3. Work through the ingredients in the mixing jug
with a gentle raising and lowering motion.
4. Switch off the Cordless Hand Blender motor by
releasing the Power and Speed buttons.
5. Ensure the motor has completely stopped before
lifting the Cordless Hand Blender out of the
mixing jug.
Recommendations when using
the Cordless Hand Blender as a
stick blender:
• The Cordless Hand Blender blends foods and
liquids rapidly, therefore it is easy to over-process.
Remember when using the Cordless Hand Blender,
check food throughout operation.
• The stainless steel blending shaft on the Cordless
Hand Blender allows for hot food to be processed
directly in the saucepan. This makes blending
soups and sauces very easy. For safety reasons,
remove the saucepan away from the heat source
before processing. Ensure the Cordless Hand
Blender is kept away from any heat source.
• When pureeing and blending, cut food into
uniform sizes. This will ensure smooth and
consistent results.
• Warm all liquids to be added to soups and purees,
this will ensure even blending.
• Use the storage lid of the mixing jug as a non slip
base for the jug during blending. This will keep the
jug stable.
• Do not operate the appliance continuously for more
than 60 seconds. Allow the motor to rest for 1
minute between each use.
If food becomes lodged around the
blade or in the blade guard, follow
these safety instructions:
1. Switch the Cordless Hand Blender off by
releasing the Power and Speed buttons.
2. Remove the blending shaft from the motor body.
3. Use a spatula to carefully dislodge the food. Do
not use fingers as the blades are sharp.
4. After the food has been removed and the blades
are clear, re-attach the blending shaft to the
motor body and continue blending.
Cordless Hand Blender (stick blender)
To detach the stainless steel
blending shaft
Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
keeping hands clear of the Power button and Speed
button. Unscrew the blending shaft from the
motor body in a clockwise direction (See Fig. 1).
To attach the stainless steel
blending shaft
Hold the shaft with the blades down, and align the
top end of the blending shaft with the corresponding
end of the motor body. Screw the shaft into the motor
body in an anti-clockwise direction.
To use the stick blender
Ensure the stick blender is completely and properly
assembled as detailed on the left.
1. Place food to be processed into the mixing jug
provided (or a sufficiently large mixing bowl or
saucepan). The mixing jug provided should only
be filled up to the 'LIQUID MAX' mark when
blending liquids.
2. Place the blending shaft as deeply as possible
into the mixing jug and depress the Power button
(top button) to turn the Cordless Hand Blender
on. While still depressing the Power button,
depress the Speed button (bottom button). To
select the desired speed, the Speed button
should be lightly depressed for low speed and
firmly depressed for high speed. Both the Power
button and the Speed button must be depressed
simultaneously for the required duration of
operation (see Fig. 2).
