Operating Tips

Cut solid foods into small pieces for easier blending or chopping.

The Hand Blender is equipped with thermal protection from high operating temperatures. Should the Hand Blender suddenly stop during use, unplug it and allow 10 minutes to automatically reset.

To avoid splashing, insert the Hand Blender into the mixture before pressing the power button, and release the power button before pulling the Hand Blender out of the mixture.

When blending in a saucepan on a cooktop, remove the pan from the heating element to protect the Hand Blender from overheating.

For best blending, hold the Hand Blender at an angle and gently move up and down within the container. Do not pound down on the mixture with the Hand Blender.

To prevent overflow, allow room in the container for the mixture to rise when using the Hand Blender.

Be sure the extra long cord of the Hand Blender is not extending over a hot heating element.

Do not let the Hand Blender sit in a hot pan on the cooktop while not in use.

Remove hard items, such as fruit pits or bones, from the mixture before blending or chopping to help prevent damage to the blades.

Do not use your Hand Blender to process coffee beans or hard spices such as nutmegs. Processing these foods could damage the blades of the Hand Blender.

Do not use the pitcher or the chopper bowl in the microwave oven.

The stainless steel whisk may scratch or mark non-stick coatings; avoid using the whisk in non-stick cookware.

To prevent splattering, use the whisk attachment in deep containers or pans.
