plug will t in an outlet only one way. If

the plug does not t in the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not t, contact a

qualied electrician. Do not modify the

plug in any way.

A short power-supply cord is provided to

reduce the risk resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

If a long extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the

extension cord should be at least as great

as the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The cord should be arranged so it will

not drape over the counter top or

tabletop where it can be pulled by

children or tripped over unintentionally.

Blending

Drawing up

Wrist

movement

Insert Hand Blender with Blending Arm

attached into the jar containing ingredients

at an angle. Use your free hand to cover

the top of the blending jar for better

stability and avoid splattering. Remember

to stop the Hand Blender before removing

it from the jar to avoid splashing.

Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of

the jar momentarily then hold at an angle

and slowly draw it upwards against the side

of the jar. As the Hand Blender is drawn

up you will notice the ingredients from the

bottom of the jar being drawn up. When

the ingredients are no longer being drawn

up from the bottom, return the Hand

Blender to the bottom of the jar and repeat

the process until the ingredients are at the

desired consistency.

Using a light circular motion from your

wrist, draw the Hand Blender up slightly

and let it fall again into the ingredients.

Allow your wrist motion and the weight

of the Hand Blender to do the work.

5. Press the Power button to activate

the Hand Blender.

6. When blending is complete, release

the power button before removing

Hand Blender from the mixture.

7. Unplug immediately after use, before

removing or changing attachments.

OPERATING YOUR HAND BLENDER

Operating Tips

• Cut solid foods into small pieces for

easier blending or chopping.

• The Hand Blender is equipped with

thermal protection from high operating

temperatures. Should the Hand Blender

suddenly stop during use, unplug it and

allow 10 minutes to automatically reset.

• To avoid splashing, insert the Hand

Blender into the mixture before

pressing the power button, and release

the power button before pulling the

Hand Blender out of the mixture.

• When blending in a saucepan on a

cooktop, remove the pan from the

heating element to protect the Hand

Blender from overheating.

• For best blending, hold the Hand

Blender at an angle and gently move up

and down within the container. Do not

pound down on the mixture with the

Hand Blender.

• To prevent overow, allow room in the

container for the mixture to rise when

using the Hand Blender.

• Be sure the extra long cord of the

Hand Blender is not extending

over a hot heating element.

• Do not let the Hand Blender sit in a hot

pan on the cooktop while not in use.

• Remove hard items, such as fruit pits

or bones, from the mixture before

blending or chopping to help prevent

damage to the blades.

• Do not use your Hand Blender to

process coffee beans or hard spices such

as nutmegs. Processing these foods could

damage the blades of the Hand Blender.

• Do not use the jar or the chopper bowl

in the microwave oven.

1. Unplug Hand Blender before cleaning.

2. Remove the adapters and attachments

by twisting (see "Operating Your Hand

Blender" section)

a damp cloth. Mild dish soap may be

used, but do not use abrasive cleansers.

cloth; then wipe clean with damp cloth.
