CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug your Cuisinart® Hurricane™ 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 jar pad by lifting straight up and away, and hand-wash.

CAUTION: Remove the blender jar cover and the removable measuring cup. 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 with 24 ounces warm water. Run on Low for 15 seconds. Repeat, using clean tap water. Empty blender jar.
• Any 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 removable measuring cup to measure liquid ingredients such as alcohol. Replace removable measuring cup 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 cutting assembly.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender with the cover on.
• If food sticks to the sides of the blender jar, scrape the jar with a spatula, removing the food from the sides and place toward the center of the blender jar over the blade assembly. Pulse to blend.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are completely dry.

Don’t: 

• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• 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 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.
• Don’t use any utensil inside the blender jar while the motor is on.
• Don’t use any containers 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 to 1- inch pieces of frozen fruit) to blender jar. Boiling liquids should cool for 5 minutes before being poured into blender jar.
• Don’t use carbonated liquids in the blender jar. Using carbonated liquids in the blender jar may result in injury.

RECIPE TIPS

The simple recipes that follow include some old Cuisinart favorites as well as some creative combinations that are sure to please your friends and family. Thanks to the superior ice-crushing power and the pre-programmed functions of the Hurricane™, you’ll also be able to make delicious frozen drinks effortlessly.

• Chopping Nuts: Place shelled nuts in the blender jar and cover blender. Use 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.
• 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.
• Crushing Ice: Add up to 14 standard ice cubes to the blender jar. Cover. Press the pre-programmed Ice Crush button. When time expires; turn blender off.
• 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 (depending on recipe) to the blender jar. Cover blender jar. Set on High; blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn blender off.
• Baby Food: Combine no more than 1 pound of cooked vegetables or fruit with up to 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.
• 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.
• 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.
  Whipping Cream: If possible, chill blender jar and blade assembly in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to cold blender jar. Cover jar. Set on Low and blend until cream is thickened.  (Do not overblend – bits of butter will begin to form.) If desired, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract 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 cover 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.

• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1½ cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen (thawed) blueberries (if using frozen blueberries, toss with 2 tablespoons of the flour being used in the recipe)
• Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan

1. Put the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in the blender jar. Select Low and blend to “sift” for 30 seconds. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl; reserve.
2. Put the buttermilk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla into the blender jar. Select Low and blend until completely combined, about 20 seconds.
3. Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula to just combine. Add the blueberries and gently fold once or twice.
4. Preheat a griddle over medium heat. Once preheated, melt a small amount of butter to just coat the pan. Drop batter using a ¼-cup measure. Cook pancakes until bubbles form, about 2 minutes; flip and cook until done, another 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
5. Transfer to warm plates for serving. As you finish each round of pancakes, you can keep them warm on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet inside a low oven (200°F).

Sweet Crêpe Batter

• Makes about 15, eight-inch crêpes
• 3 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
• ¾ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup reduced-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

1. Put the eggs, melted butter, flour, salt, and sugar into the blender jar. Select Low and while the unit is running, carefully remove the measuring cup from the cover of the blender. Add the milk and vanilla through the opening. Mix about 15 to 20 seconds, or until smooth. Allow the batter to rest for a minimum of 1 hour, or up to overnight, refrigerated.
2. Before using batter, re-blend or whisk to remove any lumps (strain if necessary).
3. Set an 8- to 10-inch crêpe pan or nonstick skillet over medium/medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the 1 teaspoon of butter. Tilt the pan to evenly distribute the butter; let rest on heat for an additional 30 seconds. Add batter, about a scant quarter-cup, and with the pan in hand, quickly and evenly rotate it so the crêpe batter thinly coats the entire bottom surface. Allow to cook until set, about 2 minutes (traditionally the crêpe should not brown). Flip and cook on the second side for 30 seconds. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter.

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 Cuisinart® Hurricane™ should prove to be defective within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free number, 1-800-726-0190, for additional information from our Consumer Service Representatives, or send the defective product to:

Please pay by check or money order make payable to Cuisinart (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.

Please be sure to include your return address, daytime phone number, description of the product defect, product model number (located on bottom of product), original date of purchase, and any other information pertinent to the product’s return.

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.
