Stick Mixer continued
To Attach the Stainless Steel
Blending Shaft
Hold the shaft with the blades down,
and the indicator symbol on the
top end of the blending shaft with the
corresponding indicator symbol on
the end of the motor body. Screw the
motor body in a clockwise direction
until the indicator symbol on the
motor body is aligned with the
indicator symbol on the blending
shaft (See Fig 1).
Always ensure the blending shaft
is dry, and no water is left inside,
before reattaching.
Fig. 1
To Use the Hand Blender
Ensure the blender is completely
and properly assembled as detailed
above.
1. Place food to be processed into
the jug provided (or a sufficiently
large mixing bowl or saucepan).
The jug provided should be only ½
full or less when blending liquids or
when making a puree of fruit and/
or vegetables (See Fig 2).
2. For food preparation tips and
recipes refer to page 14 and the
recipe section.
Fig. 2
3. Insert the plug into a
230V or 240V power outlet
and turn the power on.
4. By turning the Variable Speed
Control dial on top of the motor
body, select a speed between
MIN and 5.
5. Place the blending shaft as
deeply as possible into the jug,
press and hold the ‘VARIABLE’
button to turn the blender on. The
button must be kept depressed
for the required duration of
operation.
6. If extra turbo power is required
when blending, press the ‘BOOST’
button.
7. Work through the ingredients in
the jug with a gentle raising and
lowering motion.
8. Switch off the motor by releasing
the ‘VARIABLE’ or ‘BOOST’ button.
9. Ensure the motor has completely
stopped before lifting the blender
out of the jug.
10. When processing has finished,
switch off at the power outlet and
remove the power plug.

NOTE: When pressing and
holding the ‘VARIABLE’ button
the blender will operate at the
speed selected by the Variable
Speed Control. When using the
‘BOOST’ button the blender will
always operate at maximum
speed operation. The ‘BOOST’
button can be used at any time.
To Detach the Stainless Steel
Blending Shaft
Ensure the Stick Mixer is turned off,
the power is switched off at the
power outlet and the appliance is
unplugged.
Hold the motor body with one hand,
(Fig 3) whilst holding the blending
shaft in the other hand and turn
the blending shaft in a clockwise
direction. Pull the motor body away
from the blending shaft to detach.
Fig. 3
NOTE: The Stick Mixer has a
Variable Speed Control. To
decrease speed turn the dial
anti-clockwise and to increase
speed turn the dial clockwise
(See Fig 4).
The Stick Mixer motor will only
operate while the ‘VARIABLE’ or
‘BOOST’ button remain depressed –
this is a safety feature.

Recommendations when
Using the Stick Mixer as a
Hand Blender
• The Stick Mixer blends foods and
liquids rapidly, therefore it is easy
to over-process. Remember when
using the blending shaft, to stop
the Stick Mixer and check food
throughout the operation.
• The stainless steel blending
shaft on the Stick Mixer allows
for hot food to be processed
directly in the saucepan. This
makes blending soups and
sauces very easy.
• For safety reasons move the
saucepan away from the heat
before processing.
• Ensure the body of the appliance
and power cord are kept away
from any heat source.
• When pureeing and blending,
cut food into uniform sizes.
This will ensure smooth and
consistent results.
• Warm all liquids to be added to
soups and purees, this will ensure
even blending.
