IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, especially when children are present,

basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking

off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull

from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.

3. To protect against electric shock, do not put the motor body, cord

or electric plug of this hand blender in water or other liquids. The

detachable blending shaft of this appliance has been designed for

immersion into water or other liquids. Never submerge any other

portion of this unit. If hand blender falls into liquid, unplug the unit

first, then remove blender immediately.

Do not reach into the liquid without unplugging the unit first.

4. This appliance should not be used by children. To avoid possible

accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when any appliance

is used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities.

5. Avoid contact with moving parts.

6. During operation, keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and

other utensils away from the blending shaft and any mixing container

to reduce risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to the appliance.

A spatula may be used, but must be used only when the unit is

not operating.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after

the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in

any way or is not operating properly. Return the appliance to the

nearest Cuisinart Repair Centre for examination, repair, or mechanical

or electrical adjustment.

8. Remove detachable shaft from the motor body before washing the

blades or shaft.

9. Blades are SHARP. Handle carefully when removing, inserting

or cleaning the blending shaft.

10. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or mix

in small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering and

possibility of injury from burning.

11. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by

Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock, or risk of injury.

12. Do not use outdoors, or use for other than its intended use.

13. Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.

Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.

14. Make sure the appliance is off, the motor has stopped completely,

and the appliance is unplugged from outlet before putting on or

taking off the blending shaft, and before cleaning.

15. Maximum rating is based on the 300W optional food processor

attachment that draws the greatest power.

16.

Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under

a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always

unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so

could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches

the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

17. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of

experience and knowledge, unless they have been given super-

vision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a per-

son responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised

to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

18. Always disconnect the blender from the supply if it is left unattended

and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning;

19. Do not allow children to use the blender without supervision.

20. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar

The specially designed blade blends, mixes and purées all kinds

of foods, including salad dressings, thick smoothies, powdered

drink products, soups and sauces. It can also be used to emulsify

mayonnaise.

This blade is designed to add minimal air to your mixture.

A gentle up-and-down motion lets you achieve the most flavourful,

full-bodied results. Be careful never to remove the blending shaft from

the liquid while in operation.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the Smart Stick Two-Speed Hand Blender before clean-

ing. Clean 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. DO NOT USE DISHWASHER.

Never immerse the motor body in water.

If the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in

any way or is not operating properly, return the appliance to the

nearest Cuisinart Repair Centre for examination, repair or mechanical

or electrical adjustment.

TIPS AND HINTS

1. Liquid should not come closer than 2 cm from where the shaft

attaches to the motor housing.

2. When using with a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch

the coating with the edge of blender blade guard.

3. Do not immerse motor body housing in water or any other liquids.

4. Cut solid foods into 1 cm pieces for easier blending.

5. Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing cup first, unless recipe

instructs otherwise.

6. Never operate the hand blender continuously for longer than 1

minute. For best results, allow 20–30 of seconds rest time in between

1-minute cycles.

7. To avoid splatter, be sure the protective blade guard on the blending

shaft remains submerged in the liquid while blending. Never remove it

from the liquid while the motor is running.

8. Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.

9. Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending

mixture, as these are liable to damage the blades.

10. Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise

when blending, and can overflow.

11. Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with

liquids.

12. Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and

incorporate ingredients uniformly.

13. To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the

surface.

14. To purée a soup, use the hand blender to first blend the soup solids

to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-down motion right

in the saucepan or pot. You can quickly change chunky ingredients

and stock into thick and creamy soup.

15. Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
