INTRODUCTION

Blending has never been easier! Now you can bring your blender to
the food, rather than taking your food to the blender.

The Cuisinart

®

Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender may be the most
convenient stick blender you ever own. Built with the same expertise
that made the Cuisinart

®

Food Processor a legend, it delivers up to

15 continuous minutes of powerful blending, without a cord.

Consider the possibilities. Take it to the stovetop to purée a pot of
simmering split pea soup or to blend pasta sauce just before serving.
Bring it out on the patio to mix up a pitcher of margaritas. Take it
to an out-of-the-way corner of the kitchen to quickly whip up a dip.
Wherever it goes, you get the perfect blend. And this hand blender is
comfortable. The handle is contoured to fit like your favorite kitchen
utensil. The rubberized grip won’t slip, even when hands are wet.
And we put the power button right on top, within easy reach of
your thumb.

As with all Cuisinart products, the Cordless Rechargeable Hand
Blender is designed to be easy to use. Prongs slide out of the charger
handle and into any wall outlet to recharge the batteries. The charger
handle can be left in the outlet whenever the blender is not in use to
guarantee up to 15 minutes of run time whenever you need it. The
Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender is engineered to let the batteries
remain on continuous charge and to draw very little power while
connected.

Cuisinart is famous for easy cleanups, too, and this hand blender is no
exception. The detachable shaft is dishwasher safe, and the handle
wipes clean in seconds.

Enjoy the perfect blend with Cuisinart, wherever life takes you!

task is 10 seconds to 2 minutes.

4.Maximum Comfort Handle:

The hand blender handle and power button are designed around
the way you actually hold a stirring utensil. The shape of this handle
gives you comfortable control and easy access to the power button.
Rubberized handle gives better grip, especially when your hands
are wet.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Place the package containing the Cuisinart®Cordless Rechargeable
Hand Blender on a sturdy surface. Unpack the hand blender from
its box by removing the upper protective insert. Carefully remove
each piece from the box.

Note: The blending blade is extremely sharp. Use caution when
removing and unpacking the storage stand. The blending blade
is stored in the storage stand.

Remove all support materials from the box and replace the upper
insert. Save packaging for possible repacking of the unit.

Before using the Cuisinart

®

Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender
for the first time, we recommend that you wipe the unit with a clean,
damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Dry it thoroughly with a soft,
absorbent cloth. Handle carefully. Wash the blending blade, whipping
disc, mixing beaker and detachable shaft by hand or in the dishwasher
(upper rack only). Dry thoroughly before use. Read all instructions
completely for detailed operating procedures.

The batteries in your
Cuisinart

®

Cordless
Rechargeable Hand Blender
have not been charged. Before
the first use of this appliance,
the batteries must be charged
for 24 hours! See Charging and
Battery Life on page 7.

ASSEMBLY

Note: To avoid possibility of
personal injury, always detach
the charger handle from the
motor body before attaching or
removing blades and/or attachments.

1. Attach blade or whipping disc

to blender shaft.

For your safety, always detach the shaft from the motor body.
To insert the blade or whipping disc, hold the stem of the
blade/disc between your fingers. Match the raised notches
on the shaft to the open slots on the stem.

OPERATION

Turning Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender ON/OFF:

Keep hands, hair, clothing and other utensils away from blending blade.

Press and hold rubberized ON/OFF button on top of handle to turn
motor ON. The ON/OFF button is marked “PRESS”. The hand
blender will continue to run as long as the switch is pressed in. To turn
hand blender off, release ON/OFF button and the motor will stop.

Helpful Hints:

1. Cut most solid foods into 1/2" cubes for easy blending.

2. Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing container first, unless
recipe instructs otherwise.

3. To avoid splashing, do not pull the hand blender out of the
mixture while blender is running.

4. Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not
in use.

5. To prevent splashing, don't turn the hand blender ON until the
blade is beneath the surface of the mixture.

6. Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the
blending mixture, as these are liable to damage the blade.

7. Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will
rise when blending, and can overflow.

8. Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids
with liquids.

9. For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for
best results.

Continuous Charging

The unit is designed so that the batteries may remain on continuous
charge. It is recommended that the Cuisinart

®

Cordless Rechargeable
Hand Blender charger be kept plugged into a wall socket to charge, so
that it will always be ready to use. Leaving the unit on continuous charge
is very inexpensive in terms of the amount of electricity
being used.

Holding the Charge

The batteries will keep their charge even when not plugged in. The
batteries will lose approximately 1% of their total charge per month,
if they are not plugged in and charging.

Short Run Times

If after repeated use the run time seems to get shorter and the hand
blender has less power, it may not be the result of a faulty unit.
This condition can be remedied by allowing the Cuisinart

®

Cordless
Rechargeable Hand Blender to run until it stops. Then recharge the unit
for 24 hours for a new charge. This procedure improves the batteries’
capacity. You may need to repeat this a few times for the best results.

Charging Light

The charging light on the tip of the handle glows when the unit is
charging. This light will be illuminated even when the batteries are
fully charged. If the unit does not function, make sure that the charger
handle is securely plugged into the outlet, and check to see if the
outlet is controlled by a wall switch. Also, check for a blown house
fuse. Note that if this light is on, the charger is operating.

(B) WHIPPING DISC ATTACHMENT

The Whipping Attachment is specially designed to add air and
volume to mixtures. Perfect for aerating egg whites, cream and
mayonnaise, this attachment makes mixtures light, frothy and thick.

When using this attachment, make sure there is extra room in the
mixing container for the recipe to grow! For most recipes such as
mayonnaise, beaten egg whites and whipped cream, hold the end of the
hand blender in the bottom of the container and turn it on for about
15 seconds. Then continue to process, lifting the hand blender almost to
the top of the liquid until mixture is thick.

STORAGE STAND / WALL BRACKETS

The Cuisinart®Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender
includes a two part storage stand that can be assembled
into a single piece for countertop use. You can also separate
the stand into two pieces, and mount one of the pieces to
your wall to use as a wall storage bracket.

Storage stand kit consists of six (6) pieces: two anchor
bolts, two plastic wall anchors, and two storage pieces that
can fit together for countertop, or be separated for wall
mount.

Countertop Option

The two storage pieces fit together. (See diagram below.)

Align the two pieces back to back on a flat surface, with the
ring-shaped reservoirs facing right and left. The raised walls should
be in the middle. Lift up the right piece; align the two tabs in the back

place. Mark the wall with a pencil in the locations indicated for screw
holes by the template. Remove the template.

With a drill, make a 3/16" starter hole for each screw. Place the plastic
anchor in each hole. Push completely into the hole with fingers, or
tap in gently with a hammer. Screw a mounting screw into each hole,
leaving 1/8" to 1/4" of the head and screw exposed.

Position the two mounting holes of the wall bracket over the screw
heads, and slide wall bracket down the wall until the bracket is resting
against the screw head, and will not slide any further. If the wall bracket
feels too loose against the wall, remove bracket, put screws further into
wall, and replace bracket.

Place the assembled hand blender into the wall bracket. The unit will
hang from the bracket, held in place by the motor body width.

The charger handle can be attached to the motor body when you store
the unit. This is especially helpful when you want the hand blender
close at hand during a heavy use period. At other times, you probably
will want to keep the charger handle plugged into the electrical
socket to assure the battery is always 100% charged.
