Speed 1 on the Variable Speed Dial is the slowest and speed 5 is the highest.

NOTE: The Power Button must be kept depressed for the duration of use.

5. Move the hand blender gently in an up and down motion, until the mixture is at the desired consistency. If an extra boost of power is required when blending, push the Turbo Button.

NOTE: The Power Button must be released when selecting the Turbo Button.

6. Once ingredients have reached the desired consistency, release the Power or Boost Button and turn the Variable Speed Dial at the top of the Motor Body to ‘1’.

NOTE: If food gets lodged around the Blade or the Blade Guard, unplug the unit from the wall outlet and use a spatula to dislodge the food. The Blade is very sharp. DO NOT use your fingers.
