Thank you for choosing the Dualit
hand blender. We hope it will open
a world of new possibilities for you
– with no extra washing up!

Blended soups, purées, mashed or
crushed vegetables, dips and pâtés
can easily be prepared. Milk can be
frothed & eggs beaten in moments.

The hand blender is used in the
saucepan or bowl in which you are
already cooking or working, and the
whole appliance is small enough to
keep in a drawer. It rules out the
need to unearth a large blender
from a distant cupboard, wash up all
the bits and then put it all away
again, just to make a quick dish.

Another great benefit of the blender
being hand held is that it gives you
control over how smooth or chunky
you want a mixture to be.

• To protect against risk of electrical
shock, keep the blender body out
of water or other liquids

• The blade is very sharp, so
supervision is necessary if the
hand blender is being used near
children, or by anyone with a
disability that might make the
hand blender difficult to use

• Never leave the appliance
plugged in and unattended,
specially if children are around,
TThhiiss iiss aa aatttteennddeedd aapppplliiaannccee

• Unplug the hand blender from
the power outlet when not in
use,before attaching or removing
parts and before any cleaning
is carried out

The following section will explain how
to get the most out of your hand
blender. Please read this section
carefully.

• Wash the blade before using for
the first time (see cleaning and
maintenance instructions)

• Insert the blending stick (2) in the
blender body’s (1) lower part,
then turn the stick anti-clockwise.

Ensure the metal blender stick
is securely twisted into the blender
body

• Treat the blade with respect – it
is very sharp!

• For best results, roughly chop
ingredients before blending e.g.
tomatoes, onions, garlic, leafy
herbs etc

• Place your ingredients into a bowl
that is tall enough to avoid
splashing

For maximum control and
professional blending results, two
power controls are featured on the
Dualit hand blender:

•

VVaarriiaabbllee ssppeeeedd bbuuttttoonn
Ranging from 9000rpm
to 17000rpm you can
finely set the required
speed using the speed
selection wheel (3).

The speed can be
altered while button
(4) is pressed and the blade still
rotating

•

TTuurrbboo bbuuttttoonn

– Use to achieve
maximum speed of 17000rpm.
Use short powerful pulses, ideal
for fast blending of tough
mixtures

As a general rule, the higher the
speed the faster the blending. Liquids
are better blended at lower speeds as
this reduces splashing.

GETTING STARTED

USING YOUR HAND BLENDER

SPEED & TURBO BUTTONS

Use the variable speed control wheel
(3) for combining mixtures together
or for starting to mix ingredients,
then switch to the turbo power
setting (5) to beat well or to froth.

Rotate the speed control wheel (3)
on the top of the handle to change
the speed of the blade, as required.

The speed can be finely tuned with
each graduation on the wheel
increasing the speed from 9000rpm
to 17000rpm.

We recommend to start blending
using a slower speed and to increase
the speed setting as you blend your
mixture.

• Dip the blending stick (2) deep
into the bowl but not above the
’Max’ mark on the shaft

• Set the speed (3), then switch
on the unit by pressing the
power button (4) on the front

• Hold the bowl or jug steady
during use, stand it on a damp
cloth. Use a medium sized bowl
for whizzing even small amounts
to prevent splattering

• Work through the ingredients
with a gentle up and down
movement of the blender

• When blending is complete,
release the power button
(4) then unplug from the mains

• Wash the parts as described in
“Cleaning and Care” Section

• Drain and dry the blending stick
by resting it upside down with
the blade side facing up.

Before using for the first time, as well
as after every use, wash the appliance
as follows:

• Blender Body (1): Wipe exterior
surface with a moist cloth or
sponge and dry thoroughly

• Blending stick (2): Detach from
the blender body (1) by holding
the main body firmly and
twisting the blending stick (2)
clockwise. Reverse process to
reattach the blending stick

Wash the Blending stick under
running water, or in a dishwasher.
Drain excess water from inside
the stick by resting upside down
with the blade side facing upward

A cleaning brush may help you
when washing the blade (7).
A quick and easy way to clean the
blade is to dip the stick in a jug of
water, add a few drops of
washing up liquid and whizz.
Rinse clean under the tap.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

We recommend washing the
blending stick (2) immediately
after every use

NNOOTTEE:: OOnnllyy tthhee bblleennddiinngg ssttiicckk iiss

ssuuiittaabbllee ffoorr ddiisshhwwaasshheerrss..

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning
agents or solvents. Never immerse
blender body in water or any other
liquid. Always unplug the hand
blender before cleaning.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN:: DDoo nnoott ttoouucchh tthhee bbllaaddee..
If treated with care, your hand

blender will last for years.

For storage of the appliance, place the
hand blender in its box in a cool, dry
place and away from the reach of
children.

Ensure the unit is thoroughly cleaned
before storing. Bacteria can build up
quickly if not cleaned and food
particles are left on the unit.
