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, and then press the ON/OFF switch for operation.
•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 specifi- cally 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.
Care & Cleaning
1.Unplug the unit from the outlet. Remove the blender rod attachment from the motor base for cleaning by turning it to the right. Remove metal attachment. Clean in warm, soapy water.
Caution: Blades are sharp. Handle with care.
2.If food particles are not easily rinsed off the blender rod or attachment, place a drop of dish detergent in a mixing container with one cup of warm water. Plug cord into outlet. Immerse the blade portion and metal rod and operate the unit for about 10 seconds. Unplug, rinse under hot water, then dry.
3.Simply wipe the motor base clean with a damp cloth. Never hold the motor base under running water.
4.Do not use pointed or sharp objects to remove food particles.
5.If the plastic parts of the unit become discolored (i.e. after processing carrots), wipe these areas with cooking oil and clean as directed.
6.To clean the food chopper attachment, remove the bowl cover first, then the chopping blade and the blade shaft. Do not immerse the chopper bowl cover in water. Wipe with a damp cloth using dishwashing liquid if necessary. The chopper bowl and chopping blade can be washed in warm, soapy water. In order not to damage the bowl, it is recommended not to use abrasive or harsh cleansers.
7.Important: Do not try to sharpen the cutting edges of any blades. They have been precision honed at the factory and will be damaged by any attempted sharpening.
