ASSEMBLY & OPERATION

Before first use

Remove any packaging material and promotional labels. Remove the blending shaft from the motor body and wash it in warm soapy water (follow the instructions on page 10 “To detach the blending shaft”). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure no water remains inside the blending shaft to avoid water running into the motor body when reattached.

Disassemble and wash the chopping blade, chopping bowl, chopping bowl lid, storage lid and blending jug in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure no water remains in the chopping bowl lid attachment to avoid water running into the motor body when reattached.

NOTE

The detachable blending shaft, chopping bowl, chopping blade, blending jug and dual purpose storage lid/anti-slip mat can also be washed in the dishwasher. The chopping bowl lid is not dishwasher safe – see the care and cleaning section of this booklet for cleaning instructions of these parts.

This stick blender is a versatile appliance that can be attached to:

•The stainless steel blending shaft– for use as a stick blender

•The chopping bowl with chopping blade and lid – for use as a mini chopper

STICK BLENDER

To attach the blending shaft

Hold the blending shaft with the blades down, and align the top end of the blending shaft with the corresponding end of the motor body and push until the blending shaft ‘clicks’ and locks onto the motor body.

Always ensure blending shaft is dry with no water left inside before reattaching.

TO USE AS A STICK BLENDER

Ensure the blending shaft is assembled to the motor body as detailed above.

1.Place food to be processed into the blending jug provided (or a sufficiently large mixing bowl or saucepan). The jug provided should only be ½ full or less when blending liquids or when making a puree of fruit and/or vegetables.

2.Insert the plug into a 110/120V power outlet.

3.By turning the speed control dial at the top of motor body, select a speed between 'LOW' and 'HIGH'.

NOTE

If selecting 'HIGH' speed, it is recommended that you start with 'LOW' speed and then increase to 'HIGH' speed to avoid splattering and over processing.

4.Place the blending shaft as deeply as possible into the blending jug and press the trigger switch to turn the stick blender on. The button must be held for the required duration of operation.
