Cuisinart CSB-175 SMART STICK TWO-SPEED HAND BLENDER

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 the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the electrical outlet. Never pull the 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 the hand blender falls into a liquid, unplug the unit first, then remove the 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 or individuals with certain disabilities.
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 the 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 the 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 the 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.
13. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Do not let the cord contact hot surfaces, including the stovetop.
14. Make sure the appliance is off, the motor has stopped completely, and the appliance is unplugged from the outlet before putting on or taking off the blending shaft, and before cleaning.
15. Maximum rating is based on the 300W chopper/grinder attachment 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.

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.

BLENDING

The specially designed blade blends, mixes and purées all kinds of foods, including salad dressings, thick smoothies, powdered drink products, soups and sauces.

Be careful never to remove the blending shaft from the liquid while in operation.

1. Connect the blending shaft to the motor body housing.

2. Plug electrical cord into a wall socket.

3. Immerse the blade end of blending shaft into mixture to be blended. You can blend in the mixing cup, bowl, pot, saucepan or pitcher.

4. Simply slide the two-speed switch to LOW or HIGH, depending on what you are blending.

5. To turn the blender on: See Operation, illustrations 1, 2, 3 above.

   • Then press and hold the ON/OFF button.
   • Release the LOCK/UNLOCK button while continuing to hold down the ON/OFF button.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the Smart Stick® Two-Speed Hand Blender before clean-ing. Clean 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 which could scratch the surface. To clean the blending shaft, wash by hand in hot water using mild detergent. DO NOT USE DISHWASHER. Never immerse the motor body in water. If 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.

TIPS AND HINTS

1. Liquid should not come closer than 1 inch from where the shaft attaches to the motor housing.
2. When using with a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the coating with the edge of blender blade guard.
3. Do not immerse motor body housing in water or any other liquids.
4. Cut solid foods into ½-inch pieces for easier blending.
5. Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing cup first, unless recipe instructs otherwise.
6. Never operate the hand blender continuously for longer than 1 minute. For best results, allow 20–30 of seconds rest time in between 1- minute cycles.
7. To avoid splatter, be sure the protective blade guard on the blending shaft remains submerged in the liquid while blending. Never remove it from the liquid while the motor is running.
8. Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
9. Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending mixture, as these are liable to damage the blades.
10. Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when blending, and can overflow.
11. Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with liquids.
12. Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and incorporate ingredients uniformly.
13. To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.
14. To purée a soup, use the hand blender to first blend the soup solids to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-down motion right in the saucepan or pot. You can quickly change chunky ingredients and stock into thick and creamy soup.
15. Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Sauce

• This is a very versatile sauce. It is equally great over grilled chicken or a bowl of pasta.

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, cut into ½-inch pieces

• 1 medium celery stalk, cut into ½-inch pieces

• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1⁄8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste

1. Put the olive oil in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic and basil.
