How to use the appliance
Hand blender
(see A)
The hand blender is perfectly suited for
preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayon-
naise and baby food as well as for mixing
drinks, smoothies or milk shakes.
• Click the motor part (3) onto the
blender shaft (5).
• Position the hand blender deep in a
bowl or beaker. Only then, press switch
(1) or (2) to operate. For best blending
results use speed «II».
• After use, press the release buttons (4)
to detach the motor part.
When blending directly in a saucepan
while cooking, remove the pan from the
stove first to avoid splashing of the boiling
liquid (risk of scalding).
Recipe example: Mayonnaise
250 g oil (e.g. sunflower oil),
1 egg and 1 extra egg yolk
1–2 tbsp. vinegar (approx. 15 g),
salt and pepper to taste
Place all ingredients (at room temperature)
into the beaker in the order as above.
Place the hand blender on the bottom of
the beaker. Operate the hand blender at
maximum speed, keep it in this position
until the oil starts emulsifying. Then
without switching off slowly raise the shaft
to the top of the mixture and back down to
incorporate the rest of the oil. Processing
time: from 1 minute (for salad) up to
2 minutes for more stiffness (e.g. for dip).
Whisk
(see A)
Use the whisk only for whipping cream,
beating egg whites and mixing sponges
and ready-mix desserts.
• Insert the whisk (6b) into the whisk
gear box (6a), then click the motor part
(3) onto the gear box.
• Place the whisk deep in a bowl. Only
then, press switch (1) to operate.
