TIPS AND HINTS

1.Liquid should come within an inch (2.5 cm) of where the shaft attaches to the motor housing.

2.Some spices may scratch the chopper/grinder attachment.

3.When using with a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the coating with the hand blender.

4.Do not immerse motor body housing, chopper/grinder cover, or whisk gearbox in water or any other liquid.

5.Cut most solid foods into 1⁄2" (1.25 cm) cubes for easy blending. Suggestion: use chopper/grinder for chopping and grinding solid foods.

6.Pour liquid ingredients into the Mixing/Measuring Cup container first, unless recipe instructs otherwise.

7.To avoid splashing, don’t turn the hand blender on until the blade is beneath the surface of the mixture and do not pull the hand blender out of the mixture while blender is running.

8.Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.

9.Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending mixture, as these are liable to damage the blades.

10.Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when blending, and can overflow.

11.Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with liquids.

12.For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for best results.

13.Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and incorporate ingredients uniformly.

14.To avoid spatter, turn the hand blender off and let the blade stop completely before lifting the unit out of the mixture you are processing.

15.To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.
