if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
The blending shaft blades have very sharp edges. Take care when handling or

2. Line up the two cut outs (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. You can t the beaker cover/non-slip foot over the bottom of the beaker to provide a
non-slip base during processing. After processing, it can be removed from the base
and tted over the top of the beaker to store ingredients before use.
4. Insert the blending attachment into the food.
5. Press the ON button. You can adjust the speed of your hand blender using the

When pureeing food, it is important to use enough liquid (juice, milk, cream, broth, etc.) to
create a smooth mixture.

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, Onions, Herbs and Chilli: Use your chopping attachment to chop
ingredients for marinades, dressings and sauces. Use it to chop onions—tear free!
• Ice: Place 10 or so ice cubes into the chopping bowl with 150ml of water and pulse
until crushed. For best results, let the ice cubes defrost slightly for a few minutes.
