IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, especially when children are

present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including

the following:

WARING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious injury.

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. To protect against electric shock, do not put the charger handle

or motor body of this Smart Stick®Cordless Hand Blender hand

blender in water or other liquids. The blending shaft of this

appliance, where blades are interchanged, has been designed for

submersion in water or other liquids. Never submerge any other

portion of this unit. If stick blender falls into liquid, remove

immediately. Carefully remove, clean and dry unit thoroughly

before continuing.

3. 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.

4. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable

fumes.

5. To avoid the possibility of personal injury, always unplug the unit

from the charger before attaching or removing blades and/or

attachments for cleaning or any other purpose.

6. Illuminated lights indicate unit is ready to operate. Avoid any

contact with blades or movable parts.

7. Once blender is unlocked and/or powered on, avoid any contact

with blades or moveable parts.

8. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as

well as spatulas and other utensils away from attachments and

mixing container during operation 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.

9. Remove detachable blending shaft from the power handle before

washing the blades or shaft.

10. Blades are SHARP. Handle carefully. Always handle blades with

your hand away from cutting edge. Always store blades with

cutting edge away from you.

11. When mixing liquids, use a tall container or mix small quantities at

a time to reduce spillage and possibility of injury.

12. Charger should be plugged into an electrical outlet away from sink

or hot surface.

13. Do not use an extension cord. Plug charger directly into an

electrical outlet.

14. Do not attempt to use this charger with any other product. Also,

do not attempt to charge the batteries with any other charger.

15. Do not charge batteries with charger plugged into an outdoor

outlet.

16. 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 Center for examination,

repair, or mechanical or electrical adjustment.

17. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by

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

18. Make sure the appliance is off and the motor/blade/attachment

has stopped completely before putting on or taking off attach-

ments, and before cleaning.

19. This appliance is intended for household use only and is not for

commercial or outdoor use.

20. Do not use this hand blender for other than its intended use of

preparing foods and beverages.

21. Use extra care when working with hot liquids to avoid

splattering.

22.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any

heating appliance beneath or near the mounted charging handle

unit.

23. Do not mount or store unit over or near a portion of a heating or

cooking appliance, or a sink or washbasin.

24. Unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any routine

cleaning of the charger.

25. Do not operate a damaged charger. Have damaged charger

replaced immediately.

26. Do not incinerate the hand blender, even if it is severely

damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.

27.

This product contains lithium batteries which must be recycled at

the end of the life of the hand blender and disposed of properly.

(See Disposal/Recycling of Batteries, page 29.) Do not incinerate

or compost batteries, as they will explode at high temperature.

28. Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme conditions. If

the liquid gets on the skin, (1) wash quickly with soap and water

or (2) neutralize with mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. If

the liquid gets into eyes, flush them immediately with clean

water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention.

29. Prevent unintentional starting. Never press the Auto Lock/Unlock

switch on the power handle while pressing the Power On switch

OPERATION

TURNING CORDLESS HAND BLENDER

ON/OFF

The power handle lets you operate the blender and whisk. Keep

hands, hair, clothing and other utensils away from all blades.

BLENDING AND MIXING

The blending shaft is specially designed for mixing and stirring

all kinds of foods, including salad dressings, smoothies, shakes,

powdered drink products, soups and sauces. It is ideal for combining

dry ingredients, and can also be used to make mayonnaise. The

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 thoroughly

blend the most flavorful, full-bodied liquid recipes. To avoid splat-

ter, be sure the protective blade guard on the blending shaft remains

submerged in the liquid while blending. Never remove it from liquid

while the motor is running.

Insert the blending attachment into the power handle. (See Assembly

for Blending Attachment, page 7.) Insert blending shaft into mixture to

be blended. Press and hold the Auto Lock/Unlock button and press

and Power On button to turn motor on. Once motor is on, you can

release the Auto Lock/Unlock button. You can also press the Power

On button first, holding it down as you press the Auto Lock/Unlock

button to turn motor on. Do not hold Power On button down for more

than 2 minutes at a time. To turn the blender motor off, release the

Power On button.

WHISKING

1. Make sure the whisk is attached to the gearbox before attaching it

to the power handle (see page 7). Insert the whisk into the mixture

to be whipped and turn unit on.

2. Begin whisking at Speed 1, gradually increasing speed to avoid

splatters.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

HAND BLENDER

Always clean the power handle and blending shaft thoroughly after

using. Remove the blending shaft from the power handle. Clean the

power handle only with a sponge or damp cloth. Do not use abrasive

cleaners that could scratch the surface. To clean the blending shaft,

wash by hand in hot water using a mild detergent. Be mindful of the

fixed razor-sharp edges. The blending shaft is NOT dishwasher safe.

WHISK

To clean the whisk attachment, simply release the attachment

from the power handle. Once the whisk is removed, detach

the metal whisk from the gearbox by pulling the pieces apart. To clean

the gearbox, simply wipe with a damp cloth. To clean the metal

whisk, wash with warm, soapy water or put in the dishwasher.

Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquids.

TIPS AND HINTS

FOR HAND BLENDER

• Be sure the protective blade guard on the blending shaft is fully

submerged before blending ingredients.

• To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup ingredients

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

directly in the saucepan or pot.

• When blending ingredients in a pot or pan, tilt the pan away from

you to create a deeper area for blending and to prevent splatter.

• If blending a small volume of liquid, tilt the container slightly for

better results.

• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch

the coating with the hand blender.

• When blending in the beaker – for example, if making a fruit

smoothie – cut firmer fruit into ½-inch pieces for easy blending.

• When blending in the beaker, put harder ingredients in first, then soft

ingredients. Finish with any liquid you want to add, unless recipe

instructs otherwise.

• Liquid should not come closer than 1 inch of where the shaft

attaches to the power handle.

• The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or

lattes. Just warm milk in a small saucepan, and then pulse the hand

blender gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully

submerged.

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

• Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones or other hard materials, as

these are likely to damage the blades.

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

when blending and can overflow.

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

surface.

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

incorporate ingredients uniformly.

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

• Do not immerse power handle in water or any other liquids.

FOR WHISK ATTACHMENT

• Do not immerse whisk attachment gearbox in water or any other liquids.

• Use the whisk attachment for whipping heavy cream or egg whites.

• When whipping egg whites, use a very clean metal or glass bowl,

never plastic. Plastic can contain hidden oils and fats that can ruin the

delicate egg white foam. To help stabilize the egg whites, add

teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg white prior to whipping them.

(If using a copper bowl, omit the cream of tartar.) Whip the egg whites

until desired peaks form.

• Whipping the egg whites too long causes them to dry out and become

less stable.

• When adding sugar to whipping egg whites to make a meringue, add it

slowly, when soft peaks just begin to form, and then continue whipping

to form desired peaks.

• When whipping heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a chilled

bowl and chill the whisk attachment. The best-shaped bowl for

whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom to minimize

any splatter.

• The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping.

Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks, depending

on preference. It may be flavored as desired. For best results, whip

cream just before using.

• It may also be used for any task that you would normally whisk by

hand, like crêpe batters or eggs for omelets.
