the blending attachment
Fitting the blending attachment
1. Line up the symbol on the motor unit with the symbol on the blending
attachment and push them together.
2. Twist the attachment until the symbol lines up with the symbol. Ensure that the
motor unit and the blending attachment are correctly assembled and securely locked
in position.
3. Remove the blade safety cover.
Using the blending attachment
Do not operate your hand blender continuously for more than one minute,
without giving it a rest period of one minute.
For the most consistent results, food should be processed in small quantities and be cut
into 1 inch cubes before blending.
• Place the food in the mixing beaker or other suitable bowl. You can also use it directly
in a saucepan though care should be taken with non-stick coatings.
• Insert your blender into the bowl.
• Holding your blender rmly, press and hold the safety lock ( ) button. Press the on
button to start your blender. Once your blender has started, you can release pressure
on the safety lock ( ) button. Guide your blender through the food, moving it slowly
up, down and from side to side. Your hand blender will operate until the on button is
released.
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.
Overload protection
Your blender has a built-in overload protection feature to protect the motor and batteries.
If your blender’s blades become jammed during processing, the overload protection will
operate switching off the power to your blender. Your blender will not work until it has
been reset as follows:
1. Remove the blending attachment.
2. Place your blender into the charging base and recharge it for a few seconds. This will
reset the overload protection (note that this will not fully recharge your blender—see
page 6 if your blender requires charging).
3. Ret the blending attachment and continue using as normal.
