USING THE COMPACT PORTABLE BLENDER
FOR BABY AND FAMILY
With the Compact Portable Blender, you can chop, grind or purée small
amounts of foods. Use the listing of ingredients and techniques on pages
5-7 as a basic guide for processing.
We’veputtogethervaluableinformationandrecipesforyoutouseas
guidelinesforyourbaby’stransitionfromliquidstosolidsandevento
family-friendlyfoods.Alwayskeepinmind,however,baby’sdoctorknows
best. Check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
TIPS AND HINTS FOR BABY FOOD
The Compact Portable Blender is an excellent tool for puréeing fruits and
vegetables.Foroptimalnutrientretention,steamorbakebaby’sfoodusing
as little water as possible. When puréeing, use any leftover liquid
to increase the nutritional content and achieve the desired consistency.
Add new foods one at a time, one teaspoon at a time. Serve only that
type of food for at least 3 days before beginning another to be sure baby
is not allergic. Once baby has been introduced to different foods, mix and
match to make great combinations. For example, oat cereal and fruit, sweet
potatoes and apple, or chicken with carrots.
Always use the freshest ingredients, organic if preferred. Homemade baby
food should not be seasoned or sweetened.
Save time by preparing larger portions and freezing into ice cube trays or
airtight containers. Each cube is equal to 1 ounce or 2 tablespoons, which
is a complete serving for baby. Never refreeze any food that has been
previously frozen.
Whenintroducinganewfood,ifbabydoesn’tacceptit,anddoesnothave
any adverse reaction, try again in a few days.
Certain foods should be avoided for a period of time because of their highly
allergenic properties. The following foods should be avoided until after 12
months of age:
•Honey   •Corn
•Eggwhites  •Wheat
•Soy   •Wholemilk
•Rawberries  •Citrus(orotherhighlyacidicfruits)
The following foods should be avoided until after 24 months of age:
•Peanuts/peanutbutter •Treenuts
•Shellsh
Certain foods that can be a choking hazard should also be avoided,
including, but not limited to, grapes, raw carrots, raisins (and other small dry
fruits), candy, hot dogs, popcorn, and large pieces of meat.
Vegetables that are high in nitrates, like spinach, turnips, carrots, and beets,
should be offered in limited quantities at a time.
Baby will be ready for nger foods when he or she has achieved all the
behaviors indicating a readiness for solid foods (see page 4), around 8
months. Additionally, baby can transfer items from hand to hand, has more
constant chewing motion, and puts “everything” into the mouth!
When baby is ready to graduate to family foods, he or she should be starting
to use a spoon.
Always remember to continue to check with your pediatrician regarding
appropriate foods and ages, as every baby develops differently.

WARRANTY
LIMITED THREE-YEAR
WARRANTY
This warranty supersedes all previous warranties on the Cuisinart®
SmartPower®Portable Compact Blender. This warranty is available to
consumers only. You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart®SmartPower®
Portable Compact Blender that was purchased at retail for personal, family,
or household use. Except as otherwise required under applicable state law,
this warranty is not available to retailers or other commercial purchasers or
owners. We warrant that your Cuisinart®SmartPower®Portable Compact
Blender will be free of defects in material or workmanship under normal
home use for three years from the date of original purchase. We
recommend that you visit our website, www.cuisinart.com for a fast,
efficient way to complete your product registration. However, product
registration does not eliminate the need for the consumer to maintain the
original proof of purchase in order to obtain the warranty benefits. In the
event that you do not have proof of purchase date, the purchase date for
purposes of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.
If your blender should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we
will repair it or, if we think it necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service,
please call our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190 or write
to: Cuisinart, 7811 North Glen Harbor Blvd., Glendale, AZ 85307.
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your return, please enclose $10.00
for shipping and handling of the product. Be sure to include a return
address, daytime phone number, description of the product defect, product
serial number (stamped on bottom of product base), and any other
informationpertinenttotheproduct’sreturn.Pleasepaybycheckormoney
order (California residents need only supply proof of purchase and should
call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions).
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart product
that is being returned, we recommend you use a traceable, insured delivery
service. Cuisinart cannot be held responsible for in-transit damage or for
packages that are not delivered to us. Lost and/or damaged products are
not covered under warranty.
Your Cuisinart®SmartPower®Portable Compact Blender has been
manufactured to strict specifications and has been designed for use with
the Cuisinart®SmartPower®Portable Compact Blender accessories and
replacement parts. These warranties expressly exclude any defects or
damages caused by accessories, replacement parts, or repair service other
than those that have been authorized by Cuisinart. These warranties do not
cover any damage caused by accident, misuse, shipment, or other than
ordinary household use. These warranties exclude all incidental or
consequential damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion of or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitation
may not apply to you.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents
have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where
it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products
of the same type. The retail store shall then, according to its preferences,
either repair the product, refer the consumer to an independent repair
facility, replace the product, or refund the purchase price less the amount
directlyattributabletotheconsumer’spriorusageoftheproduct.Ifeitherof
the above two options does not result in the appropriate relief to the
consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an independent
repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost
of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products
under warranty.
California residents may also, at their preference, return nonconforming
products directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary, replacement by
calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart
will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and shipping and
handling for such nonconforming products under warranty.
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR CUISINART PRODUCT
If you are experiencing problems with your Cuisinart product, we suggest
that you call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 before
returning the product for servicing. Often, our Consumer Service
Representatives can help solve the problem without having the product
serviced. If servicing is needed, a Representative can confirm whether the
product is under warranty and direct you to the nearest service location.
Important: If the nonconforming product is to be serviced by someone other
thanCuisinart’sAuthorizedServiceCenter,pleaseremindtheservicerto
call our Consumer Service Center at 1-800-726-0190 to ensure that the
problem is properly diagnosed, the product is serviced with the correct
parts, and to ensure that the product is still under warranty.
