Tips for using your hand blender
Blender attachment: Move the hand
blender gently up and down to obtain best results.
• Start the hand blender only after the blender shaft has been placed into the mixture to be blended.
• Cut food into small pieces to make blending and chopping easier.
• Do not immerse the motor body in water or other liquids.
• To incorporate air into the mixture, hold the blade just under the surface.
Whisk attachment: When using the whisk attachment, avoid beating egg whites for too long as they might dry out and become less stable.
• Add sugar to beaten egg whites slowly after the peaks have started to form.
Potato masher: When using the potato
masher, use a low speed for potatoes as they are starchy and must not be overworked. Use a higher speed for mashing vegetables such as turnips and sweet potatoes.
• Mash the vegetables while hot.
• Mash the vegetables first and add other ingredients, such as milk, butter and seasoning, afterwards.
• Chopper attachment: Do not operate the chopper without food inside the bowl.
• Do not overload the chopper bowl.
• Cut food into pieces of the same size to achieve even results.
• Place the chopper bowl on a flat and sturdy surface.
• Make sure that the blade is correctly inserted.
• It is best to chop foods that are not too hot.
• Some spices may scratch the chopper bowl.
