Electrical Requirements
Volts: 220-240 V.A.C.
Hertz: 50/60 Hz
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a long extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The cord should be arranged so it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop
where it can be pulled by children or
tripped over unintentionally.

Electrical Requirements for Brazil Only
Use appropriate outlet type for your
appliance plug, as shown below:
Before operating
this appliance,
make sure the
main voltage at the
installation site is
the same as indicated
on product technical
data label.
Residence mains:
The mains wires must be of copper
with a minimum cross-section per ABNT
(NBR-5410.)
To protect this appliance and the mains
against over loading, this appliance
must be connected to a circuit that is
protected with a thermo-magnetic
circuit breaker.
If the household circuit does not include
a circuit breaker, contact an electrician
to have one installed.
Electric outlet:
For your safety and to avoid damage to
your product, it is very important that
your product is earthed correctly.
Your appliance power cord features a
hexagon-shaped plug, 10A, per ABNT
(NBR 14136).
Your residence electrical installation
must have a suitable electric outlet for
this type of plug. If not, it is your
responsibility to have one installed
by a qualified electrician.
This information is also included on the
label attached to your appliance’s cord
near the plug.
IMPORTANT:
• If it is necessary to convert your
127V appliance to 220V, use a
1.0 KVA stabiliser.
• If it is necessary to convert your 220V
appliance to 127V, use a 1.0 KVA
stabiliser.
• Never plug your
appliance into
multi-plug adapters
with another
appliance
in the same socket.
Do not use an
extension cord. This type of
connection may cause electrical
overload in the mains, and can
damage the appliance and could
cause a fire. The appliance should
be plugged into its own outlet.
• In case of oscillation in mains voltage,
install an automatic voltage stabiliser
with minimum rating of 1500 Watts
between the appliance and the
socket.
• If the cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced.

Operating Tips
• Cut solid foods into small pieces for
easier blending or chopping.
• The Hand Blender is equipped with
thermal protection from high operating
temperatures. Should the Hand Blender
suddenly stop during use, unplug it and

• To avoid splashing, insert the Hand
Blender into the mixture before
pressing the power button, and release
the power button before pulling the
Hand Blender out of the mixture.
• When blending in a saucepan on a
cooktop, remove the pan from the
heating element to protect the Hand
Blender from overheating.
• For best blending, hold the Hand Blender
at an angle and gently move up and down
within the container. Do not pound down
on the mixture with the Hand Blender.
• To prevent overflow, allow room in the
container for the mixture to rise when
using the Hand Blender.
• Be sure the extra long cord of the
Hand Blender is not extending
over a hot heating element.
• Do not let the Hand Blender sit in a hot
pan on the cooktop while not in use.
• Remove hard items, such as fruit pits
or bones, from the mixture before
blending or chopping to help prevent
damage to the blades.

coffee beans or hard spices such as
nutmegs. Processing these foods could
damage the blades of the Hand Blender.
