WARNING: Do not

immerse the Stick Mixer
motor, power cord, or
plug in water or any other
liquid.

Stick Mixer Attachments

WARNING: All processing
blades are extremely
sharp. Handle with care
and only lift from the
shaft.

To Attach the Stainless Steel
Blending Shaft to the Stick
Mixer Motor

Align the lock buttons on the drive
end of the Stick Mixer motor with
the grooves found at the top of the
four blade blending shaft. Push down
to lock into place until an audible
“click” sound is heard to indicate
that it is secure.

Using the Hand Blender

Ensure the blender is correctly and
securely assembled as detailed prior.

1. Place food to be processed into
a sufficiently large mixing bowl or
saucepan (not provided).

2. Insert the power plug into a 230V
or 240V power outlet and turn
the power on.

3. Using the Variable Speed
Control Dial located on top of the
Stick Mixer motor (See Fig. 1), turn
the dial to a low speed setting
and then, if required, adjust to a
higher speed setting depending
on what the recipe specifies.

4. Place the blending shaft as
deeply as possible into the
saucepan and press and hold
the ‘ON’ button. The button must
be kept pressed for the duration
of operation. If an extra burst of
power is required when blending,
press the ‘TURBO’ speed button
instead of the 'ON' button.

5. With one hand work through the
ingredients in the saucepan with
a gentle raising and lowering
motion of the Stick Mixer, whilst
with the other hand hold onto
the saucepan handle for
increased control.

6. Once processing is complete,
switch OFF the motor by releasing
the ‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’ speed
button, switch off at the power
outlet and remove the power
plug from the outlet.

7. To avoid splashing when lifting the
Stick Mixer out of the saucepan,
ensure the motor has completely
stopped and the blades have
stopped rotating.

NOTE: The Stick Mixer has a
Variable Speed Control Dial that
adjusts speed from low to high
depending on the processing
task. Turn dial from a low speed of
1 up to a higher speed if required
(See Fig. 1). Pressing the ‘TURBO’
button however will override the
Variable Speed and operate at
maximum speed.

WARNING: DO NOT

process hard foodstuffs
such as ice, coffee
beans, cereals or
chocolate in lumps
as these may result in
damage to the blades.

NOTE: The Stick Mixer motor will
only operate while the ‘ON’ or
‘TURBO’ speed button remains
pressed - this is a safety feature.

To Detach the Stainless Steel
Blending Shaft

1. Once blending is complete,
switch OFF the motor by releasing
the ‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’ speed
button, switch off at the power
outlet and remove the power
plug from the outlet.

Recommendations when Using
the Stick Mixer as a Hand Blender

•The Stick Mixer blends foods
and liquids rapidly, therefore it is
easy to over-process. Remember
when using the blending shaft,
to stop the Stick Mixer and
check foodstuffs throughout the
operation.

•The stainless steel blending shaft
on the Stick Mixer allows for hot
food to be processed directly in
the saucepan. This makes blending
soups and sauces very easy. For
safety reasons, move the saucepan
away from the heat before
processing.

•Ensure the body of the Stick Mixer
and power cord are kept away
from any heat source.

•When pureeing and blending,
cut food into uniform sizes. This
will ensure smooth and consistent
results.

•Warm all liquids to be added to
soups and purees, this will ensure
even blending.

•DO NOT process hard foodstuffs
such as ice, coffee beans, cereals
or chocolate in lumps as these may
result in damage to the blades.

Dislodge Food from the Blending
Blade

If foodstuffs become lodged around
the four tip blade or in the blade
guard surrounding the blade, follow
the safety instructions outlined below:

1. Release the ‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’

speed button, switch the power
off at the power outlet and
unplug the power plug from
the outlet.

12

2. Use a spatula to carefully dislodge
the food. DO NOT use fingers as
the blades are sharp.

3. After the food has been removed
and blades are clear, plug the
Stick Mixer back into the power
supply, switch the power on and
continue blending.

To Attach the Masher Attachment
to the Stick Mixer Motor

1. To assemble the masher
attachment, align the (

) symbol
on the masher attachment
connector with the (

) symbol
found on the masher attachment.
Turn the masher attachment anti­clockwise so that the (

) symbol

2. Align the lock buttons on the drive
end of the Stick Mixer motor with
the grooves at the top of the
masher attachment connector
after the connector has been
connected to the masher
attachment. Push down to lock
into place until an audible “click”
sound is heard to indicate that it is
secure (See Fig. 3).

Fig. 3

NOTE: Ensure the masher

attachment is dry and that
there is no water inside before
attaching to avoid any water
getting in the Stick Mixer motor.

Using the Stick Mixer as
a Masher

1. Place cooked foodstuffs to be
mashed into a saucepan.

2. Insert the plug into a 230V or 240V
power outlet and then turn the
power on at the power outlet.

3. Insert the mashing attachment
deeply into a saucepan and
press and hold the ‘ON’ or
'TURBO' button to turn the masher
on. Choose a Variable Speed
as per the recipe guideline or
alternatively, press and hold the
'TURBO' speed button to select
the maximum speed.

4. To efficiently mash the foodstuffs,
use a gentle raising and
lowering motion.

5. Switch OFF the motor by releasing
the ‘ON’ button and then lift
the Stick Mixer out of the
saucepan. To avoid splattering,
allow the blades to stop rotating
before lifting the masher out of
the saucepan.

6. The Stick Mixer will only
operate while either the ‘ON’ or
‘TURBO’ speed control button
is continuously pressed - this is a
safety feature.

To Remove the Masher
Attachment

1. Once mashing is complete,
release the ‘ON’ or ‘TURBO’
speed button, switch the power
off at the power outlet and

Recommendations when using
the Stick Mixer with the Masher
Attachment

•The Stick Mixer is powerful

and processes quickly. It is
recommended that in order to
avoid ‘over mashing’ potatoes,
stop the Stick Mixer and
check the consistency of the
foodstuffs regularly.

•The masher attachment allows for

foodstuffs to be mashed directly in
the saucepan. For safety reasons,
always remove the saucepan from
the heat and allow to cool to room
temperature before mashing.

•When mashing, ensure the
potatoes are cut into uniform
sizes and fully cooked to ensure
even and consistent results.

•Ensure the body of the Stick Mixer
and power cord are kept away
from any heat source.

NOTE: The masher attachment
should only be used for mashing
tasks; do not use it to blend.

Cubic Attachment

To assemble the Cubic Attachment
into the Food Processor Bowl

WARNING: The cube
cutter blade and disc
are extremely sharp and
should only be handled
by the plastic parts.

The cubic attachment is used to dice
fruits and raw or cooked vegetables,
such as carrots, pumpkin and onions.

1. To use the cubic attachment, the

cube cutter blade and blade
disc must first be assembled into
the blade holder. To do this, sit
the blade holder on a bench so
that the protruding cylinder is
facing downwards and pull the
four locking clips away from the
edges of the blade holder. Next,
holding the cube cutter blade by
the outside plastic edges, align
the tab on the cube cutter blade
with the matching groove on the
blade holder and drop into the
blade holder cavity (See Fig. 4).
Make sure the cube cutter blade
sits securely and flush inside the
cavity of the blade holder.
