IMPORTANT: Damage to the appliance!
In addition we offer the following essential safety advice.
Location
• Do not use outdoors.
Charger lead
• The charger lead should reach without
straining the connections.
• Do not let the charger lead hang over the
edge of a worktop where a child could reach it.
• Do not let the charger lead run across an
open space e.g. between a low socket and table.
• Do not let the charger lead run across a
cooker or toaster or other hot areas which might damage the cable.
Personal safety

before cleaning or removing parts.
•WARNING: Do not touch moving
parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing as well as utensils away from the hand blender blades.
•WARNING: Take care when handling
metal blades as they are very sharp. Do not touch the blade or hold the leg at this end when fitting to the body.
•WARNING: To remove the blender
leg, hold blender in a position so you cannot press the operating button, grip shaft of blender leg, press the release button and pull apart.
•WARNING: Always remove the blender leg before cleaning, this will reduce accidental operation of the blender.
• Don’t clean the blender leg under running water while still attached to the main housing.
• Do not use during cooking processes or with boiling liquids.
•WARNING: To protect against fire, electric shock and personal injury do not immerse charger, base or blender in water or other liquid.
Children

•Teach children to be aware of dangers in the kitchen, warn them of the dangers of reaching up to areas where they cannot see properly or should not be reaching.
Other safety considerations
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged charger lead or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact our helpline for advice on examination and repair.

Unpacking your cordless hand blender
WARNING: Carefully unpack your hand blender as blades are very sharp.
Wash all parts before first use, see cleaning instructions page 10.
Assembly
1 Fit the blender body and blender leg
onto the base unit as shown. A 2 Attach the charging adaptor plug into
the socket on the base unit. B 3 Plug the adaptor into a suitable 13A
socket outlet and switch on.
Charging
1 Attach the blender to the base unit as
described in assembly. The red light will illuminate to show that the body is correctly located in the base and that it is accepting a charge.
• If the red light is not illuminated, lift up the blender body and relocate in the base.
• The unit is designed to be left on continuous charge. The ‘smart’ charger fully charges and maintains the charge ready for use. A full charge can be reached in 3 hours, in normal use recharging is 1 to 2 hours.
• Leaving the unit on continuous charge is inexpensive in terms of the amount of electricity being used.
• When the unit is fully charged the red light will go out and green will illuminate to show it is fully charged and maintained. IMPORTANT: When new and charging for
the first time or the blender has not been on charge for a long period the battery will be discharged.
• The green light may illuminate within 15 minutes, this is a false indication which is common with discharged batteries. Switch off at the mains then switch back on, this will reactivate the charging cycle. Red light will illuminate to show charging has started.
• Repeat this procedure if it happens again. Charging will now revert to normal and take approx 3 hours to fully charge.

Hints for blending
• The blender is perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise, milkshakes and baby food.
• The blender can be used to purée cooked vegetables, tinned tomatoes and any soft or pre-cooked food etc. It is ideal to turn a cooked broth or stew into a smooth soup and to prepare baby food. You may need to add a little water to cooked vegetables when blending to encourage a puree to form.
• For milkshakes, cut soft fruit or bananas in 1.5cm cube size pieces for easy blending, add milk and icecream a little at a time during blending.
• If food has been cooked in a saucepan transfer to a cooler bowl, this will protect the leg from heat distortion. For smaller quantities use the measuring beaker provided.
• Blending results will be better in the beaker provided as this allows control of the food being blended.
Blender rest position
Whilst not blending temporarily, lay the
blender down on the work top as shown. F

Wall mounting
The charging stand can be wall mounted or free standing. To wall mount find a suitable position on the wall away from concealed pipes and electricity cables.
Use the stand with blender in place to determine the position most suitable, mark a line on the wall across the top of the charger stand. From this line mark a horizontal line 15mm below, now mark 2 holes 40mm apart. I
Using wall plugs and screws provided, fix so screw heads are 5mm from the surface. Hang the charger base and adjust the depth position of the screws if required to improve the fit.
Tips for blending
When processing foods with strong colour (eg. carrots) the plastic parts of the appliance may become discoloured. Use cooking oil to clean any discoloured parts. Permanent discolouration may happen, this is acceptable.
Trouble shooting
• If the blender is not charging, red or
green light is not illuminated on charger.
Check the following:
• The charger adaptor · is fitted into the
charging socket fi.
