Assembly/disassembly
Before assembling or disassembling the
appliance, make sure that it is unplugged. To
assemble the handblender, insert the shaft with
the blade
5
into the motor part
1
until it locks (d).
You can remove the shaft with the blade from the
motor part, by pressing the two buttons
4
and
pulling the shaft off (d). Before switching the
appliance on, make sure that all parts are properly
assembled.
How to operate
your handblender
Use it to make sauces, soups, mayonnaise,
dietary and baby food, mixed drinks or cocktails
and to whip eggwhite, cream and skimmed milk. It
comes complete with a practical mixing/measuring beaker
8
, but you can operate the Braun
handblender just as well in any bowl, pan or other
container too. Should you want to blend directly in
the saucepan while cooking, take the pan from
the stove first, to protect your Braun handblender
from overheating. To avoid splashing, insert the
handblender into the vessel first, and then press
the switch
2
(c) for operation. To turn your
handblender off, simply release the switch. Only
then, take the handblender out of the vessel.
Whisk
Notice: Use the whisk
F
only for whipping cream
and eggwhite; not for other applications (e. g.
sponges).
Attaching: Insert the whisk
F
into the gear
6
until
it locks. Then connect gear with the motor part by
locking.
Removing: First pull the whisk
F
from the gear
6
and then release the gear by pressing the buttons
4
on the motor part.
For best results, use a wider vessel and move the
handblender clockwise in circles. Cream should
be cooled to refrigerator temperature before being
whipped.

• Before removing the processed food, first take
out the blade insert from the chopper bowl. You
may have to turn the blade insert slightly,
because for safety reasons, the blade insert
cannot be removed from the chopper bowl in
every position.
Food preparation and chopping
• Do not chop ice cubes or extremely hard food,
such as nutmeg, coffee beans, chocolate and
grains.
• When chopping meat ensure that all bones,
tendons and gristle are removed.
• Besides meat, the chopper can also be used,
e. g. for cheese (without rind), onions, parsley,
dried fruits, tomatoes, carrots, apples, nuts etc.
• When chopping cooked food allow it to cool off
for a few minutes before putting it into the
chopper bowl.
• The double function base/lid also serves as an
air-tight cover for the chopper bowl.
