Special Notes On Cord Plug, Tips | Continental Electric CE22841

SPECIAL NOTES ON CORD PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug can fit into a polarized socket only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way

How to Operate

1.Plug power cord into 120 volt AC outlet.

2.Place blade-end of unit directly into included beaker or bottom of a tall plastic container holding ingredients to be blended.

3.Your blender has LO and HI speeds for quick blending. Press the LO or HI switch for continuous blending. Blending action stops when switch is released.

NOTE: During use, it is normal for a suction to be created at the bottom of the container.

4.For a short “burst” of blending, quickly push and release the LO or HI switch.

5.After blending, unplug unit.

CAUTION: Do not use blender in saucepan directly on stovetop. Remove pan from heat before blending. To avoid splatter, never lift blender out of hot ingredients while motor is on.

How to Clean Your Hand Blender

1.For easy cleaning, place blade-end of unit under hot, running water immediately after blending is completed.

2.Wipe motor-end of handle with a damp cloth or sponge.

3.The shaft, chopper bowl, blade, and beaker are all dishwasher safe. Do not put the chopper cover in the dishwasher.

•Cut all solids (cooked meats, vegetables and fruit) into approximately 1-inch pieces before blending.
