WHISK TIPS  
Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites.  
It may also be used for whisking eggs for scrambled eggs or  
fluffy omelets.  
BEATINg Egg WHITES  
When beating 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 beating them. (If  
using a copper bowl omit the cream of tartar.) Beat the egg whites  
until soft peaks form that do not droop. Beating the egg whites longer  
causes them to dry out and become even less stable. When adding  
sugar to beaten egg whites add it slowly when soft peaks just begin  
to form and then continue beating to form soft peaks that don’t droop.  
BEATINg HEAvy CREAM  
When beating heavy cream, if possible and if 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. The cream  
should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping. Hold the  
whisk attachment so that it is just skimming the surface, and whip  
until the cream begins to thicken and develop some body; then  
immerse the whisk totally into the cream. 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.  
If it must be whipped ahead, add a whipped cream stabilizer such as  
Oetker® Whip It.

REvERSIBLE BLADE  
The Cuisinart® Smart Stick® Hand Blender chopper/grinder attachment  
is equipped with a reversible blade. This blade is sharp on one side  
and blunt on the other. The blade is attached to a plastic ring which  
slides over the plastic blade sheath, so it can be easily turned over to  
select the appropriate blade. To reverse the blade: see detailed  
instructions below. Frequent Uses for Chopper/Grinder (page 15).  
Before you process any food, assemble the blender parts.  
1. Put the prep bowl on a flat, dry,  
2
stable surface. It should be close  
to an electrical outlet of the same  
voltage as stated on the rating  
plate on the Smart Stick® Hand  
Blender.  
E
C
2. The metal blade assembly shaft  
(C) is attached to the bottom of  
the prep bowl. If not already in  
place, slide the fully assembled  
blade assembly (E) over the top of  
the metal blade assembly shaft.  
BLUNT SIDE UP  
A
SHARP SIDE  
K-NOTCH  
2a. Putting together the blade  
assembly: Connect the blade ring  
(F) to the plastic blade sheath (G).  
Line up the blade ring opening  
with the plastic sheath. Let the  
blade ring slide to the bottom of  
the plastic sheath. HOLD THE  
BLADE RING BY THE CENTRAL HUB HOLDING RIBS (grips) (K)  
ONLY. DO NOT TOUCH THE RAZOR-SHARP BLADES.  
Note these important features of the blade ring. The blade ring  
can be placed over the plastic blade sheath in two different ways:  
If you hold it this way (A), you will see the word “Sharp” on the  
blade. Assemble the blade this side up to use the sharp edge.  
(See the section on processing food for information about when  
to use the sharp edge.)  
If you hold it this way (B), you will see no writing on the blade.  
Assemble the blade this side up to use the blunt edge. (See the  
section on processing food, for information about when to use  
the blunt edge.)  
There are notches (C) on opposite sides of the interior of the hub.  
These fit over ridges on the sides of the plastic blade sheath.

Pick up the blade ring by its hub holding ribs (grips) and turn it  
very slightly clockwise. This locks it in place on the plastic blade  
sheath and prevents it from sliding up during processing.  
3. Connect the Smart Stick® Hand Blender motor body to the top of  
the chopper/grinder attachment cover. Align the spline in the  
chopper/grinder cover’s drive shaft with the ribbed opening on  
the underside of the motor body. When aligned properly, slide  
the two pieces together until they mate. You will feel and hear a  
slight click. It may be helpful to press the  
rubber release button when sliding  
these pieces together.

OPERATION  
BLENDINg & MIxINg  
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.

CLEANINg AND MAINTENANCE  
SMART STICK® HAND BLENDER  
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. Be mindful of the permanently  
mounted razor sharp edges.  
Never immerse the motor body in water.  
When 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.  
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service  
representative.  
12  
CHOPPER/gRINDER ATTACHMENT  
To simplify cleaning, rinse the prep bowl, cover, and blade immediately  
after use, so that food won’t dry onto them. Wash blade ring, plastic  
sheath, and prep bowl in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe the  
underside of the chopper/grinder cover with a sponge or damp cloth  
to remove any food. Do not submerge the cover in water or put in  
the dishwasher. Wash the blade carefully. Avoid leaving it in soapy  
water where it could disappear from sight.  
If you have a dishwasher, you can wash the prep bowl blade assembly  
on the upper shelf. Insert the prep bowl upside down. Put the blade  
in the cutlery basket. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid contact  
with the sharp blade. Wipe the motor body and top of the cover with  
a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the  
motor body or the cover in water or other liquid.  
The Smart Stick® chopper/grinder attachment is intended for  
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Any service, other than cleaning and normal  
user maintenance, should be performed by an authorized Cuisinart  
Service Representative.  
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 pieces apart.  
To clean the gearbox, simply wipe with a damp cloth.  
To clean the metal whisk, wash with warm, soapy water or in the  
dishwasher.  
Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquid.  
13  
TIPS AND HINTS  
1. Liquid should come within an inch of where the shaft attaches to  
the motor housing.  
2. Some spices may scratch the chopper/grinder attachment.  
3. When using with a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to  
scratch the coating with the hand blender.  
4. Do not immerse motor body housing, chopper/grinder cover, or  
whisk gearbox in water or any other liquid.  
5. Cut most solid foods into ½-inch cubes for easy blending.  
Suggestion: use chopper/grinder for chopping and grinding  
solid foods.  
6. Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing container first, unless  
recipe instructs otherwise.  
7. 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.  
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. For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for  
best results.  
13. Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and  
incorporate ingredients uniformly.  
14. 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.  
15. To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under  
the surface.  
16. 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.  
17. If you are making a dip or spread, it is not necessary to process  
completely into a smooth purée; leave some texture for interest.  
18. When making compound butters, remove the butter from the  
refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before blending  
in the ingredients.

California law provides that for In-Warranty Service, California residents  
have the option of returning a nonconforming product

(B) to another retail store that 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  
28  
does not result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer  
may then take the product to an independent 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
