IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

When using any electrical appliance, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, including the following:

• This appliance is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY and similar applications such as:
  – staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments;
  – farmhouses;
  – clients in hotels, motels, and other residential type environments;
  – bed and breakfast settings

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack experience and knowledge – unless, they have been given instruction and or guidance concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Use only on an appropriate benchtop sitting away from flammable materials such as curtains, draperies, and walls of similar nature as a fire may occur if comes in contact or becomes covered during operation.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas, electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any heating appliance beneath or near the mounted charging handle.

• Do not mount or store a hand blender over or near a portion of a heating or cooking appliance, or a sink/washbasin.

• Never submerge any portion of the handle or motor in liquids. Only the shaft, where blades interchange, have been designed for submersion in liquids. If the handle falls into a liquid, remove it immediately. Carefully remove, clean, and dry hand blender thoroughly before continuing.

• Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as utensils, including spatulas away from the shaft and mixing container during operation. A spatula may be used when the hand blender is not operating.

• When mixing liquids, use a tall container or mix small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.

• Use extra care when working with hot liquids to avoid splattering.

• To safely turn the hand blender off release the Power button.

• To prevent unintentional starting. Never press the Auto-Lock/Unlock button on the power handle while pressing the Power button.

• Blades are very sharp. Always store and handle blades cutting edge away from you.

• To avoid damage to the USB cord, do not let the cord meet any hot surfaces including a stovetop.

• The USB power adapter and USB cable should be plugged into an electrical outlet away from the sink or hot surface.

• Do not use an extension cord. Plug a USB power adapter directly into an electrical outlet.

• Unplug the USB power adapter from the outlet before attempting any routine cleaning, assembling, disassembling, or cleaning of the charger.

• Do not operate a damaged USB power adapter and replace it immediately.

• Recharge only with the USB power adapter specified by the manufacturer. A USB power adapter (5VDC/2000mA output) that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

• Do not let a USB cable hang over the edge of the table or benchtop.

• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive heat. Exposure to fire or temperatures above 130°C may cause an explosion.

• Do not incinerate the hand blender, even if severely damaged; the batteries contain lithium-ion which may explode in high temperatures and in a fire.

• Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.

• Under abusive/extreme conditions leaks from battery cells can occur. If the liquid gets on the skin, (1) wash quickly with soap and water or (2) neutralize with mild acids such as lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Seek medical attention

• Recommended ambient charging and storage temperature: 10°C−40°C.

• The use of attachments or accessories that are not recommended by Cuisinart may be hazardous.

• Make sure the appliance is off and the motor/blade has stopped completely before taking off attachments, and before cleaning.

• Remove the detachable shaft from the power handle before washing the blades or shaft.

• Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, involving a risk of electric shock.

• While cleaning do not try to dislodge any food when the hand blender is plugged in; always unplug it when cleaning.

• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

• DO NOT LEAVE OUTDOORS.

QUICK TIPS

• Be sure the protective blade guard on the shaft 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 directly in the saucepan or pot.
• When blending ingredients in a pot or pan, tilt the pan away from you to create a deeper area for blending and to prevent splatter.
• If blending a small volume of liquid, tilt the container slightly, to submerge the blade guard, for best results.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the coating with the hand blender.
• When blending in the beaker – for example, if making a fruit smoothie – cut firmer fruit into 1.5 – 2.5cm pieces for easy blending.
• When blending in the beaker, put firmer ingredients in first, then soft ingredients. Finish with any liquid you want to add unless the recipe instructs otherwise.
• The liquid should not come closer than 3cms to where the shaft attaches to the power handle.
• The hand blender froths milk perfectly for cappuccino and lattes. Just warm milk in a small saucepan, then pulse the hand blender gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully submerged.
• Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
• Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on the stove while not in use.
• Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones, or other hard materials, as these are likely to damage the blades.
• Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of the mixture will rise when blending and can overflow.
• Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BATTERY LIFE

Before the first use of this appliance, the batteries must be charged until all 3 blue battery indicator lights illuminate. With a full charge, your hand blender will run for approximately 20 minutes, depending on the load. Your hand blender will be fully charged in approximately 2 hours.

BATTERY-LIFE INDICATOR

When Battery-Life Indicator/LED Light Bar displays 3 solid blue power lights, battery capacity is 95%.

Your Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender is equipped with a top-up charge feature. If your power handle runs out of power, you can “top-up” your power handle:

• Charge for 15 minutes to get 25 seconds of runtime.
• Charge for 30 minutes to get 1 minute and 45 seconds of runtime.
• Charge for 60 minutes to get 5 minutes and 45 seconds of runtime.
• Charge for 2 hours for 20 minutes of runtime (full charge)

NOTE: Do not leave your hand blender uncharged for an extended period of time, as it will affect the life of the rechargeable battery.

ASSEMBLY

To align the power handle housing with the shaft, face the hand blender toward you, and twist the shaft onto the power handle until you hear it click into place.

BLENDING & MIXING
The shaft is specially designed for mixing and stirring all kinds of foods, including salad dressings, smoothies, shakes, powdered-drinks products, soups, and sauces. It is also ideal for combining dry ingredients.
The 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 thoroughly blend the most flavorful, full-bodied liquid
recipes. To avoid splatter, be sure the protective blade guard on the shaft remains submerged in the liquid while blending. Never remove it from the liquid while the hand blender is running. Attach the shaft into the power handle. Insert the shaft into the mixture to be blended. Press and hold the Auto-Lock/Unlock button and press the ower (i) button to turn the hand blender on. Once on, you can release the Auto-Lock/Unlock button. Do not hold ower (i) button down for more than 2 minutes at a time. To turn the hand blender off, release the Power button.

PULSE

1. Press and hold the Auto-Lock/Unlock button.
2. Then press and hold the ON button.
3. Repeatedly press and release the ON button while continuing to hold down the Auto
   Lock/Unlock button to pulse until ingredients reach desired consistency.
