• WARNING: For recharging the battery, only use the detachable charging supply unit provided (model C050200-EU/BS).

• WARNING: Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from attachments during operation to reduce risk of injury and/or damage to the appliance. A spatula may be used, but only when the unit is not operating.

• WARNING: Do not put fingers near the attachments. To dislodge food, ensure the mixer is not in operation first.

• The charger should be plugged into an electrical socket away from a sink or any hot surface.

To minimise hazards to health and the environment at the end of this product’s life, laws dealing with Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and The Waste Battery Directive require you to dispose of this product at a suitable collection facility where it will be sent in order to remove the batteries and for appropriate recycling.

• Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from beaters during operation.

• WARNING: When mixing hot ingredients, use a much larger container or process smaller quantities. Use extra care when working with hot liquids to avoid injury from overflowing, sudden steaming and splattering. To avoid scalds from steam, it may be advisable to angle the mixer slightly so that your hand is not directly above the steam.

• Do not use this hand mixer for anything other than its intended use of preparing foods and beverages.

Before using your CUISINART RHM100U for the first time, we recommend that you wipe the main unit with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Dry it thoroughly with a soft absorbent cloth. Carefully clean the beaters in warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard implements or a scourer.

The batteries in your CUISINART RHM100U are not fully charged upon purchase. Before using, the batteries must be charged until all three blue lights are illuminated. A full charge will take approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes and will provide approximately 20 minutes of continuous run time, depending on the recipe.

To charge the main unit, insert the Micro USB end of the charging lead into the charging port at the back of the main unit. Plug the USB end directly into the adapter plug and then into a mains supply outlet.

Please note: The Hand Mixer cannot be used while it is plugged in and charging.

The indicator lights on the CUISINART RHM100U show the battery status:

• **Charging:** The indicator lights will flash blue when the battery is being charged.

• **Fully Charged:** When all three lights are illuminated (solid, not flashing), the battery is fully charged and ready to use.

• **Battery Running Down:** As the battery starts to run down, the indicator lights will turn off one by one.

• **Needs Recharging:** The battery needs to be recharged when the last indicator light is flashing.

• **Empty Battery:** If the battery has completely run down, the unit will not operate.

To assemble the beaters on your CUISINART RHM100U, turn the main unit so the handle is facing away from you and you can see the beater connection points. There are two different beaters:

1. Insert the beater with the extra disc on the stem into the left slot. Push until it clicks into place.

2. Insert the other beater into the right hand slot and push until it clicks into place.

To remove the beaters from your CUISINART RHM100U, simply pull them out of the unit one at a time.

Follow these steps to operate your CUISINART RHM100U:

1. Press and hold the power button until the screen illuminates. Then immediately press the speed selector button once to start the unit on speed 1.

2. To change the speed, press the speed selector button again until the desired speed is reached. There are 5 speed settings. The speed settings are looped, so if you press the speed selector again when on speed 5, it will return to 0 and stop. Simply press again to reach speed 1 and continue pressing until the desired speed is reached.

3. To stop the hand mixer when on any speed, press the power button.

Note: If the mixer is left on speed zero for more than 1.5 seconds, the unit will turn off.

WARNING: Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from the beaters during operation to reduce risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to the appliance. A spatula may be used, but only when the unit is not operating.

• **Beating Egg Whites:** Use a very clean metal or glass bowl. To help stabilize the egg whites, add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg white before beating. Beat the egg whites until desired peaks form. Beating egg whites for too long causes them to dry out and become less stable.

• **Adding Sugar to Egg Whites:** Add sugar slowly when soft peaks just begin to form, and then continue beating to form desired peaks.

• **Whipping Heavy Cream:** If possible, use a chilled bowl and chill the beaters. The best shaped bowl for whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom to minimize splatter. The cream should come out of the fridge just before whipping. For best results, whip cream just before using.

• **Caution:** Do not immerse the product in water or any other liquid; only the beater attachments can be submerged.

The appliance should be cleaned thoroughly after each use. Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

• **Main Unit:** To clean the main unit, wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

• **Beaters:** The beaters can be removed and washed by hand in warm soapy water or on the top rack of a dishwasher.

• **Power Adapter:** Never immerse the power adapter in water or any other liquids.
