5 Whatever container you use, make sure it's on a stable, flat surface, and support it
with your free hand, to prevent it wandering over the work surface.
6 Don't immerse the wand past the top of the parallel-sided tube.
7 Don't try to chip ice, don't try to chop raw meat, and take great care with the
blades.
8 Don't run the motor for more than one minute at a time, then leave it for a
minute to cool down before using it again.
avoiding spray/splashing
a) hold the wand straight
b) don't switch on till it's well inside the food container
c) switch off before lifting it out of the container
d) with liquids, switch on and off with the blade under the surface
hot liquids
9 The wand will withstand temperatures near boiling point. When using it in hot
liquids, don't let the blade break the surface at an angle, as you might
spray liquid outside the bowl/pan/container.
10 Don't use the wand in hot oil – not even moderately hot oil. While you
may be able to stand fairly hot water, oil at the same temperature will cause painful
burns. Water can be thrown off immediately and the skin will rapidly cool, but oil
will stick to the skin and blister it.
the beaker
11 Don't fill above the 1000ml mark on the beaker, to prevent the contents escaping.
12 Sit it on a stable, flat work surface, and support it with your free hand.
13 Don't lift it off the work surface and hold it in your hand – if it slips, you'll hurt
yourself.
care and maintenance
14 Clean the hand blender after each use.
15 Switch the hand blender off, and unplug it.
16 Take great care with the blade – don't handle it directly, use a washing-up brush.
17 Wipe the handle surfaces with a soft damp cloth.
18 Don't put the handle in water or any other liquid.
19 You may wash the beaker and its non-slip base in warm soapy water.
20 Don't put any part of the hand blender in a dishwasher.
21 Don't use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
