To properly clean your Cuisinart CSB-179 Smart Stick Hand Blender and maintain its optimal performance, follow these steps:
-
Motor Body and Blending Shaft: Always unplug the hand blender before cleaning. Wipe the motor body with a sponge or damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Hand-wash the blending shaft in hot water using mild detergent, and ensure it's completely dry before you use it again. Neither the motor body nor the blending shaft should be put in the dishwasher.
-
Chopper/Grinder Attachment: Rinse the work bowl, blade, and cover right after you use them to stop food from drying onto them. Wash the chopping blade and work bowl with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry them thoroughly. You can wipe the underside of the cover with a sponge or damp cloth. The work bowl and chopping blade are dishwasher-safe and can be placed on the top shelf. Remember to wipe the motor body and the top of the cover with a damp sponge or cloth. Never submerge the motor body or cover in any liquids.
-
Whisk Attachment: To clean the whisk attachment, detach it from the motor body. Separate the metal whisk from the gearbox by pulling the pieces apart. Clean the gearbox by wiping it with a damp cloth. Wash the metal whisk with warm, soapy water, or you can place it on the top rack of your dishwasher. Keep the gearbox away from water and liquids.
-
Reversible Blade: The chopper/grinder attachment features a reversible blade. To clean it, carefully remove the blade from its plastic sheath, holding it by the gripping ridges. Be extremely cautious and avoid touching the sharp blades. Wash the blade carefully and avoid leaving it in soapy water where it could be difficult to find.
Important Note: Never submerge the motor body, blending shaft, chopper/grinder attachment, or whisk attachment in water or any other liquids. Only specific parts are designed to come into contact with liquids. Always ensure that all parts are completely dry before use or storage. For the most detailed cleaning and maintenance advice, please consult your Cuisinart CSB-179 Smart Stick Hand Blender Instruction Manual.
