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 4...8
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 overheating.
How to operate your whisk
Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating 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 whisk, 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 a
time.
• Only whip up to 4 egg whites at one time.
• Move the whisk clockwise when mixing
ingredients.
