Potato Masher attachment
To fit the gearbox to the masher attachment, align one of the two triangular marks on the gearbox
with the unlock symbol on the potato masher attachment. Rotate the gearbox clockwise until you
hear it click and lock into place (the triangular mark will now be aligned with the locked symbol (see
fig 1). Attach the assembled masher to the main unit by pushing the pieces together until you hear
them click into place.
If the plastic blade has become detached from the masher, place the blade onto the hub at the wide
end of shaft. Push down and twist anti-clockwise to secure (see the unlock/lock indication arrows
and symbols on the blade).
D. REMOVING THE ATTACHMENTS
To remove each attachment, hold the main unit with one hand and press the release button on the
reverse, as shown below (see fig 2). Use the other hand to pull the attachment away from the unit.
Note: When removing the whisk assembly, take care not to grasp the stainless steel whisk attachment
itself (use the whisking gearbox instead).

To operate the hand blender, press and hold the 'Safety lock/unlock' button whilst pressing the 'On/
Off' button to start the appliance.
Release the 'Safety lock/unlock' button once the appliance is functioning (see fig 3.)
NB:The appliance has a safety feature and will automatically lock again two seconds after the 'On/Off'
button is released. Follow the same sequence as above to re-activate the blender.
Speed settings
To adjust the speed settings, press the speed control switch left to reduce or right to increase. The
selected speed is shown by the number of blue lights illuminated above the switch (1 is the lowest
setting and 5 is the highest). The speed can be gradually adjusted at any time during blending.

To Pulse, press and hold the 'Safety lock/unlock' button while pressing and releasing the 'On/Off'
button as desired.
Note: The product comes with an overload protection feature. If the unit stops unexpectedly, it will
cut out and the battery power indication light will illuminate red. You can reactivate by pressing the
'Safety lock/unlock' button and the 'On/Off' button as shown in fig 3.

attachment during operation to reduce risk of injury to persons, and/or damage to the appliance. A
spatula may be used, but only when the unit is not operating.
F. HINTS &TIPS
Blending attachment
• The blade mixes and stirs while adding only a small amount of air to your mixture.
• To avoid splashing, insert the Hand Blender into the mixture before activating, and release the 'On/
Off' button before removing the Hand Blender out of the mixture.
• Use a gentle up and down motion whilst ensuring the protective blade guard on the blending shaft
remains fully submerged in the liquid to avoid splatter (tilt the pan or bowl away from you to create
a deeper area for blending).
• When blending in a non-stick pan/container, be careful not to scratch the coating with the hand
blender.
• When blending in a saucepan over heat, remove the pan from the heat source to protect the Hand
Blender from overheating. The blending shaft is safe to be used for food/liquid up to 100°C.
