OPERATION
®
™
1. Place the motor base of your Cuisinart PowerEdge 1000-Watt Blender
on a flat, sturdy surface. It is important that the surface be clean and dry.
Assemble the blender by following the Assembly instructions (page 4).
Once the jar is assembled and is in position on the motor base, plug the

guarantee perfect results. The timer begins counting from 0:00 as soon
as you push your desired function. The timer will continue to count up
even if you change speeds during blending. You can pause the timer
by pausing the blending process. Do this by pushing the button corre-
sponding to the function at which you are currently blending.
For example: If you are blending on Low and you push the Low func-
tion button, the blender will stop blending and the timer will stop
counting, but the unit will remain on. To continue blending and timing
your recipe, push the function chosen (Low) again. The timer will also
stop counting when it reaches 4:00 minutes, and an audible chime will
sound. The blender will go into Standby mode when the timed cycle is
finished. The timer will reset itself when the On/Off button is pushed, a
pre-programmed function is engaged or you change functions.
2. Add all necessary ingredients to the blender jar and replace the cover.
Make sure that the “pour” marking in the cover is aligned with the pour
spout. This will ensure smoother lifting of the lid. 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 in blender jar with blender plugged in.
Note: To remove blender jar cover, lift edge of cover marked “lift” upward.
Lifting measured pour lid will not remove cover.
3. START BLENDING: Press the On/Off button. The red LED indicator light
will illuminate and flash, indicating that the blender is turned on but no
speed has been selected. This is Standby mode.
7. PRE-PROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS: Pulse, Smoothie and Ice Crush are
programmed based on extensive testing in our kitchen and engineering
lab. As part of their programming, the blender will pause between
bursts and cycles. This is normal and by design. Programs run for
20 to 60 seconds.
4. CHOOSE BLENDING SPEED: Press desired function to determine the
speed at which you would like to blend the ingredients. The indicator
light for the activated speed will glow. The blender will now be function-
ing at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing
the On/Off button by simply pushing another speed button.
a) Auto Pulse Mode: The pre-programmed Pulse mode creates a
burst of power for quick, efficient blending. To use the Auto Pulse,
from the Standby (On/Off) mode, push Pulse and the red LED
indicator will flash. Then choose High or Low for auto-pulsing for
up to 4 minutes. The pre-programmed sequences of short bursts
with two- second intervals will commence. The Auto Pulse func-
tion can be used to break apart larger pieces of food or to control
the texture of food when chopping. The Auto Pulse function is
also effective in starting the blending process when you do not
want continuous power, or when processing items that do not
require an extended amount of blending.
™
Note: The Count Up Timer will begin counting when the desired speed
button is pushed. When you switch into a pre-programmed speed, the
timer will reset to support the new command.
5. 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 speed button and the
blender will stop blending but the unit will remain on.
b) Smoothie: start by powering the unit on and pressing Smoothie.
The LED backlight will illuminate and a 30-second count-up pro-
gram will begin. Not smooth enough for your liking? After the cycle
stops, the blender will go into Standby mode. To reactivate press
the Smoothie button again to start a new cycle. An audible chime
will sound at the end of the cycle. You may stop the program at
any time by pressing the Smoothie button again or by powering
the unit off.
Note: By pausing the blending process, you will also pause the timer.
The timer will pause until you start blending again. Changing functions
will reset the timer.
b) To Stop the Blending Process: Push the On/Off button when you
are finished with your recipe and would like to turn the blender off.
Pausing will stop the blender but NOT turn it off.

c)
Ice Crush: From the Standby mode, press Ice Crush. A pre-pro-
grammed cycle will begin. It is designed to run for approximately
25 seconds and will automatically stop at that point and an
audible chime will sound. The blender will go back into Standby
mode. To start another cycle, power the unit Off, power On and
press Ice Crush again. To interrupt the program, press Ice Crush
and the unit will pause, reverting to Standby. To continue, press
Ice Crush again. To stop the cycle, move to another setting or
press On/Off. Note: Moving from Ice Crush to Standby and then
holding down the Ice Crush button momentarily will allow you to
operate at a continuous speed automatically for one minute.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
®
™
Always unplug your Cuisinart PowerEdge 1000-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.
Invert the jar. Twist off the locking ring by turning counterclockwise. If too
tight, put the unit on the base and twist accordingly (see Helpful Reminders,
page 5).
Interrupting any pre-programmed function – Pulse, Smoothie, or
Ice Crush – will reset the program.
Remove the cutting assembly and rubber gasket. Wash in warm soapy
water; rinse and dry thoroughly.

food lodged around the cutting assembly. DO NOT USE SPATULA UNTIL
YOU HAVE TURNED THE BLENDER OFF. Replace the cover and
measured pour lid and continue blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula
is not inside the blender jar before blending.
CAUTION: Handle the cutting assembly carefully. It is SHARP and may
cause injury. Do not attempt to remove blades from cutting 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.
9.
WHEN FINISHED BLENDING: Press the On/Off 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 twist locking
ring 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.
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.
10. In the event the blender loses power and shuts off, simply unplug the
unit and then plug it back in. Press On/Off to power the unit on. If the
unit has overheated, let it cool down (10 minutes) before powering on.
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. Empty blender jar and carefully disassemble parts.
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).

• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to blender jar.
frozen drinks effortlessly.
Chopping Nuts: Place shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover blender.
Use pre-programmed Pulse on High until desired chop is achieved. Pulse
fewer times for coarsely chopped nuts. For best results process small
amounts, ½ cup or less.
• Always remove blade assembly and rubber gasket 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.
Bread, Cookie or Cracker Crumbs: Break or cut bread, cookies or
crackers into pieces ½ inch or less in size. For best bread results, use
day-old bread (drier bread works best). Place bread, cookie or cracker
pieces in blender jar. Use Pulse on High to chop, then blend continuously
on Low until desired texture of crumbs is achieved. For best results,
process 1 cup or less at a time.
•
When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs, nuts, spices,
etc., make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are completely dry.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar when blending, scrape
down the sides of the blender jar with a spatula and then use the Auto
Pulse to blend.
Crushing Ice: Add up to 8 standard ice cubes to the blender jar.
Cover. Press the pre-programmed Ice Crush button. Timer will sound;
turn blender off.
Don’t:
Grating Fresh Citrus Zest: For best results, blender jar and blade
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. Add strips and 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar
or coarse salt (from recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on High;
blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Don’t place blade assembly onto 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.
Baby Food: Combine no more than 1 pound of cooked vegetables or
fruit with ½ cup liquid (water, milk, fruit juice, broth, or cooking liquid) in
the blender jar. Cover. Set on High. Blend until smooth. 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 introduce new foods to his/her diet.
• Don't twist locking ring 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 immedi-
ately, unplug the unit and remove a portion of the food, then continue.
Grinding Hard Cheese: Cut cheese into ½-inch pieces; remove the outer
hard rind. Place cheese in blender jar and cover blender. Pulse to chop
cheese, then blend on High until desired grind is reached. For best results,
grind no more than 3 ounces of cheese at a time.
• 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.
Grinding Spices: For best results, blender jar and blade assembly must
be clean and dry. Add ¼ to ½ cup of spices/seeds/peppercorns to blender
jar. Cover. Pulse on High to break up, then blend on High until desired
consistency is achieved.
• 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 to
1-inch pieces of frozen fruit) to blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool
for 5 minutes before being poured into blender jar.
Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and blade assembly in
refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to blender
jar. Cover jar. Set on High and blend until cream is thickened. (Do not
overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.) If desired, add 1 tablespoon of
8
10ce114304_cbt1000_ib.indd
8
8/5/10 3:48:59 PM
sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons of vanilla or other flavoring. Consistency will 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 place ½ to 1 cup of the reserved cooking liquid in the blender
jar along with the cooked solids. Blend on Low first and then 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.
Many recipes have large yields, but they can easily be halved if you desire a
smaller amount.
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.

Bananas Foster Pancakes
®
Take the famous dessert and turn it into breakfast. Your Cuisinart
™
PowerEdge 1000 Watt Blender makes this recipe a quick treat in
the morning.
Prepare the crêpes: Place a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium
heat and preheat for 5 minutes. Once the pan is heated, add the
butter. Once melted, wipe the butter around the pan with a paper
towel. Add a scant ¼ cup of batter to the preheated pan. Working
very quickly, move the batter around so it just coats the bottom.
You want the pan to be coated thinly and evenly. After about 1
minute, when the crêpe is set and lightly browned, flip the crêpe
using a heatproof spatula and cook for an additional minute.
Reserve on a plate. Continue with the remaining batter, stacking
the crêpes as you go.

partially on top of the other. Place the two crêpes on each plate
and top with a reheated poached egg.
Put the banana, tablespoon of butter and ¼ cup of the brown

This warranty expressly excludes any defects or damages caused by
accessories, replacement parts, or repair service other than those that
have been authorized by Cuisinart.
This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse,
shipment or other ordinary household use.
This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so this
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, at its discretion, 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 the above
two options do 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, according to 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 products under warranty.
