Care, cleaning and storage
13
Dishwashing is not recommended for
any part of the Cordless Hand Blender.
Under no circumstances should the blending shaft be
placed in the dishwasher. The caustic chemicals used
in dishwashers will inevitably damage the seals and
bearings that support the rotating shafts reducing
their service life.
For longest life, we recommend hand washing the
exposed blade portion of the blending shaft in the
sink, avoiding water entering the inside of the shaft
as much as possible.
While the transparent mixing jug is made from high
quality plastic material, (which will not be damaged
by the occasional dishwashing on the top shelf only),
for maximum life we recommend hand washing in
the sink.
Stick blender
Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
releasing the Power and Speed buttons. Remove the
stainless steel blending shaft from the motor body.
The stainless steel blending shaft should be hand
washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and dried
thoroughly after each use. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or steel wool.
QUICK WASH: Between each processing task, with
the motor body attached and turned off, place the
stainless steel blending shaft into a jug of water then
depress the low speed for 5 seconds. This will
remove any food on the blade and blending shaft and
allow you to continue onto the next processing task.
Blades are extremely sharp, handle with care.
Motor body
Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
releasing the Power and Speed buttons. Remove the
motor body from the stainless steel blending shaft.
To remove any food residue from the motor body,
wipe with a damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or steel wool. Never immerse the motor
body in water or any other liquid.
Smoothie attachment
Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
releasing the Power and Speed buttons. Remove the
smoothie attachment from the motor body.
The smoothie attachment should be hand washed in
hot soapy water, rinsed and dried thoroughly after
each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
Storage
Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
releasing the Power and Speed buttons. Ensure the
appliance is clean and completely dry.
For safety reasons, it is recommended to store the
motor body and smoothie attachment on the charging
base, and keep the blending shaft in a convenient
cupboard or drawer.
Cordless Hand Blender (smoothie attachment)
To detach the smoothie attachment
Ensure the Cordless Hand Blender is switched off by
keeping hands clear of the Power button and Speed
button. Unscrew the smoothie attachment from the
motor body in a clockwise direction (See Fig. 1).
To attach the smoothie attachment
Hold the shaft with aerating blades down, and align
the top end of the smoothie attachment with the
corresponding end of the motor body. Screw the shaft
into the motor body in an anti-clockwise direction.
To use the smoothie attachment
Ensure the smoothie attachment 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 smoothie attachment 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).
3. Work through the ingredients in the mixing jug
with a gentle raising and lowering motion.
4. Switch off the Cordless Hand Blender 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.
