You can operate the handblender in the measuring beaker, 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.

How to operate your whisk

Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating egg whites and mixing sponges and ready-mix desserts.

2.Place the whisk in a vessel and only then, press switch B to operate it.

3.To release, press buttons D and pull off the gear box. Then pull the whisk out of the gear box.

For best results:

•Use a wide vessel.

•Only whip up to 400 ml chilled cream (min. 30 % fat content, 4 – 8 °C).

•Only whip up to 4 egg whites.

•Move the whisk clockwise.
