IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using this electrical appliance, safety precautions
should always be observed, including the following:

■ Read all of the instructions.

■ Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the work

space or touch any hot surfaces.

■ Place the unit securely in the center of the counter or

work space.

■ Close adult supervision must be provided when this

appliance is used by or near children.

■ Avoid any contact with moving parts. Fingers, hair,

clothing, etc., as well as other utensils, should be kept
away from blades during operation.

■ Using attachments not recommended or sold by

Keystone Manufacturing Co., Inc. may cause hazards.

■ Do not operate with a damaged cord. Return the

unit to a repair center or have it repaired by a licensed
electrician.

■ Always unplug before cleaning and removing parts.

■ For indoor use only.

■ Do not place near hot gas or electric burner.

■ Do not use the unit without closing the lid.

■ Do not continuously operate the unit for more than 60

1

seconds.

■ Do not operate appliance over a stove or any other

heat source.

■ Do not clean with metal scrubbing pads. Pieces can

break off the pad and short-circuit electrical parts,
creating a possibility of an electrical shock.

■ To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse

plug, cord or motor base in water or any other liquid.

■ Do not use an extension cord with this unit. However,

if one is used, it must have a rating equal to or exceed­ing the rating of this appliance.

■ This unit is for household use only.

■ This unit should not be used for other than the intended

use.

■ The Hand Blender has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way, as a safety feature. Reverse the
plug if the plug does not fit fully in the outlet. Contact
a qualified electrician if it still does not fit. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.

■ Blades are sharp, handle carefully.

■ When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall

container and make several small batches to avoid
spillage.

Before First Use

1. Remove the Hand Blender from the package and remove
all packing materials. Read all instructions carefully.

2. Wash the blade portion of the hand blender according to
instructions.

HOW TO OPERATE THE
DENI HAND BLENDER™

1. Position the provided measuring/mixing jug or a contain­er of comparable size that holds the food to be mixed on
a flat surface.

2. Pour the ingredients to be blended in the measuring
jug provided or into a container of comparable width
and depth and avoid over-filling. For best results for non­liquid items, evenly distribute the contents using a palette
knife.

3. Place the blender in the measuring jug and position it
directly on the food to be blended. Hold the container
steady with your other hand.

3

4. Press the on/off switch to the ON position.

IMPORTANT Do not let the machine operate continu­ously for more than 60 seconds.

It is advisable to press the on/off switch for a few sec­onds only and repeat this operation in intervals. This
makes it possible to continually check the consistency
of the food. After each use of 60 continuous seconds,
the unit must cool down for 3 minutes.

5. Move the blade slowly through the food. Be sure to
move it up, down and sideways to ensure thorough
mixing. When contents to be blended are at the
desired consistency, turn the blender to the OFF posi­tion and unplug. Remove it from the measuring/mix­ing jug.

6. If some of the food remains on the blades of the
blender, use a palette knife to delicately remove it from
the blade. NEVER use your fingers to remove the food,
to avoid injury from the sharp blades.

7. Wait until the blades in the blender have completely
stopped rotating before attempting to remove food or
to clean the unit.

8. Unplug blender and rinse under running water imme­diately after using for easy cleanup.

NOTE: Always unplug from outlet when not in use.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

■ Read all of the instructions.

■ If you are using the hand blender in a sauce pan, be

sure to remove the sauce pan from the stove or other
heat source before applying the blender to the food to
be mixed. This appliance is not to be used over a stove
or any other heat source.

■ If you are pureeing food, slowly add liquid, a little at a

time, until desired consistency is reached.

■ Do not use this appliance to chop ice, as it can damage

the blades. Add any ice to the mixture after the blending
process is completed.

■ Do not use this unit to beat egg whites.

HOW TO CLEAN

■ Unplug the hand blender from the outlet.

■ Rinse the blade under warm running water by holding

the unit by the motor section. DO NOT TOUCH THE
BLADE. DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR SECTION IN
THE RUNNING WATER.

■ Motor section may be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

■ If food particles are not rinsed off under the running

water, place a drop of dish detergent in the measuring
jug and fill half way with water. Plug cord back into
outlet. Immerse the hand blender in the water and
operate the unit for about 10 seconds. Unplug, and
rinse again under running water to remove excess
detergent.

■ Never wash any parts in a dishwasher.
