IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons,
including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully when removing, inserting or
cleaning. Exercise the same care when removing, inserting the
chopping blade or disc for the food processor and chopper
accessories. Always verify that the accessory enclosure is free of
cracks or other damages.

2. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instructions
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

3. Remove any packaging materials and promotional labels before using the
appliance for the first time.

4. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet.
Never pull cord.

5. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the motor part, cord or
electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other liquids. Only the
detachable blending shaft and other certain parts of this appliance have
been designed for immersion into water or other liquids. Never submerge
any other part of this unit. If hand blender falls into liquid, unplug first, then
remove immediately. Do not reach into the liquid without unplugging the
unit first.

6. The use of attachments/accessories not sold or recommended by Braun
may cause fire, electrical shock or risk of injuries to persons.

7. Regularly inspect the power cord, power plug and actual appliance for
any damage. Do not operate if damaged in any way or after the appliance
malfunctions. Immediately cease use of the appliance and call Braun
Customer Service for examination, repair or adjustment.

8. Avoid any contact with blades or moveable parts.

9. Do not use outdoors or for anything other than its intended purpose.

10. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while blending to prevent the
possibility of severe injury to persons or damage to the unit. A scraper
may be used, but must be used only when the unit is not running.

2

11. Detach blending shaft from the motor part before washing the blades or
shaft.

12. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make
small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering and possibility
of injury from burning.

13. The metal blending shaft and whisk may scratch or mark non-stick
coatings. Do not use in non-stick cookware.

14. Check work bowl for presence of foreign objects before using.

15. Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Do not
let cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.

16. Maximum rating is based on the MQ 20 chopper «hc» that draws the
greatest power and other recommended attachments may draw
significantly less power.

17. The «hc» chopper is intended for processing small quantities of food for
immediate consumption, and is especially recommended for preparing
baby food. The appliance is not intended to prepare large quantites of
food at one time.

18. Double-blade knife is sharp. Handle carefully. Use extreme care when
removing or replacing knife blade.

19. Bowl must be in place before replacing knife blades.

20. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall
cabinet.

21. We suggest you save all packing materials in the event that future
shipping of the machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags away from
children.

22. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not modify the plug in any way.

How to Use the Appliance

the blending shaft.

Caution

• 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.

easier chopping.

• Remove any bones, tendons and
gristle from meat to help prevent
damage to the blades.

• Make sure the anti-slip rubber ring
(7d) is attached to the bottom of the

Assembly and Operation

• Carefully remove the plastic cover from

• The blade (7b) is very sharp! Always
hold it by the upper plastic part and
handle carefully.

• Place the blade on the center pin of
the chopper bowl (7c). Press it down
and give it a turn so that it locks into
place.

• Fill the chopper with food and put on

thoroughly after use.

• Unplug hand blender before cleaning.

• Do not immerse the motor part (3) in

water or any other liquid. Clean with a
damp cloth only.

• All other parts can be cleaned in a
