TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
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, press the
UNLOCK button once, then press
the PULSE button. If the unit does not
operate, but shows information on the
battery indicator bar, allow 10 minutes
to automatically reset. If the unit does
not display information on the battery
indicator bar, charge the battery. If the
battery is already fully charged, and the
unit fails to operate, contact KitchenAid.
• When blending in a saucepan on a
cooktop, remove the pan from the
heating element to keep the
Hand Blender from overheating.
16
• 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 avoid
damage to the blades.
• Do not use your Hand Blender to process
coffee beans or hard spices such as
nutmegs. Processing these foods could
damage the blades of the Hand Blender.
• Do not use the pitcher or the chopper
bowl in the microwave oven.
• The stainless steel whisk may scratch or
mark non-stick coatings; avoid using the
whisk in non-stick cookware.
• To avoid splattering, use the whisk
attachment in deep containers or pans.
