IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the charger handle
or motor body of this hand blender in water or other liquid. The
drive shaft of this appliance, where blades are interchanged, has
been designed for submersion in water or other liquids. Never
submerge any other portion of this unit. If hand blender falls
into liquid, remove immediately. Carefully remove, clean and dry
unit thoroughly before continuing.

3. This appliance should not be used by children. To avoid possible
accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when any appliance
is used by or near children.

4. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

5. To avoid possibility of personal injury, always detach the charger

handle from the motor body before attaching or removing
blades and/or attachments.

6. Unplug charger handle from outlet when not in use, before putting
on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

7. Avoid contacting moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well
as spatulas and other utensils away from attachments and mixing
container during operation to reduce risk of injury to persons,
and/or damage to the appliance. A spatula may be used, but must
be used only when the unit is not operating.

8. Remove detachable shaft from the blender before washing the
blades or shaft.

9. Blades and accessory attachments are SHARP. Handle carefully.

10. When mixing liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities
at a time to reduce spillage and possibility of injury.

11. Charger handle should be plugged into an electrical outlet away

from sink or hot surfaces.

12. Do not use an extension cord. Plug charger handle directly into an

electrical outlet.

13. Do not attempt to use this charger handle with any other product.

Also, do not attempt to charge the batteries with any other charger.

14. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

15. Do not charge batteries with handle charger plugged into an

outdoor outlet.

16. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or

after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or
damaged in any way, or is not operating properly. Return the
appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination,
repair, or mechanical or electrical adjustment.

17. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by

Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock or risk of injury.

18. Make sure the appliance is "OFF" and the motor has stopped

completely before putting on or taking off attachments, and
before cleaning.

19. This appliance is intended for household use only and not for
commercial or industrial use.

20. Do not use this hand blender for other than intended use of
preparing foods and beverages.

21. Use care when stirring hot liquids, to avoid splattering.

22. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any
heating appliance beneath the mounted charging handle unit.

23. Do not mount the storage bracket/unit over or near any portion
of a heating or cooking appliance, or a sink or wash basin.

24. Unplug the charger handle from the outlet before attempting any
routine cleaning of the charger handle.

25. Do not operate a damaged charger. Have damaged charger
replaced immediately.

26. Do not incinerate the hand blender, even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.

27. This product contains nickel cadmium batteries which must
be recycled at the end of the life of the hand blender and
disposed of properly. (See Disposal / Recycling of Batteries.)
Do not incinerate or compost batteries, as they will explode at
high temperatures.

28. Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If the
liquid, which is a 20-35% solution of potassium hydroxide, gets on
the skin, (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize
with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets
into eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum
of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.

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
convenient stick blender you ever own. Built with the same expertise
that made the Cuisinart
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!
