FOR HAND BLENDER

•Be sure that blending blade guard is fully submerged before blending ingredients.

•To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup ingredients to the desired consistency, using a gentle up-and-down motion right in the saucepan or pot.

•When blending ingredients right in a pot or pan tilt the pan away from you to create a deeper area for blending to prevent splatter.

•When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the coating with the hand blender.

•When blending into the blending cup, for example when making a fruit smoothie, cut most solid foods into ½ inch pieces for easy blending.

•Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.

•Do not immerse motor body housing in water or any other liquid.

•When blending in the mixing cup, pour liquid ingredients in first, unless recipe instructs otherwise.

•The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or lattés.

Just warm milk in a small saucepan, and then pulse the hand blender gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully submerged.

•Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.

•Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones or other hard materials as these are liable to damage the blades.
