Before first use: charging the battery

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

Drawing up

Wrist movement

2 Use the arrow buttons to adjust the speed, using the LED display as a guide.

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 until the

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

operating tips

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

• 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, see the “Service and Warranty” section.

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

Hand Blender from overheating.

• Cut solid foods into small pieces for easier blending.

• Do not use Hand Blender to process coffee beans or hard spices such as nutmeg. Processing these foods may damage the blades.
