BLENDING TIPS
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Blending: Insert the Hand 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
Hand Blender before removing it from
the jar to avoid splashing.
Drawing up: Rest the Hand 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 Hand 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 Hand 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 Hand
Blender up slightly and let it fall again
into the ingredients. Allow your wrist
motion and the weight of the Hand
Blender to do the work.

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