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.

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. Contact the manufacturer at their customer service telephone number for information on examination, repair, or 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 cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always unplug the Smart Stick® Two-Speed Hand Blender before cleaning. 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. Put the hardest ingredients into the mixing cup first, followed by softer items and liquid, unless recipe instructs otherwise.
6. Never operate the hand blender continuously for longer than 1 minute. For best results, allow 20 to 30 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 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 likely to damage the blades.
10. Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when blending, and can overflow.
11. When preparing purées, 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.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning a nonconforming product (A) to the store where it was purchased or (B) to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the same type.

Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
