Read all instructions. 2. Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord. 3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not put the hand mixer motor housing or cord in water or other liquids. If hand mixer motor housing or cord falls into liquid, unplug the cord from outlet immediately. Do not reach into the liquid. 4. This appliance is not intended for use by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 5. Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from beaters and other accessories/attachments during operation to reduce risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to the mixer. 6. Remove all accessories/attachments from the mixer before washing. 7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer at their customer service telephone number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment. 8. The use of attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may cause fire, electric shock, or risk of injury. 9. Do not use outdoors or anywhere the cord or mixer might come into contact with water while in use. 10. To avoid possibility of mixer being accidentally pulled off work area, which could result in damage to the mixer or in personal injury, do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. 11. To avoid damage to cord and possible fire or electrocution hazard, do not let cord con- tact hot surfaces, including the stove. 12. Blades are SHARP. Handle carefully when removing, inserting or cleaning. ALWAYS USE BLADE STORAGE COVER WHEN NOT IN USE. 13. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or mix small quantities in separate batches to reduce spillage, splattering and possibility of injury from burning. 14. Use storage pouch to specifically store hand blender unit and attachments. Be sure blade storage cover is in place on detachable blending shaft before putting in storage pouch. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY NOTICE To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. The maximum rating is based on the HM-C Chopper/Grinder attachment (available separately), which draws the greatest load (power); other recommended attachments may draw significantly less power. hm8_20ce074058_eng_ib_final.indd 2 hm8_20ce074058_eng_ib_final.indd 2 6/16/20 11:34 AM 6/16/20 11:34 AM 3 FEATURES AND BENEFITS 250 Watt DC Motor Powerful enough to easily cut through a double batch of cookie dough or butter right out of the refrigerator.
