children.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in

pliance.

Setting the speed
When activating the on/off switch , the
processing speed corresponds to the setting
of the variable speed regulator
. The higher
the setting, the faster the chopping results.
However, maximum processing speed can
only be achieved by pressing the turbo
switch
. You may also use the turbo switch
for instant powerful pulses without having to
adjust the variable speed regulator.
Depending on the application, we
recommend the following speed settings:
Handblender 1...turbo
Chopper 1...turbo
Whisk 3...9
How to operate your handblender
The handblender is perfectly suited for
preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise
and baby food as well as for mixing drinks
and milk shakes.
1. Insert the motor part
into the blender
shaft until it locks into place.
2. Position the handblender deep in the
container being used to prepare your food
or drink, then press the on/off switch
or
the on/off turbo switch to begin.
3. To release the blender shaft after use,
press the release knobs and pull it off.
You can operate the handblender in the
measuring beaker or in any other container.
When blending directly in the saucepan while
cooking, remove the pan from the burner
first to protect your handblender from over-
heating.
How to operate your whisk
Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beat-
ing egg whites and mixing instant puddings.
1. Insert the whisk into the whisk gear
box , then insert the motor part into
the gear box until it locks into place.
2. Place the whisk in a bowl before pressing
the on/off switch to turn on the whisk.
3. To release the wisk, press the release
knobs and pull off the gear box. Then
pull the whisk out of the gear box.
For best results:
• Use a wide container.
• Only whip up to 400 ml (14 oz) chilled
cream at one time.
• Only whip up to 4 egg whites at one time.
• Move the whisk clockwise when mixing
ingredients.
