Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be

1

Plug in the charger.

2

Push the lid release button to open the lid.

3

Slide the battery into the charger, aligning the flat side of the battery to the flat side of the port, and push down to click into place.

4

The LED indicator will begin to flash slowly and continuously as it charges.

When the battery is fully charged, the

LED will display a continuous light.

NoTE: If the charger quickly flashes three times after inserting the battery, there is a battery error. Check that the battery is placed properly in the charger. If the light continues to flash rapidly, the battery may be extremely cold, hot, wet or damaged. Allow the battery to cool down, warm up or dry out, then reinsert. If the problem persists, see the “Service and Warranty” section.

5

Charge the battery after each use, when the battery indicator lights show less than 25% battery life remaining (only one light displays on the LED battery life indicator), or when the battery is completely drained.

NoTE: Batteries do not develop a

“memory” when charged after only a partial discharge. It is not necessary to run down the battery before placing it on the charger.

Techniques for better blending and crushing

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be

Drawing up

Wrist movement

TIPS For grEaT rESUlTS

For better blending: Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of the container momentarily, then hold at an angle and using a light circular motion, slowly draw it upwards against the side of the container. Allow your wrist motion and the weight of the Hand Blender to do the work. As you draw up the Hand Blender, you will notice the ingredients from the bottom of the container rising up. When the ingredients are no longer rising from the bottom, return the Hand Blender to the bottom of the container and repeat until mixture is at the desired consistency.

TIP: To prevent overflow, allow room in the container for the mixture to rise when blending.

For better crushing: Insert Hand Blender with blending arm attached into the container. For hard, frozen fruits or ice, add a small amount of liquid to where the

S-blade is submerged. Remember to stop the Hand Blender before removing it from the container to avoid splashing.

operating tips

• Cut solid foods into small pieces for easier blending or chopping.

• The Hand Blender is equipped with thermal protection from high operating temperatures. Should the Hand Blender suddenly stop during use, press the

UNLOCK button once, then press the PULSE button. If the unit does not operate, but shows information on the battery indicator bar, allow 10 minutes to automatically reset. If the unit does not display information on the battery indicator bar, charge the battery. If the battery is already fully charged, and the unit fails to operate, contact KitchenAid.

• To avoid splashing, insert the Hand

Blender into the mixture before pressing the power button, and release the power button before pulling the

Hand Blender out of the mixture.

• When blending in a saucepan on a cooktop, remove the pan from the heating element to protect the Hand Blender from overheating.

operating tips (continued)

• For best blending, hold the Hand Blender at an angle and gently move up and down within the container. Do not pound down on the mixture with the Hand Blender.

• To prevent overflow, allow room in the container for the mixture to rise when using the Hand Blender.

• Do not let the Hand Blender sit in a hot pan on the cooktop while not in use.

• Remove hard items, such as fruit pits or bones, from the mixture before blending or chopping to help prevent damage to the blades.

Downloaded from www.vandenborre.be

• Do not use your Hand Blender to process coffee beans or hard spices such as nutmegs. Processing these foods could damage the blades of the Hand Blender.

• Do not use the pitcher or the chopper bowl in the microwave oven.

• The stainless steel whisk may scratch or mark non-stick coatings; avoid using the whisk in non-stick cookware.

• To prevent splattering, use the whisk attachment in deep containers or pans.
