How to Use the Appliance

Blending Shaft

The hand blender is perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, salad dressings, soups, baby food, as well as drinks, smoothies and milkshakes. For best results, use the Turbo speed.

Assembly and Operation

• Place the motor part (3) on the blender shaft (5) and turn the twist lock (4) counter-clockwise until it audibly clicks into place.
• Place the blending shaft into the mixture to be blended. Then switch the appliance on.

• If using the appliance to purée hot food in a saucepan or pot, remove the saucepan or pot from the heat source and ensure the liquid is not boiling. Allow hot food to cool slightly to avoid risk of scalding.
• Do not let the hand blender sit in a hot pan on the cooktop when not in use.
• Do not operate continuously for longer than 1 minute.
• Let the appliance cool down for 3 minutes before you continue processing.

Recipe Example: Mayonnaise
250 g oil (e.g. sunflower oil)
1 egg and 1 extra egg yolk
1–2 tbsp. Vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

• Place all ingredients (at room temperature) into the beaker in the order as above.
• Place the hand blender at the bottom of the beaker. Blend at maximum speed until the oil starts emulsifying.
• With the hand blender still running, slowly raise the shaft to the top of the mixture and back down to incorporate the rest of the oil.

NOTE: Processing time: approx. 1 minute for salads and up to 2 minutes for a thicker mayonnaise (e.g. for dip).

Whisk Accessory

Tips for Best Results
