Before using the KitchenAid® Hand Blender for the first time, wipe the motor body and attachment adapters with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Mild dish soap may be used, but do not use abrasive cleansers.
NOTE: Do not immerse the motor body or the adapters in water.
Dry with a soft cloth. Wash all the attachments and accessories by hand or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly.
NOTE: Always be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall socket before attaching or removing attachments.
Use the Blending Arm attachment for smoothies, milk shakes, soup, cooked vegetables, frosting, or baby food.
Insert Hand Blender with Blending Arm attached into the jar containing ingredients at an angle. Use your free hand to cover the top of the blending jar for better stability and avoid splattering. Remember to stop the Hand Blender before removing it from the jar to avoid splashing.
Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of the jar momentarily then hold at an angle and slowly draw it upwards against the side of the jar. As the Hand Blender is drawn up you will notice the ingredients from the bottom of the jar being drawn up. When the ingredients are no longer being drawn up from the bottom, return the Hand Blender to the bottom of the jar and repeat the process until the ingredients are at the desired consistency.
Using a light circular motion from your wrist, draw the Hand Blender up slightly and let it fall again into the ingredients. Allow your wrist motion and the weight of the Hand Blender to do the work.
Use the Whisk to whip cream, beat egg whites, mix instant puddings, vinaigrettes, mousse, or making mayonnaise.
Cut Hazard
Handle blades carefully.
Failure to do so can result in cuts.
Use the Chopper attachmen to chop small amounts of food such as cooked meat, cheese, vegetables, herbs, crackers, bread, and nuts.
