Important safety
instructions
The use of any electrical appliance
requires the following of basic common
sense safety rules.
Primarily there is danger of injury or
death and secondly the danger of damage
to the appliance. These are indicated in the
text by the following two conventions:
WARNING: Danger to the person!
IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition we offer the following essential
safety advice.
Location
• Do not use outdoors.
Mains lead
• The mains lead should reach without
straining the connections.
• Do not let the mains lead hang over the
edge of a worktop where a child could
reach it.
• Do not let the lead run across an open
space e.g. between a low socket and
table.
• Do not let the lead run across a cooker or
toaster or other hot area which might
damage the cable.
Your safety
• Unplug from outlet before cleaning or
removing parts.
• Do not touch moving parts. Keep hands,
hair, clothing as well as utensils away
from the hand blender blades.
• Don’t let rotating blades touch the mains
cable.
• TAKE CARE WHEN HANDLING METAL
BLADES AS THEY ARE VERY SHARP.
• Don’t clean the blades under running
water while they are in position.
• Make sure the blender is switched off
before connecting to or disconnecting
from the mains supply.
• Do not use during cooking processes or
with boiling liquids.
Children
• Do not allow children to use this blender.
Children are vulnerable in the kitchen
particularly when unsupervised and if
appliances are being used or cooking is
being carried out.
• Teach children to be aware of dangers in
the kitchen, warn them of the dangers of
reaching up to areas where they cannot
see properly or should not be reaching.
Other safety
considerations
• To protect against fire, electric shock and
personal injury do not immerse cord,
plug or blender in water or other liquid.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner.
• Do not use accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer as
there is the danger of fire, electric shock
or personal injury.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner or in a heated oven.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use.
Electrical
requirements
Check that the voltage on the rating plate
of your appliance corresponds with your
house electricity supply which must be A.C.
(Alternating Current).
If the socket outlets in your home are not
suitable for the plug supplied with this
appliance, the plug should be removed and
the appropriate one fitted.
WARNING: The plug removed from the
mains lead, if severed, must be destroyed as
a plug with bared flexible cord is hazardous
if engaged into a live socket outlet.
Should the fuse in the 13 amp plug
require changing, a 3 amp BS1362 fuse
must be fitted.
This appliance does not need to be
earthed. It is a double insulated product.

Blender recipes
Banana milk shakes
1 ripened banana
1 portion of good vanilla icecream
1 teaspoon of sugar
200ml cold milk
Skin the banana, dice and put it into the
beaker. Add the icecream, sugar and milk.
Mix until all the ingredients are blended and
frothy. This recipe can be adjusted to your taste by
varying the fruit and flavour of the icecream used.
Serves 1-2
Crepes
100g plain flour
25g castor sugar
2 eggs
275ml milk
25g sunflower oil
5 tablespoons Cointreau
Mix the flour and sugar in a bowl. Break eggs
into a second bowl, add the milk and use the hand
blender to mix them together. Gradually add the
sugar and flour from the first bowl to make a
smooth batter. The consistency should be similar
to single cream.
Brush a 19cm (71/4) inch) omelette pan lightly
with sunflower oil. Place over a moderate heat until
hot enough for frying: a drop of batter should cook
almost immediately. Pour in just enough batter to
cover the base, tilting the pan to spread evenly.
Cook until the underside of the crepe is golden.
Toss or turn and cook the other side. Repeat using
the remaining batter to make about 12 crepes.
When all your crepes are ready, fold each into
quarters and place in an ovenproof dish. Heat
Cointreau in a small saucepan over a moderate
heat until it begins to steam. Ignite the Cointreau
and pour over the crepes. Serve immediately.
