OPERATING THE HAND BLENDER
PARTS AND FEATURES
Before rst use: charging the battery
1Plug in the charger.
3Slide the battery into the charger,
aligning the flat side of the battery to the
flat side of the port, and push down to
click into place.
4The LED indicator will begin to flash
slowly and continuously as it charges.
When the battery is fully charged, the
LED will display a continuous light.
NOTE: If the charger quickly flashes three
times after inserting the battery, there is a
battery error. Check that the battery is placed
properly in the charger. If the light continues
to flash rapidly, the battery may be extremely
cold, hot, wet or damaged. Allow the battery
to cool down, warm up or dry out, then
reinsert. If the problem persists, see the
“Service and Warranty” section.
5Charge the battery after each use, when
the battery indicator lights show less
than 25% battery life remaining (only
one light displays on the LED battery
life indicator), or when the battery is
completely drained.
2Push the lid release button to open
the lid.
NOTE: Batteries do not develop a “memory”
when charged after only a partial discharge. It
is not necessary to run down the battery
before placing it on the charger.

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Drawing up Wrist
movement
Techniques for better blending and crushing
For better blending: Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of the container momentarily, then
hold at an angle and using a light circular motion, slowly draw it upwards against the side of the
container. Allow your wrist motion and the weight of the Hand Blender to do the work. As you
draw up the Hand Blender, you will notice the ingredients from the bottom of the container rising
up. When the ingredients are no longer rising from the bottom, return the Hand Blender to the
bottom of the container and repeat until mixture is at the desired consistency.
For better crushing: Insert Hand Blender
with blending arm attached into the
container. For hard, frozen fruits or ice,
add a small amount of liquid until the
S-blade is submerged. Remember to stop
the Hand Blender before removing it from
the container to avoid splashing.
TIP: To prevent overow, allow room
in the container for the mixture to rise
when blending.
Operating tips
• Do not let the Hand Blender sit in a hot
pan on the cooktop when not in use.
• The Hand Blender is equipped with
thermal protection from high operating
temperatures. Should the Hand Blender
suddenly stop during use, press the
UNLOCK button once, then press
the PULSE button. If the unit does not
operate, but shows information on the
battery indicator bar, allow 10 minutes
to automatically reset. If the unit does
not display information on the battery
indicator bar, charge the battery. If the
battery is already fully charged, and the
unit fails to operate, see the “Service
and Warranty” section.
• When blending in a saucepan on
a cooktop, remove the pan from
the heating element to protect the
Hand Blender from overheating.
• Cut solid foods into small pieces
for easier blending.
• Do not use Hand Blender to process
coffee beans or hard spices such as
nutmeg. Processing these foods may
damage the blades.
