TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS | 15

BLENDING TIPS
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Blending: Insert Immersion Blender with
blending arm attached into the blending
jar containing ingredients at an angle.
Use your free hand to cover the top of
the blending jar for better stability and
avoid splattering. Remember to stop the
Immersion Blender before removing it
from the jar to avoid splashing.
Drawing up: Rest the Immersion Blender
on the bottom of the blending jar
momentarily then hold at an angle and
slowly draw it upwards against the side
of the jar. As the Immersion Blender is
drawn up, you will notice the ingredients
from the bottom of the jar being drawn
up. When the ingredients are no longer
being drawn up from the bottom, return
the Immersion Blender to the bottom
of the jar and repeat the process until
the ingredients are at the desired
consistency.
Wrist movement: Using a light circular
motion from your wrist, draw the
Immersion Blender up slightly and let
it fall again into the ingredients. Allow
your wrist motion and the weight of the
Immersion Blender to do the work.

16 | TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
• Cut solid foods into small pieces for
easier blending or chopping.
• The Immersion Blender is equipped with
thermal protection from high operating
temperatures. Should the Immersion
Blender suddenly stop during use,
unplug it and allow 10 minutes to
automatically reset.
• To avoid splashing, insert the Immersion
Blender into the mixture before
pressing the power button, and release
the power button before pulling the
Immersion Blender out of the mixture.
• When blending in a saucepan on
a cooktop, remove the pan from
the heating element to protect the
Immersion Blender from overheating.
• For best blending, hold the Immersion
Blender at an angle and gently move up
and down within the container. Do not
pound down on the mixture with the
Immersion Blender.
• To prevent overow, allow room in the
container for the mixture to rise when
using the Immersion Blender.
• Be sure the extra-long cord of the
Immersion Blender is not extending
over a hot heating element.
• Do not let the Immersion Blender sit in a
hot pan on the cooktop while not in use.
• Remove hard items, such as fruit pits
or bones, from the mixture before
blending or chopping to help prevent
damage to the blades.
• Do not use your Immersion Blender to
process coffee beans or hard spices
such as nutmeg. Processing these
foods could damage the blades of the
Immersion Blender.
• Do not use the jar in the microwave
oven.
