2. Place food in the prep bowl. Be sure the food is cut in small pieces, and the bowl is not overloaded. 3. Place the chopper/grinder cover on top of the prep bowl. Be sure the cover is properly seated. 4. Press the ON/OFF button on the Smart Stick® Hand Blender. 5. Do not operate the chopper/grinder attachment for longer than 15 seconds at a time. Note: Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit, Cuisinart recommends using one hand to support the chopper/grinder during operation. 6. When you have finished processing the food, stop the machine by taking your fingers off the ON/OFF button. 7. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, remove the Smart Stick® Hand Blender motor body from the chopper/grinder cover, and remove the cover from the chopper/grinder. 8. Unplug the unit. 9. Carefully remove the blade assembly, holding it by the gripping ridges on the plastic sheath. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF. 10. Remove food with the spatula. Note: Do not operate the Smart Stick® Chopper/Grinder attachment without food contents in the prep bowl. CLEANING 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. 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 nearest Cuisinart Repair Center for examination, repair or mechanical or electrical adjustment. 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. 13
