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 Center 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 chopper/grinder 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does

OPERATION
No need to keep holding down the LOCK/UNLOCK button once

BLENDING
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 flavorful,
full-bodied results. Be careful never to remove the blending shaft from
the liquid while in operation.
1. Connect the blending shaft to the motor body housing.
2. Plug electrical cord into a wall socket.
3. Immerse the blade end of blending shaft into mixture to be blended.
You can blend in the mixing cup, bowl, pot, saucepan or pitcher.

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 Center for examination, repair or mechanical
or electrical adjustment.
TIPS AND HINTS
1. Liquid should not come closer than 1 inch 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 ½-inch 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.

8
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.

tinue processing, using a gentle up-and-down motion, until thick and
all of the oil is completely incorporated.

Hollandaise
Using a hand blender makes this tricky-to-make sauce a no-fuss recipe
that you will want to put on top of more than just poached eggs.
Makes about 1 cup (250 ml)
4 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ pound (227 g) (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and kept
slightly warm (not hot)

pour the warm butter into the cup, carefully leaving any white milk
solids on the bottom of the pot behind. Allow to rest for about 1
minute.

es the bottom of the cup. Blend on Low, keeping the blade on the
bottom. Once the ingredients thicken and start to emulsify, continue
processing, using a gentle up-and-down motion, until thick and all
the ingredients are incorporated.
3. If sauce is too thick, blend in warm water, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) at a
time, until desired consistency is achieved (approximately 2
tablespoons (30 ml) total).

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Sauce
This is a very versatile sauce. It is equally great over grilled chicken or
a bowl of pasta.
Makes about 4 cups (4 l)
2 teaspoons (10 ml) olive oil
1 medium onion, cut into ½-inch pieces (1.25 cm)
1 medium carrot, cut into ½-inch pieces (1.25 cm)
1 medium celery stalk, cut into ½-inch pieces (1.25 cm)
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried basil
1/3cup (75 ml) dry white wine or vermouth
3 roasted red peppers (jarred and packed in vinegar),
cut into ½-inch pieces (1.25 cm)
2 tablespoons (30 ml) tomato paste
2 cans (15 ounces each) (425.24 g) diced tomatoes, with juices
¾ teaspoon (3.75 ml) kosher salt
¼ teaspoon (1 ml) freshly ground black pepper
1⁄8teaspoon ( .5 ml) crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1. Put the olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Once
hot, add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and basil. Partially cover and
cook until vegetables are softened but not browned, about 6 to 8
minutes. Add the wine/vermouth, stirring to deglaze the pan (picking
up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan and working into the
mixture); let cook until fully evaporated. Add remaining ingredients.
Increase heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to allow to simmer,
partially covered, for about 35 to 40 minutes. Uncover and then sim-
mer for an additional 15 to 20 minutes to thicken.
2. Remove from heat and blend on Low until sauce is puréed. If using
a larger saucepan, tilt the pan to the side away from you to ensure
that the blade guard is fully submerged to prevent splatter.
3. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Black Bean Soup
This soup gets its rich texture from not rinsing the beans; the starchy
liquid from the can is used to thicken the soup.

1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
½ medium onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

stirring, until nicely fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the beans (with liquid from cans) and the broth. Simmer,
partially covered, until all the ingredients are tender and the
flavors have melded, about 20 to 25 minutes. Discard the bay leaf.

and then switch to High and blend until very smooth, about 1 minute
in total. Add remaining salt and vinegar; blend an additional 10 to 15

Berry Fool
A traditional British dessert, fool is great any time of the year, but is a
real treat when summer berries are at their peak.

1 tablespoon (15 ml) granulated sugar
2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream, chilled
