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
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, immediately unplug it.
Carefully remove the blending shaft, clean and dry unit thoroughly
before continuing.
4. This appliance should not be used by children and care should
be taken when used near children.
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 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 the cutting blade for the chopper/grinder
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 work 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 work bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.

3
14. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
15. Do not use outdoors or for purposes 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. Maximum rating is based on the optional CSB-100BFC baby
food chopper attachment that draws the greatest power. And
that other recommended attachments may draw significantly
less 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.

OPERATION
BLENDING
The specially designed blade is for mixing and puréeing all kinds of
foods, including salad dressings, powdered drink products, soups and
sauces and blended drinks like milkshakes or smoothies.
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 recipes. Be careful never to remove the
blending shaft from the liquid while in operation, for it will splatter.
Tilt the pan or bowl away from you if needed to ensure the protective
blade guard on the blending shaft is fully submerged.
1. Plug in motor housing.
2. Put blending shaft into mixture to be blended.
3.
Select Speed. Press and hold the Lock/Unlock button on top of the
motor housing and press the power button to turn motor on. Once
motor is on, you can release the Lock/Unlock button but continue to
hold in the power button. You can also press the power button first,
holding it down as you press the Lock/Unlock button to turn motor
on. Speed can be gradually adjusted at any time during blending.
Do not hold power button down for more than 60 seconds at a time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
HAND BLENDER
Always 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 or on top shelf of
dishwasher. Be mindful of the fixed razor-sharp blade edges.

10
CHOPPER/GRINDER ATTACHMENT
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl and blade and wipe the
underside of the cover immediately after use so food does not dry
on them. Do not submerge the work bowl cover in water or put in the
dishwasher. Wash blade and work bowl in warm, soapy water – avoid
leaving the blade submerged in water where it may disappear from
sight. Rinse and dry. Blade and work bowl can also be cleaned on
the top shelf of dishwasher. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid
contact with the sharp blade. Wipe the underside of the cover with
a sponge or damp cloth to remove any food. Wipe the power handle
and top of the cover with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immediately.
Never submerge the power handle or the chopper 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 clean on top shelf of
the dishwasher. Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other
liquid.
POTATO MASHER ATTACHMENT
Release the potato masher attachment from the housing body. To simplify
cleaning, rinse the potato masher attachment immediately after use so
food does not dry on it. Press the inner blade back into the unit and turn
clockwise to release inner blade. Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft
bristle brush if necessary, or clean on top rack of dishwasher. Do not use
any sharp, metal objects. Dry thoroughly. To reassemble, see the
assembly instructions on page 7.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
TIPS AND HINTS
FOR HAND BLENDER
• Be sure that the blending blade guard is fully submerged before
blending ingredients to prevent splatter.
• 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.
