Blending Guide

Tips

• For thorough blending, move blade up and down in mixture until smooth.

• You will achieve better mixing results if you use deep, tall containers.

• For easy cleanup, unplug blender and rinse under running water immediately after using.

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash blade portion of hand blender according to instructions.

blade through the food; up, down and sideways.

4. Do not immerse blender past the MAX line.
