		groove on the Chopper Bowl (see figure 1).
		Insert cover tab into groove of Bowl and

		Cover. Use a pulse action when chopping
		by pressing and releasing the Pulse Button
		until desired consistency.

		more than 15 seconds when using chopper
		attachment, otherwise food will be too
		finely chopped.

		Pulse Button and unplug the Motor Base.
		To remove the lid, turn the Motor Base
		counter clockwise and lift straight up.

Helpful Hints

•The hand blender can be used in hot liquids. Always use care when using in hot liquids. To avoid splashing when using the hand blender in a saucepan, insert the hand blender into the pan first, set the speed dial to “1”, and then press the Pulse Button. Slowly increase the speed to your desired setting. Caution: Do not tilt or lift the Immersion Blender out of the pan while the motor is running, as a serious burn or injury can occur from food splatter.

•To puree foods, a certain amount of liquid is needed.

Add cooking liquid, broth, juice, milk, or cream, until desired consistency is reached.

•For thorough blending, move blade up and down in mixture until smooth.

•You will achieve better mixing results if you use deep, tall containers.

•For easy cleanup, unplug blender and rinse under running water immediately after using.

•Place liquid ingredients into the beaker first unless recipe specifically states otherwise.

•Before turning the appliance on, immerse the hand blender attachment into the prepared ingredients, thus ensuring they will not spill over.

•For greater efficiency, move the appliance in small outward spiraling circles while mixing, without touching the bottom of the beaker with the hand blender attachment.

•The hand blender attachment cannot blend hard or fibrous ingre- dients unless they are in less than 1/2" pieces, soft ones into 1/2 - 1" pieces.

•Some foods require a small amount of liquid to allow them to move freely around the blades. Soft or wetter foods require less liquid, while dry ingredients require more liquid. Add the liquid a little at a time until the mix gains the required consistency.

•When using the hand blender, ensure the blades are covered to avoid splashing.
