Cuisinart CSB-78 manual Whisking, Chopping and Grinding, Processing Food

Whisking

1.Insert the whisk attachment into the motor body. (See, page 8.)

2.Place the whisk into mixture that will be blended.

3.Press and hold the On/Off button. The hand blender will continue to run as long as the switch is pressed in. To turn hand blender off, release the On/Off button and the motor will stop.

Chopping and Grinding

Processing Food

1.Place the prep bowl firmly on a flat sturdy surface like a countertop. Be sure the blade is assembled to use the blade edge that is appropriate for the food to be pro- cessed.

2.Place food in the prep bowl. Be sure the food is cut into 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.Press the On/Off button on the hand blender.

5.Do not operate the chopper/grinder attachment for longer than 15 seconds at a time.

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 fingers off the On/Off button.

7.WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, remove the hand blender motor body from the chopper/grinder cover, and remove the cover from the chopper/grinder.

8.Carefully remove the blade assembly, holding it by the grip- ping ridges on the plastic sheath. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF.

9.Remove food with a spatula.

Note: Do not operate the chopper/grinder attachment without food contents in the prep bowl.
