mixture and do not pull the blender out of the mixture while it is running.
8. Work through the ingredients with a gentle up and down motion. When
blending is complete, release the speed selector button and unplug the unit
from the outlet.
9. Detach the blending wand after unplugging the unit by holding the main unit
and turning the blending wand counter-clockwise.
10. When using the hand blender continuously, it is recommended to stop and let
the machine rest for 5 minutes to prevent overheating.
11. When finished, remember to wash and dry all parts as described above.
Blending Tips
•
Liquid should not come closer than within an inch of where the wand at-
taches to the main unit.
• Do not immerse the main unit in liquid or water.
• Do not let the blender stand in a hot pot on the stove while not in use.
• Do not put fruit pits, bones or other hard ingredients into the blending mix-
ture, as these are liable to damage the blades.
• Do not fill the container too full. The level of the mixture will rise when im-
mersing the wand as well as when blending and can splash or overflow the
container. If you are blending large amounts, separate into smaller batches to
blend.
• Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with liquids.
• When recipes call for ice, use crushed ice, not cubed ice.
• The gentle up-and-down motion described above will mix the ingredients
most uniformly and give you the best result.
• To whip air into a mixture, hold the blade just under the surface of the mix-
ture. Be careful not to raise the blade above the surface and cause splashing.
• To make soup creamy in texture, use the Hand Blender to puree solid ingredi-
ents to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-down motion right in
your saucepan.
• When blending butter, remove the butter from the refrigerator and let it come
to room temperature for best results.
