order to avoid scalds from steam, it may be advisable to angle the mixer
slightly so that your hand is not directly above the steam.

Instructions For Use
Before first use, we recommend that you wipe the main unit with a clean,
damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Dry it thoroughly with a soft
absorbent cloth. Carefully clean the beaters in warm soapy water.
N.B. Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard implements or a scourer.
A. Charging the Hand Mixer
The batteries in your hand mixer have not been fully charged. Before using,
the batteries must be charged until all three blue lights are illuminated.
With a full charge, your hand mixer will run continuously for approximately
20 minutes, depending on the recipe. Your hand mixer will be fully charged
in approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes.
N.B. To charge the main unit, insert the Micro USB end of charging lead
into the charging port at the back of the main unit. Plug the USB end
directly into the adapter plug and then into a mains supply outlet.
Battery Life Indicator Lights
The indicator lights will flash blue when the battery is being charged. When
all three lights are illuminated, this means the battery is fully charged and
is then ready to use. As the battery starts to run down, the indicator lights
will turn off. The battery will need to be recharged when the last indicator
light is flashing. If the battery has completely run down on the unit, it will
not operate.
N.B. The Hand Mixer cannot be used while it is plugged in and charging.

E. Hints & Tips
•When beating egg whites, use a very clean metal or glass bowl. To help
stabilize the egg whites, add 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar per egg
white, prior to beating them. Beat the egg whites until desired peaks
form.
•Beating egg whites for too long causes them to dry out and become less
stable.
•When adding sugar to beaten egg whites, add it slowly, when soft peaks
just begin to form and then continue beating to form desired peaks.
•When beating heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a chilled
bowl and chill the beaters. The best shaped bowl for whipping cream is
one that is deep with a rounded bottom to minimize any splatter.
•The cream should come out of the fridge just before whipping. Whipped
cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks depending on preference.
It may be flavoured as desired. For best results, whip cream just before
using.
•Caution: Do not immerse the product in water or any other liquid, only
the beater attachments can be submerged.
Cleaning &Maintenance
The appliance should always been cleaned thoroughly after each use.
Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
To clean the main unit, wipe with a clean, damp cloth. The beaters can
be removed and washed by hand in warm soapy water or on the top rack
of a dishwasher. Never immerse the power adapter in water or any other
liquids.
