Braun MultiQuick 7 MQ 7087 Mode D'emploi page 14

One handed operation: the Smartspeed switch (1)
allows you to turn on the appliance and control the
speed with one hand.
ActiveBlade Shaft (A)
The hand blender is equipped with an ActiveBlade
shaft, which enables the knife extend to the bottom
of the bell. The adjustment is made automatically
by pressure required in blending tasks, especially
suited to mix hard foods e.g raw fruits and
vegetables.
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 (4) 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
EasyClick Plus release buttons (3) to detach the
ActiveBlade shaft.
Caution
• Do not let liquids or ingredients overlap the green
line of the ActiveBlade 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.
Recipe Example: Mayonnaise
250 g oil (e.g. sunflower oil)
1 egg and 1 extra egg yolk
1–2 tbsp. Vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
• Place all ingredients (at room temperature) into
the beaker in the order as above.
• Place the hand blender at the bottom of the
beaker. Blend at maximum speed until the oil
starts emulsifying.
• With the hand blender still running, slowly raise
the shaft to the top of the mixture and back down
to incorporate the rest of the oil.
NOTE: Processing time: approx. 1 minute for
salads and up to 2 minutes for a thicker
mayonnaise (e.g. for dip).

Whisk Accessory (A)
Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating egg
whites, making sponge cakes and ready-mix
desserts.
Assembly and Operation
• Attach the whisk (6b) to the gearbox (6a).
• Align the motor part with the assembled whisk
accessory and push the pieces together until
they click.
• After use, unplug and press the EasyClick Plus
release buttons to detach the motor part. Then
pull the whisk out of the gearbox.
Tips for Best Results
• Move the whisk clockwise while holding it at a
slight incline.
• To prevent splattering, start slowly and use the
whisk accessory in deep containers or pans.
• Place the whisk in a bowl and only then switch the
appliance on.
• Always ensure the whisk and mixing bowl are
completely clean and free of fat before whisking
egg whites. Only whip up to 4 egg whites.
Recipe Example: Whipped Cream
400 ml chilled cream (min. 30% fat content, 4 - 8 °C)
• Start with low speed (light pressure on the switch)
and increase the speed (more pressure on
switch) while whipping.
• Always use fresh chilled cream to achieve greater
and more stable volume when whisking.
Puree Accessory (B)
The puree accessory can be used to mash cooked
vegetables and fruits such as potatoes, sweet
potatoes, tomatoes, plums and apples.
Before Use
• Do not mash hard or uncooked food, as this may
damage the unit.
• Peel and remove any stones or hard parts; cook
and drain then mash the fruit/vegetable.
Assembly and Operation
• Fit the gearbox (7a) to the shaft (7b) by turning in
a clockwise direction until it locks into place.
• Turn the puree accessory upside down and fit
the paddle (7c) over the central hub and turn
counter- clockwise to locate. (If the gearbox is
not fitted properly, then the paddle will not secure
in place).
• Align the assembled puree accessory with the
motor part and click the two parts together.
Plug in.
• Dip the puree accessory into the ingredients and
switch on the appliance.
