General Safety Instructions

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Read this manual thoroughly before first use, even if you are familiar with this type of product. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury when correctly adhered to. Keep the manual in a safe place for future reference, along with any warranty information, your purchase receipt and the carton. If applicable, pass these instructions on to the next owner of the appliance. Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when using an electrical appliance, including the following:

Electrical safety and cord handling

• Voltage: Make sure that your outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label before connecting the appliance to a readily accessible electrical wall outlet.
• Protect from moisture: Do not place the appliance near a sink or basin so that the appliance, the mains plug and the power cord cannot accidentally come into contact with water. If the appliance, mains plug or cord falls into water, turn off the power immediately. Do not reach into the water!
• WARNING! Do not immerse: To reduce the risk of electrocution, never operate this product with wet hands. Never immerse the product, the mains plug and/or the power cord in water or other liquid.
• Power cord: Do not kink, bend, squash or damage the power cord and protect it from sharp edges and heat. Do not let it hang over the edge of a table or benchtop, or touch hot surfaces. Do not put any stress on the power cord where it connects to the product, as the power cord could fray and break.
• No extension cord: Do not use an extension cord. Insert the plug directly into an electrical outlet. But if you must use one, make sure it has the same technical specifications as the one of the appliance.
• Cord handling: Unwind the power cord completely for use. Run the cord in such a way that there will be no risk of anyone pulling it inadvertently or tripping over it.
• Damage : Do not pick up or operate the appliance if the power supply cord, plug or housing is damaged, or after it malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Switch off and unplug the stick mixer from the outlet when it is not in use and before attaching/detaching or cleaning the mixing shaft. Grip the plug when disconnecting, do not pull the cord.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
• Winding the cord: If winding the power cord, avoid tight bends as this could damage the cord.

Instructions

This STIRLING 800 W stick mixer is a versatile piece of kitchen equipment with a number of uses. The many attachments and accessories enable it to prepare dips, sauces, soups and baby food, as well as for blending milkshakes, smoothies and other drinks. This device can also be used to chop herbs or onions, or create spice pastes.

USING Stick Mixer

Using the hand blender
The hand blender is suitable for the preparation of dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise, baby food and much more.

• To assemble the stick mixer, hold the motor unit by the handle and then attach the blender attachment by inserting it into the base of the motor unit (Fig. 1). Gently press it in place until you hear a “click” noise, which will indicate the two are properly attached.
• When using this appliance, it is recommended that you start on the lowest speed setting (1) and then slowly turning the dial clockwise, until it reaches the desired speed (max. 12).
• Place the bending shaft blender into the 600 mL measuring cup (or a similar vessel), before pressing and holding the power button.
• Once you have sufficiently blended your ingredients (using the TURBO button for extra speed if necessary), unplug the appliance and press the eject buttons on either side of the shaft to remove the blender stick.
• Do not tilt in the device in the container; keep the appliance as vertical as possible while blending.

Using the chopper
The chopper is best suited for chopping and slicing moderately hard food, such as meat, cheese, onion, herb, garlic, carrots, walnuts, almonds, prunes etc.

• This appliance is not suitable for chopping extremely hard foods.
• Carefully pick up the “S” blade (CAUTION: This blade is VERY sharp. Always hold it by the upper plastic part, and never the blade itself).
• Place the blade onto the centre pin at the bottom of the chopper bowl. Press down on the upper plastic part of the blade, until you feel it lock into place. Ensure that the chopper bowl sits on its anti-slip base.
• Place the food into the chopper bowl.
• Place the chopping bowl lid on the chopper bowl.
• Place the motor unit on the chopper bowl lid by inserting it into the base of the motor unit (Fig. 2). Gently press it in place until you hear a “click” noise, which will indicate the two are properly attached.
• When using this appliance, it is recommended that you start on the lowest speed setting (1) and then slowly turning the dial clockwise, until it reaches the desired speed (max. 12).
• Press the switch to operate the chopper. During processing, hold the motor unit with one hand and the chopper bowl with the other.
• Once you have sufficiently chopped your ingredients (using the TURBO button for extra speed if necessary), unplug the appliance and press the eject buttons on either side of the shaft to remove the blender stick.
• Remove the chopping bowl lid.
• Carefully remove the blade.
• Remove the processed food from the chopper bowl.

Using the Whisk
The whisk is best suited for whipping cream, beating egg whites, and mixing sponges and ready-made desserts.

• Insert the whisk into the whisk holder, and then slot the gear box onto the motor until it locks (Fig. 3).
• Place the whisk into the vessel.
• When using this appliance, it is recommended that you start on the lowest speed setting (1) and then slowly turning the dial clockwise, until it reaches the desired speed (max. 12).
• Once you have sufficiently whisked your ingredients (using the TURBO button for extra speed if necessary), unplug the appliance and press the eject buttons on either side of the shaft to remove the gear box after use. Then, detach the whisk from the gear box.

Using the Milk Frother
The milk frother is best suited for frothing hot or cold milk (or milk substitute) for coffees, hot chocolates, and other beverages.

• Insert the milk frother into the whisk holder unit (Fig. 4).
• Connect the coupling unit to the motor unit.
• Place the frother into the vessel.
• When using this appliance, it is recommended that you start on the lowest speed setting (1) and then slowly turning the dial clockwise, until it reaches the desired speed (max. 12).
• Once you have sufficiently frothed your milk (using the TURBO button for extra speed if necessary), unplug the appliance and press the eject buttons on either side of the shaft to remove the gear box after use. Then, detach the milk frother from the gear box.
