Read the instructions and keep them safe. Pass them on if you pass
the blender on. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the
blender works.
AIMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 The blender must only be used by or under the direct
supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store the blender out
of reach of children.
2 Don’t put the handle in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom,
near a source of water, or outdoors.
3 The wand blade is sharp and it rotates at high speed, 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) don’t leave the blender unattended while plugged in
4 When blending liquids, don’t let the blade break the surface,
you’ll spray liquid outside the container.
5 Don’t use the wand in hot oil – even moderately hot oil can cause
a nasty burn.
6 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over
or caught.
7 Keep the blender and cable away from sources of heat.
8 Don’t fit accessories unless we supply them.
9 Don’t use the blender for any purpose other than those
described in these instructions.
10 Don’t stand the blender on its end, it’s not stable.
11 Don’t use the blender if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
12 If the cable is damaged, return the blender, to avoid hazard.

CTHE WAND
1 The wand can do most things a jug blender can do, but faster,
and with less washing up.
2 Don’t try to chip ice, and don’t try to chop raw meat.
3 Make milkshakes, smoothies, or fruit drinks in a beaker.
4 Blend ingredients in the pan you’re going to cook them in.
5 Sit the pan/bowl on a stable, flat surface, and support it with your
free hand, to prevent it moving.
6 Keep the top of the wand at least 1cm above any liquid being
blended.
11 Don’t run the motor for more than 1 minute at a time, then leave
it for 1 minute to cool before using it again.
CFITTING/REMOVING THE WAND
7 Unplug the handle before fitting or removing the wand.
8 To fit the wand to the handle, align one of the arrows uon the
wand with the open padlock Uon the handle, insert the handle
into the top of the wand, then turn the wand clockwise to align
the uon the wand with the closed padlock Lon the handle. It’s
a bayonet-type fitting.
9 To remove the wand, turn it anti-clockwise, then pull it off the
handle.
CTHE SPEED BUTTONS
10 Press one of the speed buttons to run the blender, release it to
stop.
1low speed – light applications, using mainly liquid ingredients
2high speed – heavier applications, using mainly solid
ingredients
CAVOID SPRAY/SPLASHING
11 To avoid spraying or splashing outside the container:
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

5
CHOT LIQUIDS
12 Take great care when working with hot liquids:
a) best of all, don’t – there’s rarely any need to blend hot liquids
b) blend before you heat – the wand is powerful enough to cope
with most vegetables
c) blend while the liquid cools – you’re not going to serve it
boiling, are you?
d) if you’ve no option, don’t let the blade break the surface
e) don’t use the wand in 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.
CCARE AND MAINTENANCE
1 Clean the blender after each use.
2 Switch the blender off, and unplug it.
3 Don’t touch the blades, use a washing-up brush.
4 Wipe the handle surfaces with a soft damp cloth.
5 Don’t put the handle in water or any other liquid.
6 Clean the blade end of the wand in hot soapy water, with a nylon
brush.
7 Don’t put any part of the blender in a dishwasher.
8 Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
