IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put motor
base, cord or plug in water or other liquid. The drive shaft of
this appliance has been designed for submersion into water or
other liquids. Never submerge any other portion of this unit.
2. This appliance should not be used by children. Care should be
taken when used near children.
3. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
4. Keep hands, hair, clothing, and utensils away from blade and
mixing container while operating the Quick Prep®Hand
Blender to prevent the possibility of severe 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. Avoid
contact with moving parts.
5. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Cuisinart®
authorized service facility for examination, repair, electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
6. The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold
by Cuisinart for this specific model may result in fire, electric
shock or personal injury.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stove top.
9. Do not use on stove. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
10. Blade is SHARP. Handle carefully when removing, inserting
or cleaning the blending shaft.
11. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container
or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage and
possibility of injury.
12. 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.

TECHNIQUES FOR USE
For smooth, even, consistent results, foods should be cut into uniform
pieces, ½ inch (1.25 cm) or less. Insert the Cuisinart®Quick Prep®
Hand Blender into the food to be processed and use a gentle up-and-
down motion for blending, mixing and puréeing. For some thicker
mixtures, a stronger motion may be necessary. Always keep the blade
below the surface of liquid/ingredients to prevent spatter. Turn the
hand blender off before lifting it out of the foods you are processing.
As you use your Cuisinart®Quick Prep®Hand Blender more, you will
find the best method for your favourite recipes.
TO BLEND, MIX OR PURÉE
Insert the Cuisinart®Quick Prep®Hand Blender into the mixture to be
processed. Process on the speed needed to produce optimum results
(use Everyday Uses and Recipes as a guide). For shakes/smoothies,
use the 2-cup (500 ml) mixing container that comes with the hand
blender, or a tall pitcher. To mix instant desserts, use a deep, narrow
bowl for best results. For puréeing, use either the mixing container, an
appropriate mixing bowl, or for soups and hot sauces, use the Quick
Prep®Hand Blender right in the pan. Use this technique to prepare
fresh, homemade baby foods from your family favorites (consult
your family physician or pediatrician for appropriate food
recommendations).
TO EMULSIFY
(mayonnaise/vinaigrettes)
Place the ingredients in the 2-cup (500 ml) mixing container or an
appropriate mixing bowl. Insert the Quick Prep®Hand Blender into the
mixture and run on Lo speed for 15 seconds, until the mixture begins
to thicken. Continue to blend, using a slow, gentle up-and-down
motion, taking care not to lift the mixing blades above the top surface
of the ingredients to avoid spatter. Blend until mixture has reached the
desired thickness.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always clean the Cuisinart®Quick Prep®Hand Blender thoroughly
after each use. Unplug the unit and hold the blade portion of the
Quick Prep®under hot running water to rinse clean. If food particles
are not easily rinsed off the blade area, use a small spatula or brush
to remove particles. Do not use your fingers as the blade is sharp.
NEVER submerge or allow water to run onto the motor base of the
appliance. Wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth and dry
before storing. Wash the mixing container in hot, soapy water and dry
before storing, or conveniently place in the dishwasher after each use.
Cleaning Tip: After preparing oily foods (salad dressing, mayonnaise,
etc.), fill the container with hot soapy water. Unplug the Quick Prep®
Hand Blender and place it in the container in the sink to soak. Rinse

the blade with hot water.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
RECIPE SUGGESTIONS
TIPS FOR USING THE CUISINART®
QUICK PREP®HAND BLENDER
• Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and
incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• To avoid spatter, turn the Quick Prep®Hand Blender off and let the
blade stop completely before lifting the unit out of the mixture you
are processing.
• Use Lo speed when adding solid ingredients to liquid.
• Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids
with liquids.
• For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for
best results.
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the
surface.
• To make a soup creamy in texture, use the Quick Prep®Hand
Blender to purée the soup solids to the desired consistency using a
gentle up-and-down motion right in the saucepan. You can quickly
change your soup into a thick and creamy blend.
• If you are making a dip or spread, it is not necessary to process
completely into a smooth purée; leave some texture for interest.
• When making compound butters, remove the butter from the
refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before blending
the ingredients.
• The Quick Prep®Hand Blender is perfect for frothing milk for
cappuccino or lattes.
• Use the Quick Prep®Hand Blender to make smooth gravies and
pan sauces.
• The Quick Prep®Hand Blender can be safely used in a saucepan
with a nonstick surface as the blade itself never touches the pan.
• For best results when adding celery to a recipe, use a vegetable
peeler to remove tough outer strings from celery before slicing.
