Operating Your Hand Blender

Operating Tips

• Cut solid foods into small pieces for easier
blending or chopping.
• The Hand Blender is equipped with
thermal protection from high operating
temperatures. Should the Hand Blender
suddenly stop during use, unplug it and
allow 10 minutes to automatically reset.
• To avoid splashing, insert the Hand
Blender into the mixture before
pressing the power button, and release
the power button before pulling the
Hand Blender out of the mixture.
• When blending in a saucepan on a
cooktop, remove the pan from the heating
element to protect the Hand Blender
from overheating.
• For best blending, hold the Hand Blender
at an angle and gently move up and down
within the container. Do not pound down
on the mixture with the Hand Blender.
• To prevent overflow, allow room in the
container for the mixture to rise when
using the Hand Blender.

Care and Cleaning

1. Unplug Hand Blender before cleaning.
2. Remove the adapters and attachments
by twisting (see "Operating Your Hand
Blender" section)
3. Wipe the motor body and adapters with
a damp cloth. Mild dish soap may be
used, but do not use abrasive cleansers.

cloth; then wipe clean with damp cloth.
Dry with soft cloth.
NOTE: Do not immerse the motor body

Storage Bag
The included drawstring storage bag (Model KHB2351 only) is designed with three
unique compartments to conveniently store the Hand Blender motor body and cord,
the blending attachment, and the whisk attachment. The durable, cotton twill bag is
machine washable.
• Be sure the extra long cord of the
Hand Blender is not extending
over a hot heating element.
• Do not let the Hand Blender sit in a hot
pan on the cooktop while not in use.
• Remove hard items, such as fruit pits
or bones, from the mixture before
blending or chopping to help prevent
damage to the blades.
• Do not use your Hand Blender to process
coffee beans or hard spices such as
nutmegs. Processing these foods could
damage the blades of the Hand Blender.
• Do not use the jar or the chopper bowl
in the microwave oven.
• The stainless steel whisk may scratch
or mar non-stick coatings; avoid using the
whisk in non-stick cookware.
• To prevent splattering, use the whisk
attachment in deep containers or pans.
