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 motor body, cord or electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other liquid. The detachable blending shaft of this appliance has been designed for immersion into water or other liquids. Never submerge any other portion of this unit. If hand blender falls into liquid, remove immediately. Do not reach into the liquid without

unplugging the unit first.

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. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or

taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.

5. Avoid contacting with moving parts.

6. During operation keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from attachments and any mixing container, 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.

7. 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.

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

Blades are SHARP. Handle carefully when removing, inserting

or cleaning. Exercise the same care when removing, inserting or reversing the cutting blade for the chopper attachment.

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

11. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopper/grinder attachment cutting blade on base without first putting prep bowl properly in place.

12. Be certain the chopper/grinder attachment cover is securely locked in place before operating appliance. Do not attempt to remove cover until blade has stopped rotating.

13. Check prep bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.

14. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.

15. Do not use outdoors, or use for other than intended use.

16. Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.

17. Make sure the appliance is off, the motor has stopped completely, and the appliance is unplugged from outlet before putting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning.

18. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not operate any heating appliance beneath the mounting unit.

19. Maximum rating of 200W is based on the chopper/grinder attachment that draws the greatest power.

Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall

20.

cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

WHISK TIPS

Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites. It may also be used for whisking eggs for scrambled eggs or fluffy omelets.

BEATING EGG WHITES

When beating egg whites use a very clean metal or glass bowl, never plastic. Plastic can contain hidden oils and fats that can ruin the delicate egg white foam. To help stabilize the egg whites add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg white prior to beating them. (If using a copper bowl omit the cream of tartar.) Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form that do not droop. Beating the egg whites longer causes them to dry out and become even less stable. When adding sugar to beaten egg whites add it slowly when soft peaks just begin to form and then continue beating to form soft peaks that don’t droop.

BEATING HEAVY CREAM

When beating heavy cream, if possible and if time allows, use a chilled bowl, and chill the whisk attachment. The best shaped bowl for whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom. The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping. Hold the whisk attachment so that it is just skimming the surface, and whip until the cream begins to thicken and develop some body; then immerse the whisk totally into the cream. Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks depending on preference. It may be flavored as desired. For best results, whip cream just before using.

If it must be whipped ahead, add a whipped cream stabilizer such as

REVERSIBLE BLADE

The Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender 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 plastic blade sheath, so it can be easily turned over to select the appropriate blade. To reverse the blade: see detailed instructions below. Frequent Uses for Chopper/Grinder (page 15).

Before you process any food, assemble the blender parts.

1. Put 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 Smart Stick

Hand

Blender.

2. The metal blade assembly shaft (C) is attached to the bottom of the prep bowl. If not already in place, slide the fully assembled

(E)

blade assembly

over the top of

the metal 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.

BLUNT SIDE UP

SHARP SIDE

K-NOTCH

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 Smart Stick

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 put it on top of the prep bowl.

4a. Be sure that the 3 ridges

(cover slots) at the top of the prep bowl line up with the

Motor

Body Bottom and

Chopper/Grinder Cover Top View

3- knotches in the underside of the chopper/grinder cover, and that the cover is seated all around the top of the prep bowl.

4b. Rotate cover clockwise to

secure it to the prep bowl.

5. Plug the power cord of the Smart Stick® Hand Blender into an electrical outlet.

6. Put one hand on the cover of the chopper/grinder attachment, while gripping the Smart Stick

Hand Blender motor body handle with the other. Press the High or Low button with your fingers to start the motor and run the chopper/grinder.

To turn the unit off, remove your fingers from the selected button.

7. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, unplug the Smart Stick Hand Blender, remove the motor body from the chopper/grinder cover, and remove the cover from the prep bowl.

WHISK ATTACHMENT

1. Align the end of the whisk (A) with the small opening of the whisk gearbox (B).

2. Push end into opening until it locks into position (C).

3. Align the motor body with the assembled whisk attachment and slide the pieces together until you hear and feel the pieces click together. It may be helpful to press the release button when assembling.
