Actual usage may vary depending on quality of food and desired chop size. 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. • 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 pitcher 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. 12
