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, page 14, for information about
when to use the blunt edge.)
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. Put blending shaft into mixture to be blended.
2. Press and hold the desired speed button. The hand blender
will continue to run as long as the button is pressed in. To
turn hand blender off, release the Power button and the
motor will stop.
3. Do not press the button for longer than 60 seconds at a
time.
4. Unplug immediately after use.
CAUTION: DO NOT PUT FINGERS NEAR BLADE. TO
DISLODGE FOOD, UNPLUG HAND BLENDER FROM THE
OUTLET FIRST.
PULSING
To pulse, press and release desired speed button.
CHOPPING FOOD
1. Place the work bowl firmly on a flat, sturdy surface like a
countertop.
2. Put food in the work bowl. Be sure the food is cut into small
pieces (½ to 1 inch), and the bowl is not overloaded.
3. Put the work bowl cover on top of the work bowl. Be sure the
cover is properly seated.
4. Press and hold the desired speed button.
Note: Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit,
Cuisinart recommends using one hand to support the work
bowl during operation.
5. When you have finished processing the food, stop the
machine by taking your finger off the desired speed button.
6.
WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, unplug the unit.
7. Remove the motor body with the cover from the work bowl.
8. Carefully remove the chopping blade, holding it by the
gripping ridges on the plastic sheath. NEVER TOUCH THE
BLADE ITSELF
.
9. Remove food with a spatula.
Note: Do not operate the chopper/grinder attachment
without food contents in the work bowl.
WHISKING
1. Insert the whisk attachment into the motor body.
(See Assembly for Whisk Attachment, page 8.)
2. Plug electrical cord into a wall socket.
3. Put the whisk into mixture to be blended.
4. Press and hold the desired speed button. The hand blender
will continue to run as long as the switch is pressed in. To
turn hand blender off, release the speed button and the
motor will stop.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
HAND BLENDER
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. Be mindful of the
fixed razor-sharp edges.
CHOPPER/GRINDER ATTACHMENT
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, blade and cover
immediately after use so that food won’t dry on them. Do not
submerge the work bowl cover in water or put in the dishwasher.
Wash chopping blade and work bowl in warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry. Wipe the underside of the cover with a sponge or damp
cloth to remove any food. Wash the blade carefully. Avoid leaving it in
soapy water where it may disappear from sight.
You can wash the work bowl and chopping blade, on the upper shelf
of your dishwasher. 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 liquids. The food
processor attachment is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
