IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

6
Models KHB1231 & KHB2351:
Volts: 120 V.A.C.
Hertz: 60 Hz
NOTE: Models KHB1231 & KHB2351 have
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug will t in an outlet only one
way. If the plug does not t in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a long extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The cord should be arranged so it will
not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled by
children or tripped over unintentionally.

up from the bottom, return the Hand
Blender to the bottom of the jar and repeat
the process until the ingredients are at the

Operating Tips
Care and Cleaning
Storage Bag
• 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 overow, 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
nutmegs. Processing these foods could
damage the blades of the Hand Blender.
• Do not use the jar or the chopper bowl
in the microwave oven.
• The stainless steel whisk may scratch
or mar non-stick coatings; avoid using the
whisk in non-stick cookware.
• To prevent splattering, use the whisk
attachment in deep containers or pans.
1. Unplug Hand Blender before cleaning.
