allows you to turn on the appliance and control the
speed with one hand.
ActiveBlade Shaft (A)
The hand blender is equipped with an ActiveBlade
shaft, which enables the knife extend to the bottom
of the bell. The adjustment is made automatically
by pressure required in blending tasks, especially
suited to mix hard foods e.g raw fruits and
vegetables.
It is also perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces,
salad dressings, soups, baby food, as well as
drinks, smoothies and milkshakes.
For best results, use the highest speed.
Assembly and Operation

until it clicks.
• Place the ActiveBlade shaft into the mixture to be
blended. Then switch the appliance on as
described above.
• Blend ingredients to the desired consistency
using a gentle up-and-down motion. Depending
on the pressure applied, the ActiveBlade shaft will
depress and blade will extend.
• After use, unplug the hand blender and press the
EasyClick Plus release buttons (3) to detach the
ActiveBlade shaft.
Caution
• Do not let liquids or ingredients overlap the green
line of the ActiveBlade shaft.
• 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 scratch the ActiveBlade shaft over the
bottom of pans and pots.
• Do not operate continuously for longer than 1
minute.
• Let the appliance cool down for 3 minutes before
you continue processing.
