2. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not put motor end of
appliance in water or other liquids.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely
supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To disconnect, turn unit off, grasp plug, and pull from wall. Never
yank on cord.
5. Avoid contacting moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Return the appliance to an authorized service
facility for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter
or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.

15. Never leave appliance unattended while it is plugged into
an outlet.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazard
resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord.
2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If it is necessary
to use an extension cord, it should be positioned so that it does
not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
3. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be the same or
more than the wattage of the appliance (the wattage is shown
on the rating label located on the underside or back of the
appliance).
4. Avoid pulling or straining the power cord at outlet or appliance
connections.

POLARIZED PLUG
1. Your appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other).
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way.
3. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
does not fit, please consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
WARNING: Improper use of the power cord may result in electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not operate appliance if the line cord is damaged
or if the appliance works intermittently or stops working entirely.
Before Your First Use

wipe the main body and chopper gear box with a clean, damp cloth.To remove
any dust that may have accumulated on the removable parts during packaging,
wash the blender shaft, whisk, blending beaker, chopper bowl, and cutting blade
with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp,handle carefully.
WARNING: Do not immerse the motor housing, chopper gear box, cord or plug
in water or any other liquids. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasive cleansers
on any part of the hand blender.

Using Your Hand Blender
The hand blender blends, mixes and chops fast
and easily. Use it to blend soups, mayonnaise,
purées, dietary and baby food, mixed drinks or
cocktails.
1. To attach the blender shaft, rotate in a
counter-clockwise direction to lock the
blender shaft to the motor housing.
2. Plug the hand blender into a 120 volt
60 Hz AC-only outlet.
Your hand blender comes complete with a
handy blending beaker, but can be operated as
efficiently in a bowl, saucepan or other container.
When using directly in a saucepan while cooking,
remove the pan from the stove first to avoid
overheating the blender unit.
WARNING: Always insert the blending blade into your mixing container
first before pressing the speed control switch.
3. Simply press the desired speed switch to operate
NOTE: Always switch off the hand blender before taking it out of the food.
WARNING: To reduce risk of personal injury and/or damage to your hand
blender:
• Always inspect attachments before each use.
• Do not use cracked, bent or damaged attachments.
CAUTION: Do not use the hand blender for more than 1 minute
consecutively. After 1 minute of use, allow the hand blender to rest for a
few minutes before continuing to blend.

Hot Blending Instructions
To prevent scalding when mixing or blending hot ingredients, the following
precautions must be observed:
• Use a tall container less than half full or blend small quantities at one time.
• Insert blade end of the hand blender into the container until it is touching
the bottom before starting on low speed.
• Take care not to lift the blender shaft out of the hot ingredients while
operating the hand blender.
• To use the hand blender in a hot saucepan, be sure to remove the pan from
the stove as the hand blender is not designed for use over a heat source.
• To purée hot foods, a certain amount of liquid is always needed.Add
cooking liquid, broth, juice, milk or cream, until the desired consistency is
reached.
• To avoid scalding, do not stand directly over a container of hot ingredients
while operating the hand blender.
Helpful Blending Hints
• For thorough blending, move blade up and down in mixture until smooth.
• To achieve best blending results use deep, tall containers.
• For easy clean-up, unplug hand blender and rinse blending shaft under
running water immediately after using.
CAUTION: Hand blender is not designed for crushing ice, mixing cookie
dough, bread dough or mashed potatoes.

When the motor housing is not in use, unplug the motor housing from the
wall outlet.
CAUTION: Before cleaning, be sure the hand blender has been unplugged
from the outlet.To make cleaning easier, rinse parts immediately after
blending.The motor housing may be wiped with a damp cloth and dried
thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the chopper gear box or the motor housing in
water or any other liquids. Be careful when handling the sharp blades.
The detachable blender shaft, whisk and beaker may be hand washed in warm,
soapy water. Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing.
NOTE: Some foods and spices will cause minor discolouration to your blender
shaft and chopper bowl.

such as carrots or red cabbage, try rubbing the stains with some vegetable oil
or lemon juice.
