know the blender works.
important 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.

household use only
the 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.
fitting/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.

avoid 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
caution – hot 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.
