2. Cut large ingredients into pieces of approximately ¾ inch before processing.
3. Pour all contents to be processed into a mixing bowl, pot, pan or pitcher.
4. Attach the rod to the hand blender.

   Press and hold down the ON/OFF button and begin to blend.
   
7. Move the hand blender slowly up and down & in circles to blend the ingredients.
   TIP: For optimal performance, use in short bursts of 10 seconds or less. Allow item to cool another 10 seconds in between bursts.
8. When finished, release the ON/OFF button to turn the hand blender OFF and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Carefully remove it from the mixing bowl or pan.

NOTE:

• Do not add any ingredients or liquid as you process.
• Always shut the blender OFF before removing from your mixing bowl or pan to avoid splattering.

To avoid splattering, only turn the hand blender ON after you have inserted it into the bowl or pan. Do not turn the hand blender ON before inserting into your mixing bowl or pan.

Processing Guide

NOTE: This serves only as a guide. Actual times may vary.

WHEN BLENDING IN A CUP (PLASTIC):
Always use a shatter-proof plastic cylinder shaped cup.
Tall cups are recommended.

FOR SAUCEPAN & POT BLENDING:
Make sure to remove the saucepan from the stove-top or other source of heat to prevent the hand blender from overheating and to reduce the risk of splattering extremely hot contents, as this could lead to serious personal injury.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

• NEVER IMMERSE THE ENTIRE HAND BLENDER OR ITS MOTOR-END OR POWER CORD IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
• Always shut the blender off, wait until the blades stop spinning and unplug from the outlet before cleaning.
• Never clean the surface of your hand blender while it is plugged into the electric outlet.
• The hand blender has no user serviceable parts, do not attempt to repair. If the hand blender is malfunctioning in any way or if any part gets damaged, call customer service or your authorized service agent.
• Do not use abrasive soaps, detergents, or cleaning materials to clean any part of this appliance.

1. Make sure the unit is off and unplugged from your electrical outlet.
2. Remove the detachable rod and place under warm running water immediately after blending, for an easy clean-up.
3. For deep cleaning, take any empty, clean bowl and fill with warm soapy water about half way or enough to cover the blades.
4. Insert the hand blender into the bowl and run for a few seconds.
5. Rinse out the container and the detachable rod with warm water and dry thoroughly.
6. Wipe motor-end of unit with a clean, damp cloth.
7. Always dry all parts of the Hand Blender thoroughly before cleaning or storing.

TIPS

• The hand blender performs its tasks very quickly. Stop blender frequently to check the consistency before contents become too fine or over blended.
• Cut all solid foods such as cooked meats, vegetables and fruit into ¾ inch pieces before blending.
• It will sometimes be necessary to stop blending and remove the blade-end from the ingredients and reinsert several times before mixture becomes smooth.
• To avoid splattering, do not lift unit out of ingredients while the motor is still on.
• For fluffy shakes, aerate upper part of mixture by raising blender from bottom of container. This is great for turning heavy cream into fluffy whipped cream.
• Avoid getting mixture up past the joining section of the blender shaft and the power handle.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used:

1. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product;
2. the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
