OPERATION

BLENDING

Blending & Mixing

The specially designed blade is for mixing and stirring all kinds of foods, including salad dressings, powdered drink products, and sauces. It is ideal for combining dry ingredients, and can be used to emulsify mayonnaise, too.

This blade mixes and stirs while adding only a minimum of air to your mixture. A gentle up-and-down motion is all you need to make the most flavourful, full-bodied liquid recipes. Be careful never to remove the Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender from the liquid while in operation.

1.Insert the blending attachment into the motor body. (See Assembly for Blending Attachment, page 8.)

2.Plug electrical cord into an electrical wall socket.

3.Place blending shaft into mixture that will be blended.

4.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.

5.Do not hold the button ON for longer than 50 seconds at a time.

6.Unplug immediately after use.

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 processed.

2.Place food in the prep bowl. Be sure the food is cut in 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 Smart Stick® 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 Smart Stick® Hand Blender motor body from the chopper/grinder cover, and remove the cover from the chopper/grinder.

8.Unplug the unit.

9.Carefully remove the blade assembly, holding it by the gripping ridges on the plastic sheath. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF.

10.Remove food with the spatula.

Note: Do not operate the Smart Stick® Chopper/Grinder attachment without food contents in the prep bowl.

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 Centre 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.
