Helpful Hints.
1. Cut most solid foods into 1/2" cubes for easy blending. Suggestion: use
Chopper Grinder for chopping and grinding solid foods.
2. Pour liquid ingredients into the mixing container first unless recipe
instructs otherwise.
3. To avoid splashing, do not pull the Hand Blender out of the mixture while
it is running.
4. Do not let Hand Blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
5. To prevent splashing, don’t turn the Hand Blender on until the blade is
beneath the surface of the mixture.
6. Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending
mixture as these are liable to damage the blades.
7. Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when
blending and can overflow.
8. Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with
liquids.
9. For recipes calling for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for best
results.

Tips:
1. Immediately after blending, rinse the entire shaft before mixtures dry. This
will make the unit easier to clean.
2. Clean by running under faucet, or putting in top shelf of dishwasher.
Making the Shaft Shorter.
1. Rotate the Shaft Adjustment Ring to the left (counterclockwise) to loosen
the shaft. This will be about a one quarter turn. Do not overturn.
2. Retract the shaft to the desired length by pushing on the lower end of the
shaft. Do not grab the blender blade.
3. When the shaft is totally retracted, rotate the Shaft Adjustment Ring to
the right to tighten the shaft. Do not over tighten or you may damage the
threads on the shaft.
HAND BLENDER OPERATION
