender jar.
• Do not put ice, frozen foods or very cold liquids
into a blender jar that has come directly from a
hot dishwasher.
• Do not put very hot liquids or foods into a blender
jar that has come directly from the freezer. Boiling
liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being
poured into blender jar.
• Follow Cleaning and Maintenance instructions on
page 6, prior to your first use.
OPERATION
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart®ReMix6.0
600-Watt Blender on a flat, sturdy surface.
It is important that the surface be clean and
dry. Assemble the blender jar by following the
Assembly Instructions. Once the jar is assembled
and is in position on the motor base, plug the unit
into an electrical outlet.
2.
Put all necessary ingredients into the blender
jar and replace the cover. You may add more
ingredients by lifting the measured pour lid and
dropping ingredients through the fill area. Replace
the measured pour lid after adding ingredients. Do
not put hands into blender jar with blender plugged
in.
Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then follow
with solid ingredients. This will provide more
consistent blending and prevent unnecessary
stress on the motor.
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of
cover upward. Lifting measured pour lid will not
remove cover.
3. Start blending:
Press the I/O button. The red LED
indicator light will illuminate and flash,

To crush ice:
The ReMix6.0 600-Watt 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 crush ice, place ice
cubes in the blender jar. Press the I/O button. The
On (I/O) indicator light will illuminate. Press the
Ice Crush button until ice is crushed to desired
consistency. Blender will cycle through function
and shut off when complete.
To pause or stop blending process:
a. To pause blending process:
Push the button corresponding to the speed at
which you are currently blending. For example: If
you are blending on High speed, push the High

but the unit will remain on.
b. To stop blending process:
Push the I/O button when you are finished with
your recipe and would like to turn the blender off.
c. To prevent excessive stress to the motor:
Your blender incorporates an auto-stop feature.
After running continuously for two minutes, the
blender will automatically revert to Standby
mode. To continue blending, press the desired
function.
To dislodge food:
Use a rubber or plastic spatula to help remove food
lodged around the removable blade assembly. Do
not use spatula until you have turned the blender off.
Replace the cover and measured pour lid and con-
tinue blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula is not
inside the blender jar before blending.
To reset the unit:
This appliance features an advanced resettable
thermal fuse. In the event of an overload condition,
the unit will shut down to protect the motor from
overheating. To reset the appliance when this hap-
pens, unplug the unit and let it cool for a minimum of
15 minutes. Then, reduce the contents of the blender
jar and/or clear any jams. Restart the unit as noted in
the operating directions.
When finished blending:
Press the I/O 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 remove
blade assembly from blender jar when removing jar
from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor
base. Do not put hands into blender jar with blender
plugged in.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug your Cuisinart®ReMix6.0 600-Watt
Blender from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
The blender is made of corrosion-resistant parts that
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. Remove blade assembly by
turning counterclockwise.
Remove the blade assembly. Wash in warm soapy
water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: Handle the blade assembly carefully. It is
SHARP and may cause injury. Do not attempt to remove
blades from assembly.
Remove the blender jar cover and the measured
pour lid. Wash in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry
thoroughly, or place in upper rack of dishwasher. The
blender jar must be washed in warm, soapy water
and rinsed and dried thoroughly. The blender jar can
also be placed upside down in dishwasher.
Finally, wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth
to remove any residue, and dry thoroughly. Never
submerge the motor base in water or other liquid,
or place in a dishwasher.
Tip: You may wish to clean your blender blade
assembly as follows: Squirt a small amount of
dishwashing liquid into assembled blender jar and fill
halfway with warm water. Run on Low for 15 seconds.
Repeat, using clean tap water. Rinse and dry all parts
thoroughly.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
DOs and DON’Ts
WHEN USING YOUR BLENDER
DO:
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the
same voltage as that stated on the bottom of the
blender motor base.
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry
surface.
• Always add liquid ingredients to the blender
jar first, then add remaining ingredients. This
will ensure that ingredients are uniformly
mixed.
• Cut most foods into cubes approximately ½ inch
(1.3 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) to achieve a more
uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no
larger than ½ inch (1.3 cm).
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid
ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured
pour lid after ingredients have been added.
• Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only
when the blender is turned off. Never use metal
utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar
or blade assembly.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender
with the cover on.
• Make sure removable blade assembly is tightly
attached to blender jar.
• Always remove blade assembly before cleaning.
• When scraping the blender jar with a spatula,
remove the food from the sides of the blender jar
and place food in the center of the blender jar,
over the blade assembly.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest,
bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure the
blender jar and blade assembly are completely
dry.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar
when blending, pulse in short bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses
so the blades stop rotating between pulses.
DON’T:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Don’t place blade assembly on motor base
without the blender jar attached.
• Don’t attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy
dough, or beat egg whites.
• Don’t remove blender jar while unit is on. Keep
the blender jar cover on the blender jar while
blending.
• Don’t twist removable blade assembly from
blender jar when removing blender jar from motor
base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base.
• Don’t overprocess foods. Blender will achieve
most desired results in seconds, not minutes.
• Don’t overload blender. If the motor stalls, turn
the blender off immediately, unplug the unit and
remove a portion of the food, then continue.
• Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar while
the motor is on.
• Don’t use any container or accessories not
recommended by Cuisinart. Doing so may result
in injury.
• Don’t put hands inside the blender jar when
blender is plugged in.
• Don’t add boiling liquids or frozen foods (except
ice cubes or ½-inch pieces of frozen fruit) to
glass blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for
5 minutes before being poured into blender jar.
• Don’t run blender when jar is empty.

RECIPE TIPS
The simple recipes that follow include some
old Cuisinart favourites as well as some
creative combinations that are sure to please
your friends and family. Thanks to the
superior ice crushing power of the ReMix6.0
600-Watt Blender, you’ll also be able to
make delicious frozen drinks.
Chopping Nuts
Put ½ cup (125 ml) shelled nuts into the
blender jar and cover blender. Pulse on Low
or High until desired chop is achieved. Pulse
fewer times for coarsely chopped nuts. For
best results process small amounts, ½ cup
(125 ml) or less.
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs
Break or cut bread, cookies or crackers into
pieces ½ inch (1.25 cm) or less in size. For
best bread results, use day-old bread (drier
bread works best). Put bread, cookie or
cracker pieces in blender jar. Set on Low
or High and pulse to chop, then run
continuously until desired texture of crumbs
is achieved. For best results, process 1 cup
(250 ml) or less at a time.
Crushing Ice
Put up to 10 standard ice cubes into the
blender jar. Cover. Select pre-program Ice
Crush function. Blender will cycle through
function and stop blending when complete.
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest
For best results, blender jar and cutting
assembly must be clean and dry. Remove
zest from fruit in strips using a vegetable
peeler; use a sharp knife to remove the
bitter white pith from the underside of the
zest. Process no more than 8 strips at a time
(zest of 1 medium lemon). Cut strips in half.
Put strips and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sugar or
coarse salt (from recipe) into the blender jar.
Cover blender jar. Run on Low for 15 to
20 seconds.
Baby Food
Combine ½-cup (125 ml) cooked vegetables,
fruit or meat with 3 to 4 tablespoons
(45 - 60 ml) liquid (water, milk, fruit juice,
broth, or cooking liquid) in the blender jar.
Run on Low for 15 to 20 seconds until a
smooth purée is reached. Add more liquid as
necessary and process further until desired
texture is reached. Always consult with your
pediatrician/family physician concerning the
best foods for your baby and when to intro-
duce new foods to his/her diet.
Grinding Hard Cheese
Cut cheese into ½-inch (1.25 cm) pieces;
remove all outer hard rind. Put cheese into
blender jar. Pulse on Low to chop cheese,
10 to 12 times, then run until desired grind
is reached. For best results, grind no more
than 3 ounces (85 g) of cheese at a time.
Grinding Spices
For best results, blender jar and cutting
assembly must be clean and dry. Put ¼ to
½ cup (60-125 ml) of spices/seeds/pepper-
corns into blender jar. Pulse on Low or High
to break up, then run for 20 to 40 seconds.
Whipping Cream
If possible, chill blender jar and cutting
assembly in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Put
1 cup (250 ml) heavy or whipping cream into
blender jar. Cover jar. Pulse on Low 20 to
30 times until cream is thickened. (Do not
overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.)
If desired, add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sugar
and 1 to 2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) of vanilla or
other flavouring. Consistency with be that of
a thickened but not fluffy whipped cream,
and is most appropriate for topping desserts
or coffee drinks.
When using the blender to purée hot
mixtures such as creamed soups and
baby foods, strain the solids from the
liquid, reserving the cooking liquid. Then
put ½ to 1 cup (125-250 ml) of the reserved
cooking liquid into the blender jar along
with the cooked solids. Pulse on Low to
chop, then run on Low or High until desired
consistency/purée is reached.
Allow hot foods to cool slightly before
blending to prevent steam buildup, which
may cause the lid to lift up from the blender
jar.
Keep your blender out on the counter within
easy reach, and you will be surprised how
often you will use it.
Keep ice cubes made of juices, yogurt, milk
or fruit purées on hand to substitute for
plain ice when making smoothies and frosty
beverages to prevent diluting the drink.

* Raw egg warning: Caution is suggested in
consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the
slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne
illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use
only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean, grade A or
AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact
between the yolks or whites and the shell. For a
lower-cholesterol mayonnaise, and to avoid using
raw eggs, use cholesterol-free egg substitute for
the egg yolk.

Hollandaise Sauce
Fair warning: It is almost too easy to make this classic
and decadent sauce in the Cuisinart®blender!
Makes 1 cup (250 ml)
½ cup [125 ml (¼ pound, 1 stick)] unsalted
butter
4 large egg yolks
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) kosher salt
Pinch ground mustard
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1½ tablespoons (25 ml) fresh lemon juice
1. Put the butter into a saucepan set over low heat
until butter is melted and reaches a slight
simmer.
2. While the butter is melting, put the remaining
ingredients into the blender jar. About a minute
before adding the butter, run the unit on Low for
about 30 seconds to combine.
3. With the blender still running on Low, carefully
remove the pour lid from the cover. Very slowly
drizzle the hot butter through the opening while
using the measuring cup or dishtowel to shield
the opening to prevent any splatter. When
adding the butter, be careful not to add the white
milk solids that will be left on the bottom of the
pan. Once all butter has been added, check
hollandaise for consistency. Use a long, skinny
spatula to stir as some yolk may have
accumulated in the well by the blade. If overall
consistency is too thick, blend in some hot
water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) at a time, until
desired consistency is achieved.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
5. Serve immediately or transfer hollandaise to
a double boiler to keep warm for serving.
