General Safety Instructions
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type
of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for future
reference, along with any warranty information, your purchase receipt and the carton.
If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance.
Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when
using an electrical appliance, including the following:
Electrical safety and cord handling
• Voltage: Make sure that your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to
the voltage stated on the appliance rating label before connecting the appliance
to a readily accessible electrical wall outlet.
• Protect from moisture: Do not place the appliance near a sink or basin so that
the appliance, the mains plug and the power cord cannot accidentally come into
contact with water. If the appliance, mains plug or cord falls into water, turn off the
power immediately. Do not reach into the water!
• WARNING! Do not immerse: To reduce the risk of electrocution, never operate
this product with wet hands. Never immerse the product, the mains plug and/or the
power cord in water or other liquid.
• Power cord: Do not kink, bend, squash or damage the power cord and protect it
from sharp edges and heat. Do not let it hang over the edge of a table or benchtop,
or touch hot surfaces. Do not put any stress on the power cord where it connects
to the product, as the power cord could fray and break.
• No extension cord: Do not use an extension cord. Insert the plug directly into
an electrical outlet. But if you must use one, make sure it has the same technical
specifications as the one of the appliance.
• Cord handling: Unwind the power cord completely for use. Run the cord in such a
way that there will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it.
• Damage: Do not pick up or operate the appliance if the power supply cord, plug or
housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Switch off and unplug the stick mixer from the outlet when it is not in use and
before attaching/detaching or cleaning the mixing shaft. Grip the plug when
disconnecting, do not pull the cord.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30 mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
• Winding the cord: If winding the power cord, avoid tight bends as this could
damage the cord.

Getting Started
Before first use
• This product has been packaged to protect it against transportation damage.
Unpack the appliance and keep the original packaging carton and materials
in a safe place. It will help prevent any damage if the product needs to be
transported in the future, and you can use it to store the appliance when it is
not in use. In the event that the packaging is to be disposed of, please recycle it
where possible.
• Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and young children, so
ensure all packaging materials are out of their reach and disposed of safely.
• Inspect all parts of the appliance for visual damage. Unwind the power cord
to its full length and inspect the cord and plug for damage. Do not use the
appliance if the appliance or its cord have been damaged or are not working
properly. In case of damage, contact our after sales support centre for advice.
• Make sure you have read and understood all instructions and warnings in this
manual. Refer to the Product Overview, page 7, to familiarise yourself with the
product and identify all parts. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions
on the previous pages.
• To remove dust from transport and storage, wash the blending shaft and other
attachments and accessories (excluding the motor unit) in warm, soapy water.
Dry thoroughly, taking care not to cut yourself on the sharp blade. Wipe the
motor unit with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
WARNING: Never wash the stick mixer motor unit under water or immerse it in
water or other liquid.
TIPS
• To ensure smooth and consistent results, cut food into uniform sizes.
• When pureeing food, it is important to use enough liquid (water, juice, milk,
cream, broth, etc.) to create a smooth mixture. Add more liquids or soft
solids to adjust the consistency of the mixture.
• The appliance is not suitable for chopping extremely hard foods, such as ice
cubes, nutmeg, coffee beans or whole grains.
SHORT OPERATION TIME
Do not use the stick mixer continuously for more than 1 minute at a time. Let
the appliance cool down for at least 1 minute before continuing.

Instructions
This STIRLING 800 W stick mixer is a versatile piece of kitchen equipment with a
number of uses. The many attachments and accessories enable it to prepare dips,
sauces, soups and baby food, as well as for blending milkshakes, smoothies and
other drinks. This device can also be used to chop herbs or onions, or create spice
pastes.
Using the hand blender
The hand blender is suitable for the preparation of dips, sauces, soups,
mayonnaise, baby food and much more.
• To assemble the stick mixer, hold the motor unit by the handle and then attach
the blender attachment by inserting it into the base of the motor unit (Fig. 1).
Gently press it in place until you hear a "click" noise, which will indicate the two
are properly attached.
• When using this appliance, it is recommended that you start on the lowest
speed setting (1) and then slowly turning the dial clockwise, until it reaches the
desired speed (max. 12).
• Place the bending shaft blender into the 600 mL measuring cup (or a similar
vessel), before pressing and holding the power button.
• Once you have sufficiently blended your ingredients (using the TURBO button
for extra speed if necessary), unplug the appliance and press the eject buttons
on either side of the shaft to remove the blender stick.
• Do not tilt in the device in the container; keep the appliance as vertical as
possible while blending.

Cleaning and maintenance
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning. Only clean the motor unit with a dry or
slightly damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in water.
• When washing up, take care with the sharp blades. Use a mild dish detergent
and a soft sponge or dish brush.
• Do not use harsh, sharp or abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads.
• All other parts (aside from the motor unit) may be washed in a dishwasher.
However, after processing very salty food, the blades should be rinsed right
away. In addition, be careful not to use too much cleaner or decalcifier in your
dishwasher.
• When processing food with color, the plastic parts of the appliance may
become stained. Wipe these parts with vegetable oil before placing them in
the dishwasher or washing them by hand.
Storage
Store the clean and dry appliance in the original carton, which will protect it from
dust. Store it in a clean and dry place, unplugged from the power supply and out
of children's reach. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance during storage.
Service
The unit has no user-serviceable parts contained within. Do not attempt to repair,
disassemble or modify the appliance. Trying to repair the appliance yourself,
undertaking incorrect repairs or making any modifications to the appliance or the
power cord will expose you to considerable danger and will void your warranty.
Contact our after sales support centre.
CAUTION!
• Make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply before
cleaning the blending shaft or motor unit.
• Never immerse the motor unit in water!
