3. Incorrect operation and improper use can damage the appliance and cause injury
to the user.

6. Close supervision is required when any appliance is used near or by children or
invalids.

FITTING/REMOVING THE ATTACHMENTS
Make sure that the unit is unplugged from the electrical outlet before
removing/fitting the attachments.
Insert the blending leg onto the motor body and turn it clock-wise until it locks into
place.
To remove, turn the blending leg anti-clockwise and safely remove it from the
motor body.
SELECTING THE SPEED
Turn the speed control to the speed you want (min-max)
Generally, large quantities, thick mixes, and a high ratio of solids to liquids
suggest longer timings and slower speeds.
Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids suggest shorter
timings and higher speeds.

THE BLENDING LEG
Generally, the blending leg 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 are going to cook them in.
Whatever container you use, make sure it is on a stable, flat surface, and support
it with your free hand, to prevent it wandering over the work surface.
Do not immerse the blending leg past the top of the parallel-sided tube.
When using it in hot liquids, do not let the blade break the surface at an angle, as
you might spray liquid outside the bowl/pan/container.
Do not switch on until the blade is inside the food container.
Switch off before lifting the blade from the food container.
THE BEAKER
Do not fill the beaker more than about half full.
Sit it on a stable, flat work surface, and support it with your free hand.
Do not lift it off the work surface and hold it in your hand –if it slips, you will hurt
yourself.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Use extreme care when handling the blade at the bottom of the blending leg. Do
not touch the blade with your fingers. The blade is very sharp and can cause injury.
Make sure the unit is unplugged from the main power supply.
Disconnect the blending leg from the motor body.
It is much easier to clean the accessories directly after their use.
Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry well.
The beaker must be washed with luke warm water.
The motor body of the stick blender can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and must
immediately be buffed with a dry cloth.
The blending arm and blade can be washed in warm soapy water or can be
washed in a dishwasher.
To remove stubborn spots wipe the surface with a piece of cloth slightly
dampened in soapy water.

7
Follow with a clean damp cloth.
When processing foods with colour (e.g. carrots), the parts of the appliance may
become discoloured. Wipe these parts with vegetable oil before washing them.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning material to clean any part of the stick blender,
as it will harm the exterior.
CAUTION: The stick blender motor should never be submerged in water or held
under running tap water. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth and dry
thoroughly.
STORING THE APPLIANCE
Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and clean all the parts as instructed in
this manual. Ensure that all parts are dry before storing.
Store the unit on its storage base, in its box or in a clean, dry place.
