Using the blending attachment
The unit should not be operated continuously for more than one minute, without
allowing a rest period of one minute.
After attaching the blending shaft, place the food into the measuring beaker or other
suitable container. 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.
For the most consistent results, food should be processed in small quantities and be cut
into 1 inch cubes before blending.
1. Insert the blender into a container. Plug the motor unit into a suitable mains supply
and switch on.

speed button when processing tougher ingredients and for blending items such as
cream. Maximum processing speed is achieved by pressing the High speed button.

The hand blender will operate until the button is released.
Hints
When pureeing food, it is important to use enough liquid (juice, milk or cream, broth, etc)
to have a smooth mixture.
Adjust the consistency of the mixture by adding more liquids or soft solids.
Do not use the blending shaft to process meat or cheese.
