Keeping your Cuisinart CSB-179 Smart Stick Hand Blender clean is key to its performance and lifespan. Here's how to clean each part:
-
Motor Body and Blending Shaft: Always unplug the hand blender before cleaning. Wipe the motor body with a sponge or a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Hand wash the blending shaft in hot water with a mild detergent. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before use. Never put the motor body or blending shaft in the dishwasher.
-
Chopper/Grinder Attachment: Immediately rinse the work bowl, blade, and cover after use to prevent food from drying. Wash the chopping blade and work bowl with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry. Wipe the underside of the cover with a damp cloth. The work bowl and chopping blade are dishwasher-safe (top rack only). Wipe the motor body and cover top with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the motor body or cover in water.
-
Whisk Attachment: Detach the whisk attachment from the motor body. Separate the metal whisk from the gearbox. Clean the gearbox by wiping it with a damp cloth. Wash the metal whisk in warm, soapy water or place it on the top rack of the dishwasher. Avoid submerging the gearbox in water.
-
Reversible Blade (Chopper/Grinder): Carefully remove the blade from its plastic sheath, holding it by the gripping ridges. Be cautious of the sharp blades. Wash the blade carefully, being mindful not to leave it submerged in soapy water.
Remember: The motor body, blending shaft, chopper/grinder attachment (motor part), and whisk attachment gearbox should not be submerged in any liquids. Thoroughly dry all parts before use or storage. For complete details, consult the Cuisinart CSB-179 Smart Stick Hand Blender Instruction Manual.
