For better blending: Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of the container momentarily, then hold at an angle and using a light circular motion, slowly draw it upwards against the side of the container. Allow your wrist motion and the weight of the Hand Blender to do the work. As you draw up the Hand Blender, you will notice the ingredients from the bottom of the container rising up. When the ingredients are no longer rising from the bottom, return the Hand Blender to the bottom of the container and repeat until mixture is at the desired consistency.

TIP: To prevent overflow, allow room in the container for the mixture to rise when blending.

For better crushing: Insert Hand Blender with blending arm attached into the container. For hard, frozen fruits or ice, add a small amount of liquid until the S-blade is submerged. Remember to stop the Hand Blender before removing it from the container to avoid splashing.

Operating tips

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

The Hand Blender is equipped with thermal protection from high operating temperatures. Should the Hand Blender suddenly stop during use, press the UNLOCK button once, then press the PULSE button. If the unit does not operate, but shows information on the battery indicator bar, allow 10 minutes to automatically reset. If the unit does not display information on the battery indicator bar, charge the battery. If the battery is already fully charged, and the unit fails to operate, see the “Service and Warranty” section.

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

Cut solid foods into small pieces for easier blending.

Do not use Hand Blender to process coffee beans or hard spices such as nutmeg. Processing these foods may damage the blades.
