OPERATION

BLENDING

The specially designed blade is for mixing and pureeing all kinds of foods including salad dressings, powdered drink products, soups, sauces and blended drinks like milkshakes.
This blade mixes and stirs while adding only a minimum of air to your mixture. A gentle up and-down motion is al you need to make the most flavorful full-bodied recipes. Be careful never to remove the blending shaft from the liquid while in operation, to avoid splatter.
Tilt the pan or bowl away from you if needed to ensure the protective blade guard on the blending shaft is fully submerged.

Put the blending shaft into the mixture to be blended.
Press and hold the desired speed button. The hand blender will continue to run as long as the button is pressed in. To turn the hand blender off, release the power button and the motor will stop.
Unplug immediately after use.

Do not use fingers near the blade. To dislodge food, unplug the blender from the power outlet first.
Do not use in non-stick cookware, as the blender may scratch and damage the non-stick coating.

Put food into the work bowl. Be sure the food is cut into small pieces (1/2 to 1inch), and the bowl is not overloaded

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DEVICE

Always clean the main body and blending shaft thoroughly after using. Remove the blending shaft from the main body. Clean the main body only with a sponge or damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. To clean the blending shaft, wash by hand in hot water using mild detergent. Be mindful of the fixed razor-sharp edges.

CHOPPER/GRINDER ATTACHMENT

To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, blade and cover immediately after use so that food won't dry on them. Do not submerge the work bowl cover in water or put in the dishwasher. Wash the 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 remain unseen.
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 it immediately. Never submerge the motor body or the cover in water or other liquids The food processor attachment is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

TIPS AND HINTS

FOR THE UNIT

Be sure that the blending blade guard is fully submerged before blending ingredients.
To puree 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 directly in a pot or pan, tilt the pan away from you to create a deeper area for blending to prevent splatter.
Do not use in non-stick cookware to protect the non-stick coating. If you do, be careful not to scratch the coating with the hand blender.
When blending in a cup, for example when making a fruit smoothie, cut most solid foods into 1/2 inch pieces for easy blending.
Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
Do not immerse the main body of the blender in water or any other liquid.
When blending in the cup, pour liquid ingredients in first, unless the recipe instructs otherwise.
Do not attempt to blend/mix ice cubes, bones, coffee beans or other hard materials, as these are liable to damage the blades.
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.
Do not overfill the containers. The level of the mixture will rise when blending and can overflow.
To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.
Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and incorporate ingredients uniformly.
Liquid should not come closer than 1 inch of where the shaft attaches to the main body.

FOR WHISK ATTACHMENT

Do not immerse whisk attachment gear in water or any other liquid.
Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites.
When beating egg whites use a very clean metal or g ass bowl, never plastic. Plastic can contain hidden oils and fats that can ruin the delicate egg white foam. To help stabilize the egg whites, add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg white prior to beating them. (If using a copper bowl omit the cream of tartar. Beat the egg until desired peaks form.)
It may also be used for any task that you would normally whisk by hand, like crepe batters or eggs for omelets.
Beating the egg whites too long causes them to dry out and become less stable
When adding sugar to beaten egg whites, add it slowly when soft peaks just begin to form and then continue beating to form desired peaks
When beating heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a chilled bowl and chill the whisk attachment. The best shaped bowl for whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom to minimize any splatter.
The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping.
Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks depending on preference. It may be flavored as desired. For best results, whip cream just before using.

FOR CHOPPER/GRINDER ATTACHMENT

When making compound butters, remove the butter from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before blending the ingredients. Do not use the chopping bowl or the beaker in a microwave oven. Some spices may scratch the work bowl.
Liquids in the work bowl should not exceed 1/2 cups.
Do not overload the work bowl. For best results most foods should not each more than 2/3 of the way up the work bowl.
Do not attempt to chop ice cubes, bones, coffee beans or other hard materials, as these are liable to damage the blades.
Do not immerse the food processor cover in water or any other liquid.
Do not operate chopper/grinder attachment for more than 30 seconds continuously.
The size of pieces you put in the bowl should be about the same size to achieve
For raw ingredients: peel, core and/or remove seeds and pits. Food should be between 1/2and 1-inch, depending on hardness of the food.
Pulse food in 1-second increments to chop. For the finest chop, process continuously. Watch ingredients closely to achieve desired consistency and scrape the work bowl as necessary.
