How to operate your handblender

The handblender is perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise and baby food as well as for mixing drinks and milkshakes.

1.Insert the motor part A into the shaft with blade C and turn until it locks.

2.To avoid splashing, insert the hand- blender into the vessel first, only then press switch B .

You can operate the handblender in the mixing beaker F , and just as well in any other vessel. When blending directly in the saucepan while cooking, take the pan from the stove first to protect your handblender from overheating.

Recipe example: Mayonnaise 200 – 250 ml oil

1 egg (yolk and white)

1 tbsp. lemon juice or vinegar Salt and pepper to taste

Put all ingredients into the beaker according to the a.m. order. Introduce the handblender to the base of the beaker, switch it on and keep it in this position until the oil emulsifies. Then, without switching off, slowly move it up and down until the mayonnaise is well combined.

How to operate your whisk

Use the gear attachment with whisk only for whipping cream, beating eggwhites and mixing sponges and ready-mix desserts.

1.Insert the whisk (D2) into the gear attachment (D1) until it locks.

2.Then insert the motor part A into the gear attachment (D1) until it locks.

3.Insert the whisk into the vessel and only then press switch to operate it.

For best results:

•Use a wide vessel.

•Only whip up to 400 ml chilled cream.

•Only whip up to 4 eggwhites.

•Move the whisk clockwise.

How to use your chopper attachment

The chopper is perfectly suited for chopping meat, cheese, onions, herbs, garlic, carrots, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, prunes etc.

Pre-cut meat, cheese, onions, garlic, carrots, chilis (see table page 3). Remove stalks and un-shell nuts.

N.B.:

Beef: before chopping, all bones, tendons and gristle should be removed.

Do not chop ice cubes or extremely hard food, such as nutmeg, coffee beans, chocolate and grains.

1.Carefully remove the plastic cover from the blade (b).

2.Caution: the blade (b) is very sharp! Always hold it by the upper plastic part. Place the blade on the centre pin of the chopper bowl (c), press it down and turn 90° until it locks. Always place the chopper bowl (c) on the anti-slip base (d).

Cleaning

After use, remove the shaft with blade or the chopper. Clean the motor part A and the gear attachment (D1) with a damp cloth only. All other parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher. However, after processing very salty food, you should rinse the blades of the shaft and the chopper right away. Also, be careful not to use in your dishwasher an overdose of cleaner and decalcifier.

When processing foods with colour (e.g. carrots), the plastic parts of the appliance may become discoloured. Wipe these parts with vegetable oil before cleaning.
