Cuisinart CSB-55 manual Hand Blender Operation, Helpful Hints

Tips:

1.Immediately after blending, rinse the entire shaft before mixtures dry. This will make the unit easier to clean.

2.Clean by running under faucet, or putting in top shelf of dishwasher.

Making the Shaft Shorter.

1.Rotate the Shaft Adjustment Ring to the left (counterclockwise) to loosen the shaft. This will be about a one quarter turn. Do not overturn.

2.Retract the shaft to the desired length by pushing on the lower end of the shaft. Do not grab the blender blade.

3.When the shaft is totally retracted, rotate the Shaft Adjustment Ring to the right to tighten the shaft. Do not over tighten or you may damage the threads on the shaft.

Helpful Hints.

1.	Cut most solid foods into 1/2" cubes for easy blending. Suggestion: use
	Chopper Grinder for chopping and grinding solid foods.
2.	Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing container first unless recipe
	instructs otherwise.
3.	To avoid splashing, do not pull the Hand Blender out of the mixture while
	it is running.
4.	Do not let Hand Blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
5.	To prevent splashing, don’t turn the Hand Blender on until the blade is
	beneath the surface of the mixture.

HAND BLENDER OPERATION

Turning SmartStick™ Extendable Shaft Hand Blender ON/OFF:

Keep hands, hair, clothing, and other utensils away from blending blade.

1.Plug electrical cord into an electrical wall socket.

If a wall switch controls current to the socket, be sure the switch is ON.

2.Adjust Speed Setting.

Rotate the Speed Setting Lever clockwise to increase speed, counter- clockwise to decrease speed. Speeds increase from left to right with Speed 1 being the slowest, and Speed 4 the fastest.

6.	Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending
	mixture as these are liable to damage the blades.
7.	Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when
	blending and can overflow.
8.	Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with
	liquids.
9.	For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for best

results.
