Read the instructions and keep them safe. Pass them on if you pass on the hand
blender. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the hand blender works.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This hand blender must only be used by a responsible adult. Use and store the hand
blender out of reach of children.
2 Don’t put the handle in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or
outdoors.
3 The blade is sharp and it rotates at high speed.
4 So, to avoid serious injury:
a) don’t switch on till the blade is inside the food container
b) switch off before lifting the blade from the food container
c) don’t touch the blade – even when cleaning
d) don’t plug in till just before use
e) unplug immediately after use
f) unplug before cleaning
g) don’t leave the blender unattended while plugged in
h) use and store the hand blender out of reach of children.
5 Don’t use the wand in hot oil – even moderately hot oil can cause a nasty burn.
6 When using the wand in hot liquids, don’t let the blade break the surface
at an angle, as you might spray liquid outside the bowl/pan/container.
7 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
8 Keep the hand blender and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
9 Don’t fit any attachment or accessory other than those we supply.
10 Don’t use the hand blender for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
11 Don’t run the motor for more than one minute at a time, then leave it for a minute to
cool down before using it again.
12 Don’t stand the blender on end, it’s unstable – lay it on the work surface.
13 Don’t wrap the cable around the blender.
14 Don’t operate the hand blender if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
15 If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent,
or someone similarly qualified, in order to avoid hazard.
household use only
fitting/removing the wand
1 Unplug the hand blender before fitting or removing the wand.
2 Push the wand on to the end of the handle, then turn the wand slightly to the left.
3 To remove the wand, press the 5button on the rear of the handle, and pull the
wand away from the handle.
the wand
4 Generally, the wand can do anything a normal blender can do, but faster, and with
less washing up – make mayonnaise, milkshakes, smoothies, or fruit drinks in the
beaker. You can blend, pulp or purée ingredients in the pan or bowl you’re going to
cook them in.

4
5 Whatever container you use, make sure it’s on a stable, flat surface, and support it
with your free hand, to prevent it wandering over the work surface.
6 Don’t immerse the wand past the top of the parallel-sided tube.
7 Don’t try to chip ice, don’t try to chop raw meat, and take great care with the
blades.
8 Don’t run the motor for more than one minute at a time, then leave it for a
minute to cool down before using it again.
avoiding spray/splashing
a) hold the wand straight
b) don’t switch on till it’s well inside the food container
c) switch off before lifting it out of the container
d) with liquids, switch on and off with the blade under the surface
hot liquids
9 The wand will withstand temperatures near boiling point. When using it in hot
liquids, don’t let the blade break the surface at an angle, as you might
spray liquid outside the bowl/pan/container.
10 Don’t use the wand in hot oil – not even moderately hot oil. While you
may be able to stand fairly hot water, oil at the same temperature will cause painful
burns. Water can be thrown off immediately and the skin will rapidly cool, but oil
will stick to the skin and blister it.
the beaker
11 Don’t fill above the 1000ml mark on the beaker, to prevent the contents escaping.
12 Sit it on a stable, flat work surface, and support it with your free hand.
13 Don’t lift it off the work surface and hold it in your hand – if it slips, you’ll hurt
yourself.
care and maintenance
14 Clean the hand blender after each use.
15 Switch the hand blender off, and unplug it.
16 Take great care with the blade – don’t handle it directly, use a washing-up brush.
17 Wipe the handle surfaces with a soft damp cloth.
18 Don’t put the handle in water or any other liquid.
19 You may wash the beaker and its non-slip base in warm soapy water.
20 Don’t put any part of the hand blender in a dishwasher.
21 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

BS1363 plug. To replace the plug, fit the blue wire to N, and the brown
wire to L. Fit the cord grip. If in doubt, call an electrician.
Don’t use a non-rewireable/moulded plug unless the fuse cover is in
place. If you remove the plug, dispose of it.
