Processing Food
1. Place the Prep Bowl firmly on a flat sturdy surface like a countertop. Be
sure the blade is assembled using the blade edge that is appropriate for
the food to be processed.
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. Select Speed 4 on the SmartStick™ Hand Blender Speed Control.
5. Press the ON/OFF button on the SmartStick™ Hand Blender Speed
Control to run the Chopper Grinder.
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 thumb or finger off the ON/OFF button.
7. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, remove the SmartStick™
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 SmartStick™ Chopper Grinder attachment
without food contents in the Prep Bowl.
