the blending attachment
Using the blending attachment
For the most consistent results, food should be processed in small quantities and be cut
into 1 inch cubes before blending.
1. Squeeze and hold the two buttons on the side of the motor together.
2. Line up the two dots (one on each side) of the blending shaft with the buttons.
Release the two buttons. Ensure that the motor unit and the blending attachment are
correctly assembled and securely locked in position.
3. Insert the blending attachment into the food.
4. Press the ON or TURBO (high speed) button.
When pureeing food, it is important to use enough liquid (juice, milk, cream, broth, etc) to
create a smooth mixture.
• Adjust the consistency of the mixture by adding more liquids or soft solids.
• Don’t use the blending attachment to process meat or cheese.
• The blending attachment can be used directly in a pan though we do not recommend
that you do this in a non-stick pan to avoid damaging the pan.
Do not operate the unit continuously for more than 60 seconds without giving it
a rest period of one minute

the chopping attachment
Ensure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the supply socket
if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
The chopping blades have very sharp edges. Take care when handling or cleaning
them.
Never place the chopping blade assembly on the motor body by itself.
Do not operate the chopping attachment continuously for more than 30 seconds
(20 seconds on hard food) without giving it a rest period of one minute. The
chopping attachment is not suitable for processing hot food.
Position the chopping bowl on a dry at surface close to the mains supply socket.
1. Lower the chopping blade into the chopping bowl.
2. Add the ingredients to the chopping bowl.
3. Fit the chopping bowl lid to the chopping bowl.
4. Twist the lid to lock it to the chopping bowl. Ensure that the lid is correctly assembled
and securely locked in position.
5. Squeeze and hold the two buttons on the side of the motor together.
6. Line up the two dots (one on each side) on the chopping bowl lid and push the motor
unit and bowl lid together. Release the two buttons. Ensure that they are correctly
assembled and securely locked in position.
Quick Food Chopper Ideas
• Breadcrumbs: For quick and easy breadcrumbs add a couple of pieces of bread,
preferably a couple of days old (but not stale), in your chopping attachment and chop
until ne.
• Sweet Biscuit Base: Add digestive biscuits, broken into halves with a little softened
butter. Mix until chopped and combined.
• Nuts: For desserts or nut roasts, add the nuts and pulse in quick bursts until crushed.
• Garlic, Herbs and Chill: Use your chopping attachment to chop ingredients for
marinades, dressings and sauces.
• Crushing ice: Place 10 or so ice cubes into the chopping bowl and add 150ml of
water. Pulse your blender until the cubes are crushed. For best results, let the ice
cubes defrost slightly for a few minutes before processing.

1. Put the vegetables in a large saucepan with the garlic, rosemary, Italian herbs,
stock and sugar. Season with salt and pepper and stir. Cover and cook gently for 25
minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
2. Add the tomatoes to the pan and then using your hand blender carefully puree until
smooth. Keep the blade part of the blending shaft immersed in the soup to avoid
splashing. To avoid damage to the pan, we do not recommend that you blend soup in
a non-stick pan.
3. Once it is smooth, add the chickpeas and heat through, stirring occasionally and
seasoning to taste.
4. Serve warm with toasted French bread and melted cheese.

½ tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon of tomato puree
100g of coriander leaves

Chicken Tikka Marinade
1. Add all the ingredients to the hand blender beaker, excluding the chicken. Use your
hand blender to puree the paste until it is smooth.
2. Cut the chicken breast into chunks and then place it in a bowl. Pour the paste onto
the chicken and stir so that it is evenly coated.
3. Leave it covered, preferably overnight and then cook the chicken either under a hot
grill, on a barbeque or in your favourite curry sauce.
