CHARGING PROCEDURES

When brand new, the Cuisinart® Smart Stick PLUS® Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender is not fully charged. Plug the charger handle into the electrical socket and leave it plugged in for 24 hours to ensure maximum operating capability. For best performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery 3 times before first use.

TO CHARGE

Detach charger handle from motor body. Turn charger handle upside down. Using the thumb grip on the underside of the charger handle, push down slightly and slide the plug as far as it will go until it is fully exposed and extending from the handle housing (see illustration). Plug the prongs into a wall outlet. The batteries will begin charging. The charging light will be illuminated.

CONTINUOUS CHARGING

The unit is designed so that the batteries may remain on continuous charge. It is recommended that the Cuisinart® Smart Stick PLUS® Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender charger be kept plugged into a wall socket to charge, so that it will always be ready to use. Leaving the unit on continuous charge is very inexpensive in terms of the amount of electricity being used.

HOLDING THE CHARGE

The batteries will keep most of their charge even when not plugged in. The batteries will lose approximately 20% of their total charge per month if they are not plugged in and charging.

SHORT RUN TIMES

If after repeated use the run time seems to get shorter and the hand blender has less power, it may not be the result of a faulty unit. This condition can be remedied by allowing the Cuisinart® Smart Stick PLUS® Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender to run until it stops. Then recharge the unit for 24 hours for a new charge. This procedure improves the batteries’ capacity. You may need to repeat this a few times for the best results.

CHARGING LIGHT

The charging light on the tip of the handle glows when the unit is charging. This light will be illuminated even when the batteries are fully charged. If the unit does not function, make sure that the charger handle is securely plugged into the outlet, and check to see if the outlet is controlled by a wall switch. Also, check for a blown house fuse. Note that if this light is on, the charger is operating.

STORAGE STAND / WALL BRACKETS

The Cuisinart® Smart Stick PLUS® Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender includes a two-part storage stand that can be assembled into a single piece for countertop use. You can also separate the stand into two pieces, and mount one of the pieces to your wall to use as a wall storage bracket.

Storage stand kit consists of six (6) pieces: two anchor bolts, two plastic wall anchors, and two storage pieces that can fit together for countertop, or be separated for wall mount.

COUNTERTOP OPTION

The two storage pieces fit together. (See diagram above)

Align the two pieces back to back on a flat surface, with the ring-shaped reservoirs facing right and left. The raised walls should be in the middle. Lift up the right piece; align the two tabs in the back with the two slots of the left piece. Gently slide the tabs into the slots until both pieces are resting flat on the countertop.

To store the hand blender, detach the shaft and place the bottom part (blade guard) into one of the reservoirs. Place the motor body (right side up) into the other reservoir. You should be able to read the Cuisinart logo when the motor body is in the stand.

The charger handle can be attached to the motor body when you store the unit. This is especially helpful when you want the hand blender close at hand during a period of heavy use. Plug the charger handle into the electrical socket to keep the battery charged during other times. The counter storage unit can also be placed in a cupboard or on a shelf.
