7 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after

the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner.
Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for exami­nation, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

9 Do not use outdoors.

10 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot

surfaces, including the stove.

11 Mixing flammable non-food substances can be harmful.

12 When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container, or

make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.

13 Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

14 Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the blender and accessories, and remove all packaging
materials. Wash the blending rod in warm, soapy water to remove any
dust that may have accumulated during packaging. Do not immerse the
motor base, cord or plug in water. Wipe the motor base with a damp
cloth.

CAUTION: The blades are very sharp. Use care when handling.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Assembly and Use

of Blending Rod

1 Ensure the Motor Base is unplugged.

Attach Blending Rod to Motor Base by
aligning the arrow on the Motor Base with
the unlock graphic on the blending rod.
Turn counterclockwise until the arrow on
the Motor Base aligns with the lock graphic
on the Blending Rod. (see figure 1)

2 Place food in suitable container for mixing

(beaker, bowl, or stockpot). For best results
solid foods should be no larger than
1/2" cubes.

3 Plug into 120-volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.

4 Immerse the Blending Rod into your

ingredients. Always start on Low Speed to
process your ingredients. If more power is
needed, simply press the High Speed
button. Slowly move the rod up, down and
sideways through the food . Note: Never lift
the Blending Rod attachment out of your
ingredients while the unit is running to
avoid splattering.

for more than one minute when using
the Blending Rod. Simply pulse to your
desired consistency.

7 When you are finished, simply release the

Speed Control Button, unplug the Motor
Base, twist the Blending Rod clockwise

Helpful Hints

• This Immersion Blender can be used in hot liquids, always use
extreme care. To avoid splashing when using the Immersion Blender
in a saucepan, insert the Blending Rod into the pan first, while
holding the Blender straight up and down. Start out with Low Speed
first. Caution: Do not tilt or lift the Immersion Blender out of the

pan while the motor is running, as a serious burn or injury can occur
from food splatter.

• To puree foods, a certain amount of liquid is needed. Add
cooking liquid, broth, juice, milk, or cream, until desired consistency
is reached.

• For thorough blending, move blade up and down in mixture until smooth.

• You will achieve better mixing results if you use deep, tall containers.

• For easy cleanup, unplug Immersion Blender and rinse under running
water immediately after using.

• Before turning the appliance on, immerse the Immersion Blender
attachment into the prepared ingredients, thus ensuring they will not
spill over.

• For greater efficiency, move the appliance in small outward spiraling
circles while mixing, without touching the bottom of your container
with the Blending Rod attachment.

• The Blending Rod attachment cannot blend hard or fibrous
ingredients efficiently unless they are no larger than 1/2" cubes.
Soft ingredients can be up to 1 inch cubes.

• Some foods require a small amount of liquid to allow them to move
freely around the blades. Soft or wetter foods require less liquid,
while dry ingredients require more liquid. Add the liquid a little at a
time until the mix gains the required consistency.

• When using the Immersion Blender, ensure the blades are fully
immersed to avoid splashing.
