F Hints & Tips
ßLiquid should come within 2.5cm of where the shaft attaches to the motor housing.
ßWhen using with a non-stick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch the non-stick coating with the
hand blender.
ßDo not immerse motor housing in water or any other liquid.
ßCut most solid foods into 2.5cm (1inch) cubes for easy blending.
ßPour liquid ingredients into the measuring jug rst, unless recipe instructs otherwise.
ßTo avoid splashing, do not turn the hand blender on until the blade is beneath the surface of the mixture
and do not pull the hand blender out of the mixture while appliance is running.
ßDo not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
ßDo not put fruit stones,bones or other hard material into the blending mixture,as these will damage the blades.
ßDo not overll the measuring jug. The level of mixture will rise when blending and can overow.
ßAdding liquids that are warm, not cold, speeds up blending solids with liquids.
ßFor recipes requesting ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for best results.
ßUsing a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and incorporate ingredients uniformly.
ßTo whip air into a mixture, always hold the whisk just under the surface.
ßTo make a soup creamy in texture, use the hand blender to purée the soup solids to the desired
consistency using a gentle up-and-down motion in the saucepan. You can quickly change your soup into a
thick and creamy blend.
ßThe hand blender is also suitable for frothing milk for a cappuccino or latte.
ßUse the hand blender to smooth gravies and sauces.
ßFor best results when adding celery to a recipe, use a vegetable peeler to remove tough outer strings
from the celery before blending.
ßUse the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites. It may also be used for whisking eggs
for scambled eggs or uffy omelettes.
ßWhen beating egg whites use a very clean metal or glass bowl, never plastic.
ßWhen beating heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a chilled bowl and chill the whisk
attachment. The most suitable bowl for whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom.
The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping.
ßUse the beaters for mixes such as cakes, biscuit mix, custard and mayonnaise.
ßThe hand blender should not be used to prepare dough.

1
Cleaning & Maintenance
Always clean the hand blender motor housing and blender shaft thoroughly after each use.
ßUnplug the appliance.
ßRemove the blending attachment from the motor housing. Clean the motor housing with a sponge or
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners which could scratch the surface. Never immerse the motor
housing in water or any other liquid.
ßTo clean the blending attachment and measuring jug, wash by hand in hot water using mild detergent.
Handle blending attachment with care. Sharp blades may cause injury.
ßTo clean your whisk and beater attachments simply remove the adaptor from the motor housing, detach
the whisk or beater (which ever you have used) from the adaptor by pulling in a downward motion.
To clean the attachments, wash with warm, soapy water or place in the dishwasher.
ßTo clean lid, wipe with clean damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid.
ßTo clean adapter, wipe with clean damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid.
