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 2...4
 
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.
