SHAFT LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

Your SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft Hand Blender has a shaft that extends up
to 2 additional inches. This feature was developed with two major benefits in
mind. One benefit is that you can mix and blend in tall pots, pitchers, glasses
or other mixing containers. This makes the SmartStick™ Hand Blender
more useful than other Hand Blenders.

The second goal is comfort. You may find that using this appliance is more
comfortable to hold with the shaft extended, even if you do not require the
longer shaft for blending.

Making the Shaft Longer.

It will be easier to adjust the shaft length when it is attached to the Hand
Blender. Follow these steps to adjust:

1. Hold the SmartStick™ Hand Blender firmly with both hands.
Hold the main body securely in one hand.

2. With the other hand rotate the Shaft Adjustment Ring to the left
(counterclockwise) to loosen the shaft. This will be about a one quarter
turn. Do not overturn.

3. Extend the shaft to the desired length by pulling on the lower end of the
shaft. The shaft can be adjusted up to 2 inches. When you have reached
the maximum possible length of the shaft, you will feel resistance. Do not
pull any further.

4. When you have located the most desirable length, rotate the Shaft
Adjustment Ring to the right (clockwise) to tighten the shaft. Do not over­tighten as you may damage the threads on the shaft.

5. You are ready to use the SmartStick™ Hand Blender with shaft extended.

Note: After blending, rinse the shaft including the extended segment.

7

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Place the package containing the Cuisinart SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft
Hand Blender on a sturdy surface. Unpack the SmartStick™ from its box by
removing the upper protective insert. Gently slide the unit from the box.
Remove all support materials from the box and replace the upper insert. Save
packaging for possible repacking of the unit.

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.

Before using the Cuisinart

®

SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft 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 each individual blade attachment, mixing container
and detachable shaft by hand or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before
use. Read all instructions completely for detailed operating procedures.

HAND BLENDER ASSEMBLY

Note: To avoid possibility of personal injury always be sure to unplug
the power cord from electrical wall socket before attaching or removing
blades and/or attachments.

A. Attach blade or whipping disc to blender shaft.

For your safety, always detach the shaft from 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.

Once properly aligned, slide the blade/disc onto the stem and push
firmly into position. To ensure that the blade/disc is securely in place,
carefully press the center end of each attachment back toward the shaft.

It is important to properly secure the blade/disc to prevent separation
during use. Do not begin operating Cuisinart SmartStick™ Hand
Blender until the desired blade/disc is secured!

B. Attach detachable

blender shaft to
motor control body.

Align blender shaft with the
motor body as shown in
illustration. Slide the pieces
together till you hear and
feel the pieces click together.
It may be helpful to
press the release button
when assembling.

3. Adjust Shaft Length.

Only adjust if longer shaft length is needed for tall pots or pitchers.
See Shaft Length Adjustment, page 7.

4. Press and hold ON/OFF switch to turn appliance ON.

The SmartStick™ Hand Blender will continue to run as long as the
switch is pressed in. To turn Hand Blender off, release ON/OFF switch
and the motor will stop.

5. Unplug immediately after use.

Helpful Hints.

1. Cut most solid foods into 1/2" cubes for easy blending. Suggestion: use
Chopper Grinder for chopping and grinding solid foods.

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
it 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 blades.

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.

9

Tips:

1. Immediately after blending, rinse the entire shaft before mixtures dry. This
will make the unit easier to clean.

2. Clean by running under faucet, or putting in top shelf of dishwasher.

Making the Shaft Shorter.

1. Rotate the Shaft Adjustment Ring to the left (counterclockwise) to loosen
the shaft. This will be about a one quarter turn. Do not overturn.

2. Retract the shaft to the desired length by pushing on the lower end of the
shaft. Do not grab the blender blade.

3. When the shaft is totally retracted, rotate the Shaft Adjustment Ring to
the right to tighten the shaft. Do not over tighten or you may damage the
threads on the shaft.

HAND BLENDER OPERATION

Turning SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft Hand Blender ON/OFF:

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

1. Plug electrical cord into an electrical wall socket.

If a wall switch controls current to the socket, be sure the switch is ON.

2. Adjust Speed Setting.

Rotate the Speed Setting Lever clockwise to increase speed, counter­clockwise to decrease speed. Speeds increase from left to right with

Use Speeds 1 and 2 for whipping with the whipping disc.

The Whipping attachment is specially designed to add air and volume to
mixtures. Perfect for aerating egg whites and cream, this attachment adds
air that 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 SmartStick™
Hand Blender in the bottom of the container and turn it on for about
15 seconds. Then continue to process, gently lifting the Hand Blender
almost to the top of the liquid until the mixture is thick.

STORAGE STAND / WALL BRACKETS

The SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft 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
on 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 use or
separate 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 with the two slots of the left
piece. Gently slide the tabs into the slots until both pieces are resting flat on
the countertop.

To store SmartStick™ Hand Blender, detach the shaft and place the bottom
part (blade guard) into one of the reservoirs. Place the motor body (right side
up) into the other reservoir. You should be able to read the SmartStick™
logo, when the motor body is in the stand.

11

ATTACHMENTS:

(A) BLENDING / MIXING / CHOPPING / MINCING BLADE

Always use Speeds 3 and 4 when blending, mixing, chopping and puréeing
with the metal blade.

Blending & Mixing.

The specially designed blade is for mixing and stirring all kinds of foods,
including salad dressings, powdered drink products, and sauces. It is ideal for
combining dry ingredients, and can be used to emulsify mayonnaise too.

This blade mixes and stirs while adding only a minimum of air to your mixture.
A gentle up-and-down motion is all you need to make the most flavorful, full­bodied liquid recipes. Be careful never to remove the Cuisinart

®

SmartStick™

Extendable Shaft Hand Blender from the liquid while in operation.

Chopping & Mixing.

This blade also chops and purées cooked fruits, vegetables, baby foods, and
cooked meats/poultry. To chop or mince, always cut food into uniform pieces
of 1/2" to ensure perfect results. Keep the Cuisinart

®

SmartStick™
Extendable Shaft Hand Blender directly over the food being processed, while
placing a free hand on the mixing container for support. You may wish to
place your free hand over the top of the container to prevent chopped ingre­dients from escaping. Use a forceful up-and-down motion when chopping
and blending. This allows the blade to process the food more efficiently.

NOTE: If a piece of food becomes lodged in the guard surrounding the
blade, follow the safety instructions below:

1. Release the power button and unplug the electrical cord from the

wall socket.

2. After the power source is disconnected, use a spatula to carefully remove

the food lodged in the guard. Avoid injury. Do not use your fingers to

remove lodged objects.

3. After the lodged food has been removed you may plug the electrical cord

into the wall socket and continue blending.

NOTE: The maximum rating is based on the Blending Blade attachment
that draw the greatest load (power or current) and that other recommended
attachments may draw significantly less power or current.

Mini Chopper Grinder Storage.

The SmartStick™ Mini Prep®Chopper Grinder Attachment stores neatly on
the countertop in a minimum of space. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss
of parts. Store the blades as you would sharp knives—out of reach of children.

Chopper Grinder Parts and Assembly

Reversible Blade.

The Cuisinart SmartStick™ Mini Prep®Chopper Grinder attachment is
equipped with a reversible blade. This blade is sharp on one side and blunt
on the other. The blade is attached to a plastic ring which slides over the
blade assembly shaft, so it can be easily turned over to select the appropriate
blade. A guide for proper blade selection follows in the section, Chopper

Grinder Tips for Processing Foods.

Before you process any food, assemble the parts.

1. Place the Prep Bowl on a flat, dry, stable surface. It should be close to an
electrical outlet of the same voltage as stated on the rating plate on the
SmartStick™ Hand Blender.

13

The counter storage unit can be placed in a cupboard or on a shelf if not on
the counter.

Wall Mount Option

Separate the two plastic storage stand pieces. You will need only one for wall
mount. (See diagrams below). The unit you must use is the section that has
the round storage hole to hold the whipping disk.

When selecting a mounting location, be sure to leave enough room above the
storage stand for your hand to remove the SmartStick™ Hand Blender. Also be
sure to leave enough room below the stand to allow the appliance to hang freely.

You will need to drill two holes 2 5/8" apart from each other, measured from
the center of each hole. To assist in proper location of holes for the mounting
screws, remove the wall mount template from this instruction book. Place the
template over the back of the wall unit, aligning the outline of the template
with the wall bracket. When you have done this, place the template and wall
bracket against the wall in the desired location. Remove the wall bracket,
leaving the template in place. Mark the wall with a pencil in the locations for
screw holes indicated 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 SmartStick™ Hand Blender into the wall
bracket. The unit will hang from the bracket, held in place by

of the Plastic Blade Sheath. Let the Blade Ring slide down to the bot­tom of the Plastic Blade Sheath. The lower blade should almost touch
the bottom of the Prep Bowl.

Lift the Prep Bowl, holding it firmly from the bottom. Pick up the Blade
Ring by its hub holding ribs (grips) and turn it very slightly clockwise.
This locks it in place on the Plastic Blade Sheath and prevents it from
sliding up during processing.

3. Connect the SmartStick™ Hand Blender
Motor Body to the top of the Chopper
Grinder Attachment Cover. Align the spline
in the Chopper Grinder Cover’s drive shaft
with the ribbed opening on the underside of
the motor body. When aligned properly, slide
the two pieces together until they mate. You
will feel and hear a slight click. It may be
helpful to press the rubber release button
when sliding these pieces together.

4. With the Hand Blender in place, locate the
Chopper Grinder cover and place it on top of
the prep bowl.

4a. Be sure that the 3 ridges at the top of the

Blade Assembly line up with the 3-arm
propeller gear in the underside of the chopper grinder cover, and that
the cover is seated all around the top of the prep bowl.

4b.To properly seat the cover you must line up the three molded pins from

the cover with the 3 slots at the top of the Prep Bowl. Rotate cover
counterclockwise to secure it to the prep bowl. Rotate the cover until
the pins are in the far left position in the slots.

15

2. The metal blade assembly shaft is attached to the bottom of the Prep
Bowl. If not already in place, slide the fully assembled Blade Assembly over
the top of the blade assembly shaft.

2a. Putting together the Blade Assembly:

Connect the Blade Ring (F) to the Plastic Blade Sheath (G). Line up the
blade ring opening with the plastic sheath. Let the blade ring slide to the
bottom of the plastic sheath. HOLD THE BLADE RING BY THE
CENTRAL HUB HOLDING RIBS (grips)(K) ONLY. DO NOT
TOUCH THE RAZOR SHARP BLADES.

Note these important features of the Blade Ring. The Blade Ring can be
placed over the Plastic Blade Sheath in two different ways:

If you hold it this way (A), you will see the word “Sharp” on the blade.
Assemble the blade this side up to use the sharp edge. (see the section on
processing food for information about when to use the sharp edge.)

If you hold it this way (B), you will see no writing on the blade. Assemble
the blade this side up to use the blunt edge. (See the section on processing
food for information about when to use the blunt edge.)

There are notches (C) on opposite sides of the interior of the hub. These
fit over ridges on the sides of the Plastic Blade Sheath.

Pick up the Blade Ring by its hub holding ribs (grips) and line up the
notches in the interior of the Blade Ring hub with the ridges on the sides

Pulse action:

Use pulse action to prevent overprocessing. To coarsely chop, two or three
pulses are often enough. Be sure to check the food frequently to prevent
overprocessing.

Continuous-hold action:

Continuous-hold action is best when you want to finely chop or mince food.
For some very hard foods, it is best to pulse several times and then run
continuously to reach the desired consistency.

When you operate the unit for more than 10 seconds, use a pulse action
every 10 seconds or so to allow food to drop to the bottom of the Prep Bowl.
This provides more consistent results.

Never operate the Chopper Grinder continuously for longer than 1
minute at a time.

Note: The Prep Bowl may become scratched when you use it for grinding

coffee, grain and spices. This does not affect the performance of the
SmartStick™ Mini Prep

®

Chopper Grinder.

Adding Liquid:

You cannot add liquids such as water, oil or flavoring while the machine is
running. You will need to stop the Hand Blender, remove the lid, add liquid
and then replace the lid before continuing to process.

Removing Food from the Sides of the Bowl:

Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process. Stop the
machine to clear it away. AFTER THE BLADE HAS STOPPED
MOVING, remove the cover, and use a small spatula to scrape the food
from the sides of the bowl back into the center.

Reversing the Blade in the Middle of a Processing Task:

While preparing some recipes, you may want to switch the blade from sharp
to blunt or vice versa.

1. Unplug the SmartStick™ Hand Blender.

2. Remove the Hand Blender Motor Body from the Chopper Grinder
Attachment.

3. Remove the cover from the Prep Bowl.

4. Lift the Plastic Sheath by its gripping ridges and remove the Blade
Assembly. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF.

5. Remove the contents of the bowl to another container.

6. Carefully remove the Blade Ring, holding it by its Central Hub Holding
Ribs. Turn blade upside down and reinsert it on the Sheath.

7. Insert the Plastic Sheath over the central opening of the empty bowl.

8. Insert the food to be processed.

9. Replace the cover, locking it into place.

17

5. Plug the power cord of the SmartStick™ Hand Blender into an electrical
outlet.

6. Place one hand on the cover of the Chopper Grinder attachment while grip­ping the SmartStick™ Hand Blender motor body handle with the other.
Select the appropriate speed on the speed control, then press the ON/OFF
button with your thumb to start the motor and run the chopper grinder. To
turn the unit off, remove your thumb from the ON/OFF button.

7. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, unplug the SmartStick™
Hand Blender, remove the motor body from the chopper grinder cover,
and remove the cover from the Prep Bowl.

8. Disassembling the Blade Assembly Lift the Plastic Blade Sheath.
Holding the Blade Ring stationary (using the Central Hub Holding Ribs)
carefully turn the Plastic Sheath clockwise, then guide the Blade Ring up
over the Plastic Sheath.

CHOPPER GRINDER TIPS for
PROCESSING FOOD

Preparing the Food

Size:

Always cut food into pieces of even size - about 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6-12mm) to
a side. If you don’t start with pieces that are small and uniform, you will not
get an even chop.

Quantity:

Do not overload the Prep Bowl. Overloading causes inconsistent results
and it strains the motor. Use the quantities given in the chart on page 19
as a guide.

Selecting the Right Blade Edge:

Use the sharp edge for chopping, puréeing and mixing. It is the right choice,
for example, for chopping soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions,
garlic, nuts, chocolate and most cheeses. It is also the right choice for
puréeing cooked vegetables and mixing salad dressing.

For some foods, use the blunt edge. Try the sharp blade first. If not satisfied
with results, try the blunt blade for grinding coffee beans and spices, and for
chopping hard food such as peppercorns and seeds.

Selecting the Right Operating Speed:

Always use Speed 4 with the Chopper Grinder.
Note: Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, Cuisinart recom-

mends using both hands to support the SmartStick™ Mini Prep

®

Chopper
Grinder during operation. Place one hand on the SmartStick™ Hand
Blender control handle to operate the unit. With the other hand, grasp the
round top of the Chopper Grinder attachment and apply downward pressure
on the entire unit to prevent it from moving.

16

Operating Techniques:

Chop, grind, and purée small amounts of food with the SmartStick™ Mini
Prep

®

Chopper Grinder attachment. This table lists a number of ingredients in

alphabetical order, and shows the recommended method of processing for each.

Speed 3 or Speed 4 should always be used with the Chopper Grinder
Attachment. Use the sharp blade for most chopping tasks.

19

10. Connect the Hand Blender motor body to the Chopper Grinder

Attachment.

11. Plug the SmartStick™ Hand Blender into the electrical outlet and

continue processing.

Processing Food

1. Place the Prep Bowl firmly on a flat sturdy surface like a countertop. Be

sure the blade is assembled using the blade edge that is appropriate for
the food to be processed.

2. Place food in the Prep Bowl. Be sure the food is cut in small pieces, and

the bowl is not overloaded.

3. Place the Chopper Grinder cover on top of the prep bowl. Be sure the

cover is properly seated.

4. Select Speed 4 on the SmartStick™ Hand Blender Speed Control.

5. Press the ON/OFF button on the SmartStick™ Hand Blender Speed

Control to run the Chopper Grinder.

Note: Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, Cuisinart
recommends using one hand to support the Chopper Grinder
during operation.

6. When you have finished processing the food, stop the machine by taking

your thumb or finger off the ON/OFF button.

7. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, remove the SmartStick™

Hand Blender motor body from the Chopper Grinder cover, and remove
the cover from the Chopper Grinder.

8. Unplug the unit.

9. Carefully remove the Blade Assembly, holding it by the gripping ridges

on the Plastic Sheath. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF.

10. Remove food with the spatula.
Note: Do not operate the SmartStick™ Chopper Grinder attachment

without food contents in the Prep Bowl.

CLEANING:
Smartstick™ Hand Blender

Always clean the SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft Hand Blender
thoroughly after using.

Remove the shaft with the blade from the motor body. The shaft with the
blade and the mixing/measuring beaker can be cleaned in the dishwasher, or
by hand in hot water with a mild detergent. It is not necessary to remove the
blade from the shaft.

Clean the motor body with a sponge or damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive
cleansers which could scratch the surface.

Never immerse the motor body in water.

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

Suggestion: When processing foods with color (like carrots), the plastic parts
of the appliance can become discolored. Wipe these parts with cooking oil
before cleaning them with a mild detergent.

SmartStick™ Mini Prep®Chopper Grinder
Attachment

To simplify cleaning, rinse the Prep Bowl, cover and blade immediately after
use, so that food won’t dry onto them. Wash Blade Ring, Plastic Sheath, and
Prep Bowl in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe the underside of the
Chopper Grinder cover with a sponge or damp cloth to remove any food. Do
not submerge the cover in water or place in the dishwasher. Wash the blade
carefully. Avoid leaving it in soapy water where it may disappear from sight.

If you have a dishwasher, you can wash the Prep Bowl Blade Assembly on the
upper shelf. Insert the Prep Bowl upside down. Put the blade in the
cutlery basket. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid contact with the
sharp blade. Wipe the motor body and top of the cover with a damp sponge
or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the motor body or the cover in
water or other liquid.
