UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the package containing the Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender
on a sturdy surface. Unpack the Smart Stick® Hand Blender from its box
by removing the upper protective insert. Gently slide the unit from the
box. Remove all support materials from the box and replace the upper
insert. Save packaging for possible repacking of the unit.
Note: The blending blade is extremely sharp. Use caution when
removing.
Before using the Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender for the first time,
we recommend that you wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth to
remove any dirt or dust. Dry it thoroughly with a soft absorbent cloth.
Handle carefully. Never submerge motor body housing in water or any
other liquid; wash mixing container and detachable shaft by hand or
in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before use. Read all instructions
completely for detailed operating procedures.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
1. One Touch On/Off Button: Allows you to activate the hand
blender at the touch of a button. Simply press and hold down
on the toggle switch to blend or pulse. Once the button is
released, blending will stop.
2. Comfort Handle: The handle allows you to control the hand blender
with ease.
3. Motor Body Housing
4. Detachable Shaft: By pressing the release button on the back of the
unit, the shaft will detach for easy cleaning.
5. Blending Attachment with Stainless Steel Blade and Blade Guard:
This attachment easily snaps into the motor body housing.
The stainless blade is partially covered by a stainless housing that
keeps splashing to a minimum.
6. Mixing Beaker: 2-cup mixing beaker is microwave- and dishwasher-
safe. Use this container to blend drinks, shakes, salad dressings and
more. Designed for easy gripping and drip-free pouring.
TIPS AND HINTS
1. Liquid should come within an inch of 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 hand blender.
3. Do not immerse motor body housing, in water or any other liquid.
4. Cut most solid foods into 1⁄2" cubes for easy blending.

5. Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing container first, unless recipe
instructs otherwise.
6. To avoid splashing, don’t turn the hand blender on until the blade is
beneath the surface of the mixture, and do not pull the hand blender
out of the mixture while blender is running.
7. Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
8. Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending
mixture, as these are liable to damage the blades.
9. Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise
when blending, and can overflow.
10. Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids
with liquids.
11. For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for
best results.
12. Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and
incorporate ingredients uniformly.
13. To avoid spatter, turn the hand blender off and let the blade stop
completely before lifting the unit out of the mixture you are processing.
14. To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under
the surface.
15. To make a soup creamy in texture, use the hand blender to purée the
soup solids to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-down
motion right in the saucepan. You can quickly change your soup into
a thick and creamy blend.
16. When making compound butters, remove the butter from the
refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before blending in
the ingredients.
17. The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or lattes.
18. Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
19. For best results when using celery in a recipe, use a vegetable
peeler to remove tough outer strings from the celery before slicing.

OPERATION
The specially designed blade is for mixing and stirring all kinds of foods,
including salad dressings, powdered drink products, and sauces. It is
ideal for combining dry ingredients, and can be used to emulsify
mayonnaise, too.
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 liquid recipes. Be careful never to remove the
Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender from the liquid while in operation.
1. Insert the blending attachment into the motor body. (See Assembly,
page 6.)
2. Plug electrical cord into an electrical wall socket.
3. Place blending shaft into mixture that will be blended.
4. Press and hold the ON/OFF button. The hand blender will continue to
run as long as the switch is pressed in. To turn hand blender OFF,
release the ON/OFF button and the motor will stop.
5. Do not hold the button ON for longer than 50 seconds at a time.
6. Unplug immediately after use.
CLEANING
Always clean the Smart Stick® 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 which
could scratch the surface. To clean the blending shaft, wash by hand in
hot water using mild detergent, or in dishwasher.
Never immerse the motor body in water.
When the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged
in any way or it is not operating properly, return the appliance to the

spoons of the flour. Continuously stir mixture for about a minute. Add 1⁄4
cup sherry and scrape the bottom of the pan of all that has stuck to it.

If needed, add ⁄2 cup of the stock to scrape anything that remains.
Pour mixture out into a bowl to reserve. Wipe out pan and add the
remaining tablespoon of butter. Sauté the cremini mushrooms until
lightly browned. Stir in chopped porcini. Add remaining half tablespoon
of flour and stir for about a minute. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sherry,
dislodging any flavorful brown bits that remain on bottom of pan.
Add one-half cup of the stock if necessary. Add the reserved cooked
1
mushrooms, salt, thyme, ⁄2 cup mushroom soaking liquid, and

WARRANTY
Limited Three-Year Warranty
This warranty is available to consumers only. You are a consumer if you
own a Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender that was purchased at retail

under applicable law, this warranty is not available to retailers or other

We warrant that your Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender will be free of
defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use for 3
years from the date of original purchase.
We suggest you complete and return the enclosed product registration
card promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase.
However, return of the product registration card does not eliminate the
need for the consumer to maintain the original proof of purchase in order
to obtain the warranty benefits. In the event that you do not have proof of
purchase date, the purchase date for purposes of this warranty will be
the date of manufacture.
If your Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender should prove to be defec-
tive within the warranty period, we will repair it, or if we think necessary,
replace it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our toll-free number
1-800-726-0190 for additional information from our Customer Service
Representatives or send the defective product to Customer Service at

$10.00 for shipping and handling of the product.
Please pay by check or money order (California residents need only
supply proof of purchase and should call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping
instructions).
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling of any Cuisinart®

This warranty does not cover any damage caused by accident, misuse,
shipment or other ordinary household use.
This warranty excludes all incidental or consequential damages. Some
states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of these damages, so they
may not apply to you.
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 which sells Cuisinart products of the same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion, either repair the product, refer
the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product,
or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the
consumer’s prior usage of the product.
If either of the above two options does not result in the appropriate relief
to the consumer, the consumer may then take the product to an indepen-
dent repair facility if service or repair can be economically accomplished.
Cuisinart and not the consumer will be responsible for the reasonable
cost of such service, repair, replacement, or refund for nonconforming
products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service Center toll-free at
1-800-726-0190.
Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair, replacement, and
shipping and handling for such products under warranty.
