mixture and do not pull the blender out of the mixture while it is running.

Blending Tips

•Liquid should not come closer than within an inch of where the wand at- taches to the main unit.

•Do not immerse the main unit in liquid or water.

•Do not let the blender stand in a hot pot on the stove while not in use.

•Do not put fruit pits, bones or other hard ingredients into the blending mix- ture, as these are liable to damage the blades.

•Do not fill the container too full. The level of the mixture will rise when im- mersing the wand as well as when blending and can splash or overflow the container. If you are blending large amounts, separate into smaller batches to blend.

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

•When recipes call for ice, use crushed ice, not cubed ice.

•The gentle up-and-down motion described above will mix the ingredients most uniformly and give you the best result.

•Towhip air into a mixture, hold the blade just under the surface of the mix- ture. Be careful not to raise the blade above the surface and cause splashing.

•Tomake soup creamy in texture, use the Hand Blender to puree solid ingredi- ents to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-down motion right in your saucepan.

•When blending butter,remove the butter from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for best results.
