CHOPPER ATTACHMENT
To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, blade, and lid immediately
after use so that food won't dry on them. Do not submerge the
work bowl lid in water or put in the dishwasher. Wash chopping
blade and work bowl in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe the
underside of the cover with a sponge or damp cloth to remove any
food. Wash the blade carefully. Avoid leaving it in soapy water where
it may disappear from sight.
You can wash the work bowl and chopping blade on the upper shelf
of your dishwasher. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid contact
with the sharp blade. Wipe the motor body and top of the cover with
a damp sponge or cloth. Dry immediately. Never submerge the
motor body or the cover in water or other liquids. The chopper
attachment is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
When not in use, your hand blender should be disconnected,
wiped down, and stored in a safe, dry location out of reach of
children.

TIPS AND HINTS

BLENDING
• Cut solid foods into 1-2 cm cubes for easier blending.
• When blending in the 700ml beaker, pour liquid ingredients in
first, unless the recipe instructs otherwise.
• To avoid splashing, don't turn the hand blender on until the blade
guard is submerged beneath the surface of the mixture, and do
not pull the hand blender out of the mixture until the blade has
completely stopped.
• Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids
with liquids.
• To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup
ingredients to the desired consistency, using a gentle up-and-
down motion directly in the saucepan or pot.
• When blending ingredients in a pot or pan, tilt the pan away from
you to create a deeper area for blending and to prevent splatter.
• If blending a small volume of liquid, tilt the container slightly, to
submerge the blade guard, for best results.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch
the coating with the hand blender.
• Liquid should not come closer than 3cms of where the shaft
attaches to the power handle.
• The hand blender froths milk perfectly for cappuccino and lattes.
Just warm milk in a small saucepan, then pulse the hand blender
gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully
submerged.
