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.

8 The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance

manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

9 The maximum electrical rating occurs when using chopper

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

surfaces, including the stove.

12 Mixing flammable non-food substances can be harmful.

Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the blender and accessories, and remove all packaging
materials. Wash the chopping bowls, chopping blades, bowl covers,
blending rod, wire whisk and mixing beaker 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.

Blending Rod or Whisk and pressing
straight down until you hear a click. (see
figure 1)

to “1”, press the top Pulse Button to begin
blending; then gradually increase speed,
as needed. (see figure 2) Slowly move the
Rod up, down and sideways through the

your food.

process, you can press the Turbo Button
(bottom black button) to increase the
blender to its maximum speed. You cannot

Helpful Hints

• The hand blender can be used in hot liquids. Always use care when
using in hot liquids. To avoid splashing when using the hand blender
in a saucepan, insert the hand blender into the pan first, set the
speed dial to “1”, and then press the Pulse Button. Slowly increase
the speed to your desired setting. 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 blender and rinse under running water
immediately after using.

• Place liquid ingredients into the beaker first unless recipe specifically
states otherwise.

• Before turning the appliance on, immerse the hand 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 the beaker with
the hand blender attachment.

• The hand blender attachment cannot blend hard or fibrous ingre­dients unless they are in less than 1/2" pieces, soft ones into 1/2 - 1"
pieces.

• 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 hand blender, ensure the blades are covered to avoid
splashing.

Assembly and Use

of Food Chopper Attachments

1 Ensure the Motor Base is unplugged.

2 Assemble Chopper Bowl by first placing

the Chopping Blade onto the Blade Shaft
in the Chopper Bowl. Then place food in

be no larger than 1/2" cubes.

3 Attach the Motor Base onto the Chopper

Lid by pressing down until you hear a click.

4 Attach Motor Base to top of Bowl Cover

by turning clockwise.

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

6 Attach the assembled Motor Base with Lid

to the Chopping Bowl Cover as follows:
Line up the tab on the Cover with the
groove on the Chopper Bowl (see figure 1).
Insert cover tab into groove of Bowl and
turn clockwise until it locks in place (see
figure 2).

7 Set the speed selector to 5. Always ensure

your hand is placed firmly on the Bowl
Cover. Use a pulse action when chopping
by pressing and releasing the Pulse Button
until desired consistency.

8 Do not operate the motor continuously for

more than 15 seconds when using chopper
attachment, otherwise food will be too
finely chopped.

9 When you are finished, simply release the

Pulse Button and unplug the Motor Base.
To remove the lid, turn the Motor Base
counter clockwise and lift straight up.

10 Assembly of Nonskid Base/Cover:

The nonskid base also serves as a cover
for your chopping bowls and beaker.

seconds. Unplug, rinse under hot water, then dry.

3 Simply wipe the Motor Base clean with a damp cloth. Never hold the

Motor Base under running water or immerse it in any liquid.

4 Do not use pointed or sharp objects to remove food particles.

5 To clean the Food Chopper Attachments, remove the Bowl Cover

cover in water. Wipe with a damp cloth using dishwashing liquid if
necessary. The Chopper Bowl and Chopping Blade can be washed in
warm, soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher. Be sure to
remove the dual use nonskid Base/Cover before placing in
dishwasher. Do not to use abrasive or harsh cleansers.

Important: Do not try to sharpen the cutting edges of any blades.
They have been precision honed at the factory and will be damaged
