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. This appliance should not be used by or near children or individuals
with certain disabilities.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning or removing contents from blender jar or
cup. Never put hands into the blender jar or cups, 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, electric 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 to persons or damage to blender itself. A
rubber or plastic spatula may be used but must be used only when the
blender is turned off.
11. When blender is in Standby mode, and the LED lights are flashing or
glowing, do not touch cutting assembly, interfere with blade movement,
or remove blender jar cover. Accidentally touching a speed button may
activate the blender.
12. BLADES ARE SHARP. HANDLE CAREFULLY.
13. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting assembly on base unless
the blender jar, chopper cup or travel cups are properly attached.
14. Always operate blender jar with the cover in place.
15. Never leave your blender unattended while running.
16. Twist on vessel firmly. Injury can result if moving blades accidentally
become exposed.
17. Do not use an extension cord with this unit. Doing so may result in fire,
electric shock, or personal injury.
18. Wash the blender jar, chopping cup, travel cups, cutting assemblies
and lids/cover before first use.
19. Keep hands and utensils away from cutting blade while chopping food
to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the food
chopper. A scraper may be used but only when the food chopper is not
running.
20. Do not blend hot liquids in the travel cups or chopping cup.
21. Be certain cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance.
22. Do not attempt to bypass the interlock system that powers the unit on.
23. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR
FIRE, DO NOT REMOVE THE BASE PANEL. NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE. REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE
ONLY BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL.
24. WARNING: FLASHING LIGHT INDICATES BLENDER IS READY TO
OPERATE. DO NOT TOUCH BLADES.

NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug
in any way.
Maximum rating of 350 watts is based on the jar attachment that draws the
greatest power. Other recommended attachments may draw significantly
less power.
This appliance comes with a thermal resettable fuse feature to prevent
damage to the motor in the case of extreme overload. Should the unit shut
off unexpectedly, unplug it and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before
continuing (see “Operating and Safety Tips,” on page 5).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug your Cuisinart®SmartPower®Portable Compact Blender
from the electrical outlet before cleaning. The base and parts are made of
corrosion-resistant materials that are easy to clean. Before first use and

before reassembly. DO NOT USE if any part is damaged, or if the jar or
cups are chipped or cracked.
To remove blade assemblies, twist off by turning counterclockwise.
NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF.
CAUTION: Handle the blade assemblies carefully. They are SHARP and
may cause injury. DO NOT attempt to remove blades from cutting assembly.
Wash all parts in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. All parts are
top rack dishwasher safe.
Tip: You may wish to clean your blending and chopper cutting assemblies
as follows: squirt a small amount of dishwashing liquid into blender jar or
cups and fill halfway with warm water. Attach blade assembly. Run on Low
for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Carefully disassemble parts
and empty blender jar or cups. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly.
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
liquids, or place in a dishwasher.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service

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.
