UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Place the package containing the Cuisinart
®
Smart Stick
®
Variable
Speed Hand Blender on a sturdy surface. Unpack the 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.
Before using the Cuisinart
®
Smart Stick
®
Variable Speed Hand Blender
for the first time, we recommend that you wipe the motor body
housing with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Dry it
thoroughly with a soft, absorbent cloth. Handling it carefully, wash the
detachable blending shaft with fixed-mount blade and the whisk by
hand. Dry thoroughly before use. Read all instructions completely for
detailed operating procedures.
