Processing Food
1. Put the prep bowl firmly on a flat sturdy surface like a countertop.
Be sure the blade is assembled to use the blade edge that is
appropriate for the food to be processed.

pieces, and the bowl is not overloaded.
3. Put 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 chop-
per/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.

attachment without food in the prep bowl.
