IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed 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 electrical shock, do not put the motor body, cord
or electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other liquid. 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.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. During operation keep hands, hair, 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 blender 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
make 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, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
12. Do not use outdoors, or use for other than intended use.
13. Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.

3
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 attachments, and before cleaning.
15. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not operate any
heating appliance beneath the mounting unit.
16. Maximum rating of 200w is based on the chopper/grinder
attachment that draws the greatest power.
17. To reduce the risk of injury, never place cutting blade on base
without first putting bowl properly in place.
18. Be certain cover is securely locked in place before
operating appliance.
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.

OPERATION
The specially designed blade is for mixing and stirring all kinds of foods,
including salad dressings, powdered drink products, and sauces. It is
ideal for combining dry ingredients, and can be used to emulsify
mayonnaise, too.
This 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 make the most
flavorful, full-bodied liquid recipes. Be careful never to remove the
Cuisinart
®
Smart Stick
®
Two Speed Hand Blender from the liquid while in
operation.

page 5.)
2. Plug electrical cord into an electrical wall socket.

TIPS AND HINTS
FOR HAND BLENDER
• Be sure that blending blade guard 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 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.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the
coating with the hand blender.
• When blending into the blending cup, for example when making a fruit
smoothie, cut most solid foods into ½ inch pieces for easy blending.
• Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
• Do not immerse motor body housing in water or any other liquid.
• When blending in the mixing cup, pour liquid ingredients in first, unless
recipe instructs otherwise.
• The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or lattés.
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 liable 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.
• Liquid should not come closer than 1-inch of where the shaft attaches
to the motor housing.
