RUSSELL HOBBS STICK BLENDER

Congratulations on purchasing our RUSSELL HOBBS STICK BLENDER. Each unit is

manufactured to ensure safety and reliability. Before using this appliance for the first

time, please read the instruction manual carefully and keep it for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using any electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed

including the following:

CAUTION: When using the stick blender, the unit must not be used for longer than 1-

minute cycles as this puts pressure on the motor which lead to overheating and product

malfunction. It is recommended to allow the stick blender a 15-minute break after each

cycle.

1. Please read the instructions carefully before using any appliance.

2. Always ensure that the voltage on the rating label corresponds to the mains

voltage in your home.

3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the appliance and cause injury

to the user.

4. The appliance is intended for household use only. Commercial use invalids the

warranty and the supplier cannot be held responsible for injury or damage

caused when using the appliance for any other purpose than that intended.

5. Avoid any contact with moving parts.

6. Close supervision is required when any appliance is used near or by children or

invalids.

7. Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the plug

is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in

order to avoid an electrical hazard.

8. Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. In case

of damage, take the unit in for examination and/or repair by an authorised service

agent.

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse or expose the motor

assembly, plug or the power cord to water or any other liquid.

10. Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid for cleaning purposes.

11. Remove the plug from the socket by gripping the plug. Do not pull on the cord to

disconnect the appliance from the mains. Always unplug the unit when not in

use, before cleaning or when adding or removing parts.

12. The use of accessory attachments that are not recommended or supplied by the

manufacturer may result in injuries, fire or electric shock.

13. A short cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

14. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Ensure that the cord

is not in a position where it can be pulled on inadvertently.

15. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces and do not place on or near a hot gas

or electric burner or in a heated oven.

16. Do not use the appliance on a gas or electric cooking top or over or near an open

flame.

17. Use of an extension cord with this appliance is not recommended. However, if it

is necessary to use an extension lead, ensure that the lead is suited to the power

consumption of the appliance to avoid overheating of the extension cord,

appliance or plug point. Do not place the extension cord in a position where it can

be pulled on by children or animals or tripped over.

18. This appliance is not suitable for outdoor use. Do not use this appliance for

anything other than its intended use.

19. DO NOT carry the appliance by the power cord.

20. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use. Always unplug the unit when

not in use or before cleaning.

21. Always operate the appliance on a smooth, even, stable surface. Do not place

the unit on a hot surface.

22. Ensure that the switch is in the “Off” position after each use.

23. The manufacturer does not accept responsibility for any damage or injury caused

by improper or incorrect use, or for repairs carried out by unauthorised

personnel.

24. In case of technical problems, switch off the machine and do not attempt to repair

it yourself. Return the appliance to an authorised service facility for examination,

adjustment or repair. Always insist on the use of original spare parts. Failure to

comply with the above mentioned pre-cautions and instructions, could affect the

safe operation of this machine.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Carefully unpack your stick blender and take off any protective wrappings.

2. Clean the blending attachment before using it for the first time with a moist cloth

or rinse under the tap. Make sure the unit is unplugged before doing this.

3. Insert the blending attachment into the main housing and turn in a clockwise

position until the two parts are locked together (A).

4. Ensure the stick blender is unplugged or switched off at the wall socket.

5. Put the ingredients into a mixing bowl, beaker or a different durable bowl, which

is sufficiently tall and wide to avoid splashing.

6. Plug the unit into the mains power supply.

7. Dip the blending arm with blade as deep as possible into the mixture.

NOTE: Do not immerse the stick blender in food or liquid above the “MAX”

indicator line.

8. Press the speed button to operate the unit. Partially depressed for normal speed

1 and fully depressed for turbo effect (C), the speed will be changed to speed 2.

9. We recommend first starting on a low speed and increasing the speed as needed,

depending on the desired consistency of the food being processed.

10. Work the stick blender through the ingredients with a gentle circular movement

and up and down movement.

NOTE: Do not operate the stick blender before inserting it into the food being mixed.

11. When you have finished using your stick blender, unplug the appliance and

remove the blending attachment by holding the motor body and turning the

blending attachment in an anti-clock wise direction (B).

NEVER USE YOUR APPLIANCE IN A BOWL OR SAUCEPAN WHILE

COOKING.

SETTING THE VARIABLE SPEED

You can adjust the speed at which the stick blender operates.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USE

•Move the blending attachment gently around the mixture to ensure uniform

results.

•If you want to clean the sides and base of the beaker/container with a hand-held

utensil, first switch the machine OFF (by switching it off at the wall socket).

•To avoid unnecessary splashing, immerse the blending attachment into the

mixture before switching the appliance ON.

•The speed can be adjusted at any time. Use the LOW speed setting for the

thicker consistency. Use the HIGH speed setting for finer consistency.

CLEANING

NOTE: Use extreme care when handling the blade at the bottom of the blending arm. Do

not touch the blade with your fingers. The blade is very sharp and can cause injury.

•Make sure the unit is unplugged from the main power supply.

•Disconnect the blending tool from the motor.

•It is much easier to clean the accessories directly after their use.

Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry well.

•The beaker must be washed with luke warm water.

•The body of the stick blender can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and must

immediately be buffed with a dry cloth.

•The blending attachment can be washed in warm soapy water or can be washed

in a dishwasher.

•To remove stubborn spots wipe the surface with a piece of cloth slightly

dampened in soapy water.

Follow with a clean damp cloth.

•When processing foods with colour (e.g. carrots), the parts of the appliance may

become discoloured. Wipe these parts with vegetable oil before washing them.

•Do not use any abrasive cleaning material to clean any part of the stick blender,

as it will harm the exterior.

CAUTION: The stick blender motor should never be submerged in water or held under

running tap water. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

STORING THE APPLIANCE

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and clean all the parts as instructed above.

Ensure that all parts are dry before storing.

•Store the appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place.

•Never store the appliance while it is still wet or dirty.

•Never wrap the power cord around the appliance.
