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.
10. 
    When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or blend 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 for purposes other than it's intended use.

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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

MAIN UNIT

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.

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.

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.
• When blending into the blending beaker, for example when making a fruit smoothie, cut most solid foods into ½ –1 inch pieces for easy blending.
• Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
• Do not immerse motor body housing in water or any other liquids.
• When blending in the blending beaker, pour liquid ingredients in first, unless recipe instructs otherwise.
• The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or lattés. Just warm milk in a small saucepan, and then pulse the hand blender gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully submerged.
• Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
• Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones, or other hard materials as these are liable to damage the blades.
• Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when blending and can overflow.
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.
• Using a gentle up-and-down motions is the best way to blend and incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• Liquid should not come closer than 1-inch of where the shaft attaches to the motor housing.
• Use Low speed for gentle blending such as dressings and milkshakes.
• When puréeing soups, use Medium to first break up large, already tender ingredients. Then gradually increase speed to High to make soup very smooth.
• Use High speed for quick, powerful blending like smoothies

FOR POTATO MASHER

• When using the potato masher, it is best to use Low speed for potatoes, which are starchy and should not be overworked. The High speed can be used for other root vegetables like turnips and sweet potatoes.
• To achieve a smoother and thicker root vegetable mash, add in 1 or 2 potatoes.
• The less you process potatoes the better. Mashing each section, by using just 1 or 2 up and down motion, works best.
• Mash ingredients when they are hot—they will mash better and more easily.
• Mash vegetables first, then add in the other ingredients, such as milk, butter and seasonings.

FOR WHISK ATTACHMENT

• Do not immerse whisk attachment gearbox in water or any other liquids.
• Use the whisk attachment for whipping heavy cream or egg whites.
• When whipping 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 whipping them.
  (If using a copper bowl, omit the cream of tartar.) Whip the egg whites until desired peaks form.
• Whipping egg whites for too long causes them to dry out and become less stable.
• When adding sugar to whipped egg whites, add it slowly when soft peaks just begin to form and then continue beating to form desired peaks.
• When whipping heavy cream, if possible and 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 to minimize any splatter.
• The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping. 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.
• The whisk attachment may also be used for any task that you would normally whisk by hand, like crêpe batters or eggs for omelets.
