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 motor
housing or cord in water or other liquid.
If hand mixer motor housing 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 or after the
appliance malfunctions, or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized
Cuisinart service facility for examination,
repair, mechanical or electrical adjustment.
8. The use of attachments not recom
mended 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.
11. To avoid damage to cord and possible
fire or electrocution hazard, do not let

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 con
tainer 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 and cream cheese combine
more thoroughly at room temperature.
• Remove butter for recipe first and cut into
1
⁄
2
-inch (1.25 cm) pieces, then measure out
remaining ingredients for recipe. This 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 at a
similar room temperature. While the
Cuisinart® Power Advantage™ Hand Mixer
can easily mix cold 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 of egg
whites, the mixing bowl and chef’s whisk
attachment or 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.
Note: All recipes are mixed with beaters
unless recipe specifies using chef’s whisk.
