CLEANING
SMART STICK® HAND BLENDER
Always clean the Smart Stick® motor body and blending shaft thoroughly after using.
Remove the blending shaft from the motor body. Clean the motor body only with a sponge or damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners which could scratch the surface. To clean the blending shaft, wash by hand in hot water using mild detergent.
Never immerse the motor body in water.
When the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in any way or it is not operating properly, return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
CHOPPER/GRINDER ATTACHMENT
To simplify cleaning, rinse the prep bowl, cover and blade immediately after use, so that food won’t dry onto them. Wash blade ring,
plastic sheath, and prep bowl in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
