•For best blending, hold the Immersion Blender at an angle and gently move up and down within the container. Do not pound down on the mixture with the Immersion Blender.

•Be sure the extra long cord of the Immersion Blender is not extending over a hot heating element.

•Do not let the Immersion Blender sit in a hot pan on the cooking surface 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 Immersion Blender to process coffee beans or hard spices such as nutmegs. Processing these foods could damage the blades of the Immersion Blender.

•To prevent overflow, allow room in the container for the mixture to rise when using the Immersion Blender.
