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 risk of electrical
shock, do not put the hand mixer or
cord in water or other liquid. If hand
mixer or cord falls into liquid, unplug
the cord from outlet immediately.
Do not reach into the liquid.
3. 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.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as
spatulas and other utensils away from
beaters during operation to reduce
risk of injury to persons, and/or
damage to the mixer.
6. Remove beaters from the mixer
before washing.
7. Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized
Cuisinart service facility for examination, repair, or mechanical or electrical
adjustment.
8. The use of attachments not
recommended by Cuisinart may
cause fire, electrical shock, or risk
of injury.
9. Do not use outdoors or anywhere
the cord or mixer might come into
contact with water while in use.
10. To avoid possibility of mixer being
accidentally pulled off work area,
which could result in damage to the
mixer or in personal injury, do not
let cord hang over edge of table or
counter.

RECIPES
Mixing Tips
• Always read entire recipe and measure
all ingredients before beginning the
mixing process.
• For best results, do not measure flour
directly from the bag. Pour into a
container or bowl, scoop out the flour
and level with the back of a knife or
spatula. For flour stored in a container,
stir before measuring.
• Eggs, butter or cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature.
• Remove butter for recipe first and cut
into ½-inch pieces, then measure out
remaining ingredients for recipe. This
4
will hasten the warming process. Do not
warm butter for baking in a microwave
unless instructed to do so. Microwaving
can melt butter; melted butter will change
the final product.
• The best cheesecakes are made when the
eggs and cream cheese are a similar room
temperature. While the Cuisinart
Advantage

Hand Mixer can easily mix cold
®
Power
cream cheese, the trick is not to add too
much air, which can cause cracking.
• For best results, use heavy cream, cold
from the refrigerator, for whipped cream.
• For best results, whip egg whites in a
spotlessly clean stainless steel or glass
mixing bowl. If available, use a copper
mixing bowl. Chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, etc. can be added using
speeds 1 or 2 of your hand mixer.
• To separate eggs for any recipe, break
one at a time into a small bowl, gently
remove yolk, then transfer egg white to
spotlessly clean mixing bowl. If a yolk
breaks into the egg white, reserve that
egg for another use. Just a drop of
egg yolk will prevent the whites from
whipping properly.
• To achieve the highest volume when
whipping egg whites, the mixing bowl
and beaters must be spotlessly clean
and free of any fat, oil, etc. (Plastic bowls
are not recommended for whipping egg
whites.) The presence of any trace of
fat or oil will prevent the egg whites
from increasing in volume. Wash bowl
and attachments thoroughly before
beginning again.
• Occasionally ingredients may stick to
the sides of the mixing bowl. When this
occurs, turn mixer off and scrape the
sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
