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 is not intended for use by children or by persons with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
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.

3
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 200W 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.

TIPS AND HINTS FOR HAND BLENDER
• When blending in the mixing cup, pour liquid ingredients in first,
unless recipe instructs otherwise.
• When blending in 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.
• Do not fill mixing cup 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.

8
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under
the surface.
• When using on 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,
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 the 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 the 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 may 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.
