OPERATING YOUR HANd BlENdER

Operating Tips

• Cut solid foods into small pieces for
easier blending or chopping.
• The Hand Blender is equipped with
thermal protection from high operating
temperatures. Should the Hand Blender
suddenly stop during use, unplug it and
allow 10 minutes to automatically reset.
• To avoid splashing, insert the Hand
Blender into the mixture before
pressing the power button, and release
the power button before pulling the
Hand Blender out of the mixture.
• When blending in a saucepan on a
cooktop, remove the pan from the
heating element to protect the Hand
Blender from overheating.
• For best blending, hold the Hand
Blender at an angle and gently move up
and down within the container. Do not
pound down on the mixture with the
Hand Blender.
