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 electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other
liquids. Only the detachable blending shaft and other certain
parts of this appliance have been designed for immersion into
water or other liquids. Never submerge any other portion of this
unit. If hand blender falls into liquid, remove 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 and clothing, as well as
spatulas and other utensils, away from attachments 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. Exercise the same care when removing
or inserting the cutting blade, or reversing disc for the food
processor attachment.
10. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container
or mix small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering
and the possibility of injury from burning.
11. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopper/grinder
attachment cutting blade on base without first putting work bowl
properly in place.
12. Be certain the food processor attachment cover is securely
locked in place before operating appliance. Do not attempt to
remove cover until blade has stopped rotating.

3
13. Check work bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.
14. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock, or risk of injury.
15. Do not use outdoors or for other than its intended use.
16. Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.
17. Make sure the appliance is off, the motor has stopped
completely, and the appliance is unplugged from outlet before
putting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning.
18. Maximum rating is based on the 300W chopper/grinder
attachment that draws the greatest power.
19.
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 not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
MOTOR BODY AND BLENDING SHAFT
Unplug the Smart Stick®before cleaning. Clean the motor body and
blending shaft 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 that could scratch the surface.
To clean the blending shaft, wash by hand in hot water, using mild
detergent. Be mindful of the fixed, razor-sharp edges.
Do not put the motor body or blending shaft in the dishwasher.
CHOPPER/GRINDER ATTACHMENT
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, blade and cover
immediately after use so that food won’t dry on them. Do not
submerge the work bowl cover in water or put in the dishwasher.
Wash chopping blade and work bowl in warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry. Wipe the underside of the cover with a sponge or damp
cloth to remove any food. Wash the blade carefully. Avoid leaving it in
soapy water where it may disappear from sight.
You can wash the work bowl and chopping blade on the top shelf of
your dishwasher. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid contact
with the sharp blade. Wipe the motor body and top of the cover with
a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the
motor body or the cover in water or other liquids. The chopper/
grinder attachment is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
WHISK ATTACHMENT
To clean your whisk attachment, simply release the attachment
from the motor body housing. 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 top shelf of the
dishwasher.
Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquids.
Any service, other than cleaning and normal user maintenance, should
be performed by an authorized Cuisinart Service Representative.
TIPS AND HINTS
FOR HAND BLENDER
• When blending in the mixing cup, pour liquid ingredients in first,
unless recipe instructs otherwise.
• When blending into mixing cup, for example, when making a fruit
smoothie, cut most solid foods into ½-inch pieces for easy blending.
• Be sure that blending blade guard is fully submerged before
blending ingredients.
• Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones or other hard materials, as
these are liable to damage the blades.

14
• Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise
when blending and can overflow.
• Liquid should not come closer than 1 inch of where the shaft
attaches to the motor housing.
• Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and
incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the
surface.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch
the coating with the hand blender.
• To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup ingredients
to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-down motion right
in the saucepan or pot.
• When blending ingredients right in a pot or pan, tilt the pan away
from you to create a deeper area for blending to prevent splatter.
• Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
• Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
• 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 immerse motor body housing 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 beating heavy cream or egg whites.
• When beating 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
1
/
8
teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg white prior to beating them. (If
using a copper bowl, omit the cream of tartar.) Beat the egg whites
until desired peaks form.
• When adding sugar to beaten egg whites, add it slowly when soft
peaks just begin to form, and then continue beating to form desired
peaks.
• Beating the egg whites too long causes them to dry out and become
less stable.
• When beating 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.

15
FOR FOOD CHOPPER/GRINDER ATTACHMENT
• Do not overload work bowl. For best results, most foods should not
reach more than
2
∕
3
of the way up the work bowl.
• Liquids in work bowl should not exceed 1½ cups. Use quantities given
in the recipe section as a guide.
• For raw ingredients: Peel, core and/or remove seeds and pits. Food
should be between ½ and 1 inch, depending on hardness of the food.
• The size of pieces you put in bowl should be about the same size to
achieve even results.
• Do not attempt to chop fruit pits, bones or other hard materials, as
these are liable to damage the blades.
• Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the finest chop,
process continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired
consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.
• Do not operate chopper/grinder attachment for more than
30 seconds continuously.
• When making compound butters, remove the butter from the
refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before blending the
ingredients.
• Some spices may scratch the work bowl.
• Do not immerse food processor cover in water or any other liquids.
