Recommendations when using the Cordless Hand Blender as a stick blender:

The Cordless Hand Blender blends foods and liquids rapidly, therefore it is easy to over-process. Remember when using the Cordless Hand Blender, check food throughout operation.

The stainless steel blending shaft on the Cordless Hand Blender allows for hot food to be processed directly in the saucepan. This makes blending soups and sauces very easy. For safety reasons, remove the saucepan away from the heat source before processing. Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is kept away from any heat source.

When pureeing and blending, cut food into uniform sizes. This will ensure smooth and consistent results.

Warm all liquids to be added to soups and purees, this will ensure even blending.

Use the storage lid of the mixing jug as a non slip base for the jug during blending. This will keep the jug stable.

Do not operate the appliance continuously for more than 60 seconds. Allow the motor to rest for 1 minute between each use.

If food becomes lodged around the blade or in the blade guard, follow these safety instructions:

1.Switch the Cordless Hand Blender off by releasing the Power and Speed buttons.

2.Remove the blending shaft from the motor body.

3.Use a spatula to carefully dislodge the food. Do not use fingers as the blades are sharp.

4.After the food has been removed and the blades are clear, re-attach the blending shaft to the motor body and continue blending.

THE STAINLESS STEEL ICE CRUSHING BLADES ON THE BLENDING SHAFT ARE EXTREMELY SHARP, KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM THE BLADES AT ALL TIMES.
