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!

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.
