or removing parts and do not put motor end in water.

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.

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

other attachments.

10 Do not use outdoors.

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.

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

Before Your First Use

Carefully unpack the blender and accessories, and remove all packaging
materials. Wash the chopping bowl, chopping blade and chopping lid,
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 and
bowl cover 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 or Wire Wisk

1 Ensure the motor base is unplugged.

Attach blending rod or wire whisk to motor
base by holding the motor base with the
arrows slightly to the right or left of the
arrows on either attachment. Turn the
motor base while holding the blending rod
firmly until the attachment snaps into
place. (see figures 1 and 2)

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 or whisk into

your ingredients. Turn the speed selector to
“MIN”, press the ON/Turbo switch to begin
blending; then gradually increase speed,
as needed. (see figure 3) Slowly move
the rod up, down and sideways through
the food . Note: Never lift the blending
rod or wire whisk attachment out of your
ingredients while the unit is running to
avoid splatter of your food.

Note: At any time during the blending
process, you can press the Turbo button to
increase the blender to its maximum speed

6 Do not operate the motor continuously

for more than one minute when using
the blending rod or wire whisk, simply
pulse the selected speed to your
desired consistency.

7 When you are finished, simply release the

ON/Turbo switch, unplug the motor base,
twist the selected blending attachment
while holding the motor base to remove.

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 “MIN”, and then press the ON/OFF switch for
operation, slowly raising 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 Attachment

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. (see figure 1) Then place
food in bowl. For best results, solid foods
should be no larger than 1/2" cubes.

3 Place the chopper bowl lid on top of the

chopper bowl. (see figure 2)

4 Attach the motor base to the chopping

bowl as follows: Hold the cover firmly with
one hand, while holding the motor base
with the arrows slightly to the right or left.
Turn the motor base until it snaps into
place. (see figure 3).

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

6 Always use slight downward pressure

when operating the motor base, while the
other hand is placed firmly on the bowl
cover to avoid the bowl from moving.
Always ensure your speed selector is on
“MAX” when chopping. Use a pulse action
when chopping by pressing and releasing
ON/Turbo switch.

7 Do not operate the motor continuously for

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

8 When you are finished, simply release the

ON/Turbo switch, unplug the motor base,
and detach it from the chopping bowl lid.

Care & Cleaning

1 Unplug the unit from the outlet. Remove the blender rod attachment

from the motor base for cleaning by turning it to the right or left.
Clean the Blending Rod in warm, soapy water. Caution: Blades are

sharp. Handle with care. Do not immerse the bowl cover, motor
base, cord or plug in water. Wipe the motor base and bowl cover
with a damp cloth only.

2 If food particles are not easily rinsed off the blender rod or

attachment, place a drop of dish detergent in a mixing container
with one cup of warm water. Plug cord into outlet. Immerse the
blade portion and metal rod and operate the unit for about 10
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 attachment, remove the bowl cover first,

then the chopping blade. Do not immerse the chopper bowl 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. Do not 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
by any attempted sharpening.
