Tips for using your hand blender
• Blender attachment: Move the hand
blender gently up and down to obtain
best results.
• Only start the hand blender when the
blender shaft is 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.
• The maximum continuous operation time
for the blender is 2 minutes using the
TURBO speed setting with a food load
such as indicated in the "Mayonnaise"
recipe.
• Whisk: When using the whisk, avoid
beating egg whites for too long as they
might dry out and get less stable.
• Slowly add sugar to the beaten egg
whites as soon as the peaks start to form.
• The maximum continuous operation time
for the whisk is 4 minutes using the
TURBO speed setting with a typical food
load of egg whites.

ingredients such as milk, butter and
seasoning afterwards.

using the TURBO speed setting with a
food load such as indicated in the
"Mashed potatoes" recipe.

chopper without food inside the bowl.

• Cut food into pieces of the same size to
achieve even results.

sturdy surface.

correctly.
