Important SaFEGUarDS
When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. 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, remove immediately. Do not reach into the liquid without
unplugging the unit first.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Avoid contacting with 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. Exercise the same care when removing, inserting
or reversing the cutting blade for the chopper attachment.
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. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopper/grinder
attachment cutting blade on base without first putting prep bowl
properly in place.
12. Be certain the chopper/grinder attachment cover is securely
locked in place before operating appliance. Do not attempt to
remove cover until blade has stopped rotating.
13. Check prep bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.
14. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.

3
15. Do not use outdoors, or use for other than 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. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not operate any
heating appliance beneath the mounting unit.
19. Maximum rating of 200W is based on the chopper/grinder
attachment that draws the greatest power.
20.
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.

WHISK TIPS
Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites.
It may also be used for whisking eggs for scrambled eggs or
fluffy omelets.
BEATING 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 soft peaks form that do not droop. Beating the egg whites longer
causes them to dry out and become even less stable. When adding
sugar to beaten egg whites add it slowly when soft peaks just begin
to form and then continue beating to form soft peaks that don’t droop.
BEATING HEAVY CREAM
When beating heavy cream, if possible and if 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. The cream
should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping. Hold the
whisk attachment so that it is just skimming the surface, and whip
until the cream begins to thicken and develop some body; then
immerse the whisk totally into the cream. 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.
If it must be whipped ahead, add a whipped cream stabilizer such as
Oetker®Whip It™.

REVERSIBLE BLADE
The Cuisinart®Smart Stick®Hand Blender chopper/grinder attachment
is equipped with a reversible blade. This blade is sharp on one side
and blunt on the other. The blade is attached to a plastic ring which
slides over the plastic blade sheath, so it can be easily turned over to
select the appropriate blade. To reverse the blade: see detailed
instructions below. Frequent Uses for Chopper/Grinder (page 15).
Before you process any food, assemble the blender parts.
1. Put the prep bowl on a flat, dry,
stable surface. It should be close
to an electrical outlet of the same
voltage as stated on the rating
plate on the Smart Stick®Hand
Blender.
2. The metal blade assembly shaft
(C) is attached to the bottom of
the prep bowl. If not already in
place, slide the fully assembled
blade assembly
(E) over the top of
the metal blade assembly shaft.
2a. Putting together the blade
assembly: Connect the blade ring
(F) to the plastic blade sheath (G).
Line up the blade ring opening
with the plastic sheath. Let the
blade ring slide to the bottom of
the plastic sheath. HOLD THE
BLADE RING BY THE CENTRAL HUB HOLDING RIBS (grips) (K)
ONLY. DO NOT TOUCH THE RAZOR-SHARP BLADES.
Note these important features of the blade ring. The blade ring
can be placed over the plastic blade sheath in two different ways:
If you hold it this way (A), you will see the word “Sharp” on the
blade. Assemble the blade this side up to use the sharp edge.
(See the section on processing food for information about when
to use the sharp edge.)
If you hold it this way (B), you will see no writing on the blade.
Assemble the blade this side up to use the blunt edge. (See the
section on processing food, for information about when to use
the blunt edge.)
There are notches (C) on opposite sides of the interior of the hub.
These fit over ridges on the sides of the plastic blade sheath.

Pick up the blade ring by its hub holding ribs (grips) and turn it
very slightly clockwise. This locks it in place on the plastic blade
sheath and prevents it from sliding up during processing.
3. Connect the Smart Stick®Hand Blender motor body to the top of
the chopper/grinder attachment cover. Align the spline in the
chopper/grinder cover’s drive shaft with the ribbed opening on
the underside of the motor body. When aligned properly, slide
the two pieces together until they mate. You will feel and hear a
slight click. It may be helpful to press the
rubber release button when sliding
these pieces together.
4. With the hand blender in place,
locate the chopper/grinder cover
and put it on top of the prep bowl.
4a. Be sure that the 3 ridges
(cover slots) at the top of the
prep bowl line up with the
3- knotches in the underside
of the chopper/grinder cover,
and that the cover is seated
all around the top of the
prep bowl.
4b. Rotate cover clockwise to
secure it to the prep bowl.

5. Plug the power cord of the Smart Stick®Hand Blender into an

while gripping the Smart Stick®Hand Blender motor body handle
with the other. Press the High or Low button with your fingers to
start the motor and run the chopper/grinder.
To turn the unit off, remove your fingers from the selected button.
7. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, unplug the Smart Stick®
Hand Blender, remove the motor body from the chopper/grinder
cover, and remove the cover from the prep bowl.

of the whisk gearbox (B).
2. Push end into opening until it locks into position (C).
3. Align the motor body with the assembled whisk
attachment and slide the pieces together until
you hear and feel the pieces click together.
It may be helpful to press the release button
when assembling.
