speed with one hand.
Operating your Hand Blender
First use: Remove the transportation lock from the
motor part (4) by pulling it at the red strap.

The appliance comes equipped with a safety button
for releasing the Smart Speed switch. To safely turn
it on, follow these points:
• Press the safety button (2) with your thumb. The
Pilot Light will turn solid green.
• Immediately press the Smart Speed switch and
adjust to the desired speed. Note: If the Smart
Speed switch is not pressed within 2 seconds,
the appliance cannot be switched on for safety
reasons. The pilot light will flash red. To switch
the appliance on, start again with first step.
• During operation you do not need to keep the
safety button pressed.
ActiveBlade Shaft (B)

It is also perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces,
salad dressings, soups, baby food, as well as
drinks, smoothies and milkshakes.
For best results, use the highest speed.
Assembly and Operation
• Attach the ActiveBlade shaft (6) to the motor part
until it clicks.
• Place the ActiveBlade shaft into the mixture to be
blended. Then switch the appliance on as
described above.
• Blend ingredients to the desired consistency
using a gentle up-and-down motion. Depending
on the pressure applied, the ActiveBlade shaft
will depress and blade will extend.
• After use, unplug the hand blender and press the
release buttons (5) to detach the ActiveBlade
shaft.
Caution
• Do not let liquids or ingredients overlap the green
line of the blending shaft.
• If using the appliance to purée hot food in a
saucepan or pot, remove the saucepan or pot
from the heat source and ensure the liquid is not
boiling. Allow hot food to cool slightly to avoid
risk of scalding.
• Do not let the hand blender sit in a hot pan on the
cooktop when not in use.
• Do not scratch the ActiveBlade Shaft over the
bottom of pans and pots.
