BLENDING TIPS
Blending: 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 to
avoid splattering. Remember to stop the
Hand Blender before removing it from
the jar to avoid splashing.
Drawing up: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.
Wrist movement: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.

OPERATING TIPS
• Cut solid foods into small pieces for
easier blending.
• 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 overflow, 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 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.
