To Use the Hand Blender

Ensure the blender is completely and correctly assembled as detailed prior.

1. Place food to be processed into the blending jug provided (or a sufficiently large mixing bowl or saucepan). The quantity inside the blending jug should not exceed the maximum (MAX) level specified on the blending jug.

2. Insert the plug into a 230V or

240V power outlet and turn the power on.

3. Using the Variable Speed Control

Dial located on top of the motor body, turn the dial to a low speed setting and then, if required, adjust to a higher speed setting depending on what the recipe specifies.

4. Place the blending shaft as deeply as possible into the blending jug and press and hold the ‘ON’ button. The button must be kept pressed for the duration of operation. If an extra burst of power is required when blending, press the ‘TURBO’ speed button.

5. With one hand work through the ingredients in the jug with a gentle raising and lowering motion of the

Stick Mixer, whilst with the other hand hold onto the blending jug for increased control.

6. Once processing is complete, switch OFF the motor by releasing the ‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’ speed button, switch off at the power outlet and remove the power plug from the outlet.

7. To avoid splashing, when lifting the Stick Mixer out of the blending jug ensure the motor has completely stopped and the blades have stopped rotating.

Always ensure the motor has completely stopped before lifting the blender out of the jug.

8

NOTE: The Stick Mixer has a

Variable Speed Control Dial that adjusts speed from low to high depending on the processing task. Turn dial from a low speed of 1 up to a high speed as required (See Fig.1). Pressing the ‘TURBO’ button however will override the Variable Speed and operate at maximum speed.

Fig. 1

NOTE: When the ‘ON’ button

is pressed, the Stick Mixer will operate at the speed selected by the Variable Speed Control

Dial. When using the ‘TURBO’ button, the Stick Mixer will always operate at a maximum speed.

The ‘TURBO’ button can be used at any time.

NOTE: The Stick Mixer motor will

only operate while the ‘ON’ or

‘TURBO’ speed button remains pressed – this is a safety feature.

To Detach the Stainless Steel

Blending Shaft

1. Once processing is complete, switch OFF the motor by releasing the ‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’ speed button, switch off at the power outlet and remove the power plug from the outlet.

2. Holding the motor body with one hand whilst holding the upper plastic part of the blending shaft with the other hand, press the

‘Release’ buttons found at the drive end of the motor to eject the blending shaft from the motor body.

Recommendations when

Using the Stick Mixer as a

Hand Blender

• The Stick Mixer blends foods and liquids rapidly, therefore it is easy to over-process. Remember when using the blending shaft to stop the

Stick Mixer and check foodstuffs throughout the operation.

• The stainless steel blending shaft on the Stick Mixer allows for hot food to be processed directly in the saucepan. This makes blending soups and sauces very easy. For safety reasons, move the saucepan away from the heat before processing.

• Ensure the body of the Stick Mixer and power cord are kept away from any heat source.

• When pureeing and blending, cut food into uniform sizes. This will ensure smooth and consistent results.

• Warm all liquids to be added to soups and purees, this will ensure even blending.

• To reduce spills, do not exceed the maximum (MAX) level specified on the blending jug.

• Place the jug on a level surface during blending. This will keep the jug stable.

• DO NOT process hard foodstuffs such as coffee, cereals or chocolate in lumps as these may result in damage to the blades.

Dislodging Food From The

Blending Blade

If foodstuffs become lodged around the processing blade or in the blade guard, follow the safety instructions outlined below:

1. Release the ‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’ speed button, switch the power off at the power outlet and unplug the power plug from the outlet.

2. Use a spatula to carefully dislodge the food. DO NOT use fingers as the blades are sharp.

3. After the food has been removed and blades are clear, plug the

Stick Mixer back into the power supply, switch the power on and continue blending.

Fig. 3

NOTE: Always place the

chopper blade on its pivot pin on the bottom of the bowl

BEFORE placing any foodstuffs in the bowl. Do not lift the blade before the chopping operation has finished.

Fig. 2

2. Place the foodstuffs to be processed inside the chopper bowl. Do not exceed the maximum (MAX) marking.

NOTE: Always place the blade in

the chopper bowl before adding the food to be chopped.

3. Ensure that the chopper bowl lid is dry, with no water left inside. Place the lid onto the chopper bowl and turn the lid in a clockwise direction until an audible “click” sound is heard that indicates the lid is secure.

4. Align the lock buttons at the drive end of the motor body with the grooves at the top of the chopper bowl lid. Push down to lock into place until an audible “click” can be heard to show it is secure

(See Fig.3).

10

To Use the Chopper bowl

‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’ speed button is released, power is turned off at the power outlet and the power plug is removed from the outlet before detaching.

1. Once processing is complete, release the ‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’ speed button, switch the power off at the power outlet and unplug the power plug from the outlet.

2. Holding the motor body with one hand and the chopper bowl lid that is attached to the chopper bowl in the other hand, press the

‘Release’ buttons found at the drive end of the motor to eject the motor body from the chopper bowl lid. Pull the motor body away from the chopper bowl lid to detach.

3. To remove the chopper lid from the chopper bowl, turn the chopper lid in an anti-clockwise direction.

Recommendations when

Using the Stick Mixer with the Chopper bowl

• Do not operate your Stick Mixer when the chopper bowl is empty.

Ensure chopper blade is in place before adding foodstuffs into the chopper bowl.

• It is recommended during processing to hold the motor body with one hand and the chopper bowl and lid with the other.

• When processing, cut food into uniform sizes to ensure quicker, even and more consistent results.

• For effective processing, press the

‘ON’ button or the ‘TURBO’ speed button a few times in succession; this will create a rapid pulse action.

• DO NOT process hard foods such as coffee, cereals or chocolate in lumps as these may result in damage to the blades.

• DO NOT process boiling or hot foods in the chopper bowl.

• NEVER remove the blade from the bowl before food processing is completed.

• The Stick Mixer blends foods and liquids rapidly, therefore it is easy to over process. Remember to check food throughout the operation to ensure perfect results are achieved.
