Always release the button before removing the stick blender from the food, especially when using the stick blender in hot liquids. Always hold the stick blender with your hand while processing. Never leave unit unattended.

Do Not use the stick blender on the stove. If you want to use it in a saucepan while cooking, you must first remove saucepan from the stove.

Using the Stick Blender

Pureeing soups, sauces, fruits and vegetables:

*Fruits and vegetables should be peeled, cored and seeded.

*Food should be cut up into pieces no larger than 3/4-inch.

*Cook the food in liquid until very soft and tender.

*Puree cooked food ONLY after allowing it to cool down.

*Food can also be pureed directly in the pot after being allowed to cool.

*Place the Stick Blender in the center of the food in an upright position with the processor end resting directly on the bottom of the bowl or pot.

*The processor end must always be immersed in the food. DO NOT lift up and out of food while operating since the hot food will splatter and may cause burns.

*While holding the power pack and the stick blender in your hand, press and hold down on the switch with your index finger.

*Release once the food has reached the desired consistency.

*Do not operate continuously for more than 1 minute.

*If pieces of unprocessed food remain, or if there are any lumps, continue pureeing the food. Mash the food pieces or lumps by slightly raising and then lowering the stick blender over those pieces.
