USEFUL TIPS
• Cut foods into smaller pieces for ease of chopping when using the
chopper attachment.
• Insert the hand blender into product to be processed before turning
the unit on to avoid splashing, especially with hot liquids. Also turn
the unit off before removal from the mixture.
• When blending on a cooking surface, turn the burner off before
blending in the saucepan. Failure to do this may cause harm to the
hand blender.
• For optimal blending allow the blender to be immersed at an
angle allowing air flow, thus blending more consistently.
• Remove hard items from the mixture before blending.
6
• Do not use the mixing cup or chopper bowl in the microwave oven.
• When using the stainless steel whisk attachment, a deep container
should be used to avoid splatter.
TROUBLESHOOTING

• The unit is not blending properly. Are the attachments installed
correctly? Remove attachments and reattach.

to a service representative. The service representative will be
glad to assist you with any issue. Please do not return the product to
the place where it was purchased.
CLEANING AND SERVICE
• Always switch off and unplug before cleaning.
• Handle blades with extreme care, as they are sharp.
• Do not put motor housing in the dishwasher.
• Some foods may discolor the chopper bowl and mixing cup. This is
normal and will not harm the plastic nor affect the flavor of the food.
Rub with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil to remove discoloration.
• Never immerse or run water over the motor housing. Always wipe
clean with a damp cloth.
• Wash all attachments with warm soapy water. The stainless steel
blending attachment and the stainless steel whisk attachment may be
cleaned by using them in the mixing cup filled with warm soapy
water.
