SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Read the safety instructions and booklet carefully before using it for the first time.
Read all instructions carefully, even if you are familiar with the appliance. Store the instructions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING: When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/ or injury to persons, including the following:
- To protect against electrical shock, do not put the motor body, cord, or electrical plug of this Hand Blender in water or any other liquid. The shaft of this appliance, where the blades are housed, has been designed for submersion in water or other liquids. Never submerge any other portion of this unit. If Hand Blender falls into a liquid, remove it immediately. Do not reach into the liquid without unplugging the unit first.
- This appliance should not be used by children, and close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
- Never leave appliances unattended when in use.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull it from the electrical outlet. Never pull the cord.
- To prevent personal injury, keep fingers at a safe distance from the blades.
- During the operation keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from attachments and any mixing container to reduce the risk of bodily injury and/ or damage to the appliance. A spatula can be used when the Hand Blender is not operating.
- Blades are SHARP! Handle with care when removing, inserting, or cleaning.
- Do not operate this appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact the Chefman customer service team.
- Remove the detachable shaft blade from the motorized blender handle before washing.
- When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spilling, splattering, and any possibility of injury from burning hot liquids.
- Use this appliance for its intended use. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by Chefman may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
- Do not use it outdoors or for commercial purposes.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces including a stovetop.
- Release the power button and make sure the motor has stopped completely before unplugging the appliance from the outlet, putting on or taking off attachments, and cleaning.
- Assemble the appliance properly before you put the plug in the wall socket. Align the lock icons to secure the blending attachment.
This product is intended for household use only. It may be plugged into an AC electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
- The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tripped over.
Line Cord Instruction
- Never pull or yank on a cord or the appliance.
- To insert the plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into an outlet.
- To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from the outlet.
- Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please contact Chefman Customer Service.
- Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
How to use
Make sure the blending attachment is locked before use.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE
- Attach the blending blade (5) to the appliance (4).
- Insert food into a pot, container, or any other suitable bowl. Make sure the sides of your bowl are high enough to prevent the ingredients from splashing over the sides. Grip both the blender and the bowl. To prevent splashing, first, immerse the blender blade into the food.
- Press the ON button (2).
- Press and hold the normal (2) or turbo speed (3) button to switch on the appliance. When using the non-turbo normal speed button, you can adjust the speed with the speed selector (1). The higher the speed, the shorter the blending time required. To select a different speed setting, turn the speed selector to the preferred setting before or while you press the normal speed button. When you use the turbo speed the hand blender will work at the maximum speed and the speed selector cannot be used.
- HAND BLENDER USES HELPFUL HINTS
This hand blender can be used for blending and processing ingredients including: making smoothies, milkshakes, mixed drinks, beating eggs, blending smooth batters, pureeing soup, whipping cream, making mayonnaise, sauces, dressings, gravies, and more.
HELPFUL HINTS
-
Cut most solid foods into 1/2″ cubes for easy blending. Pour liquid ingredients into a mixing container first unless the recipe instructs otherwise.
-
To avoid splashing, do not pull the hand blender out of the mixture while it is running.
-
Do not let the hand blender stand in a hot pot on the stove while not in use.
-
To prevent splashing, don’t turn the hand blender on until the blade is fully immersed in the mixture.
-
Do not put fruit pits, bones, or other hard material into the blending mixture as these are liable to damage the blades.
-
Do not overfill mixing containers. The level of the mixture will rise when blending and can overflow.
-
Adding liquids that are warm, not cold, facilitates blending solids with liquids.
-
For best results in recipes that call for ice, use crushed ice, not whole cubes.
NOTE: If a piece of food becomes lodged in the guard surrounding the blade, follow the safety instructions below: -
Release the power button and unplug the electrical cord from the wall socket.
-
After the power source is disconnected, use a spatula to carefully remove the food lodged in the guard. To avoid injury, do not use your fingers to remove any objects that become stuck.
-
After the food has been removed, you may plug the electrical cord into the wall socket and continue blending.
Caution! When finished blending, switch the blender off and then lift it
from the container.
Warning: Do not use the hand blender for more than 2 minutes of
continuous use without allowing the motor to have sufficient time to cool
down.

FAQ’s
What are immersion blenders good for?
An immersion blender can be used to mix, puree, and emulsify just about anything a regular blender can. Think pureed soups, fruity smoothies, custom aiolis, fresh pestos, baby food, and more.
Can you use an immersion blender for baking?
Hand mixers are well-suited for incorporating air into batter or dough to create fluffy, voluminous baked goods. However, hand mixer beaters are not sharp and won’t cut, chop, puree, or blend ingredients. Use an immersion blender instead of a hand mixer for these kinds of tasks.
What is the difference between a blender and an immersion blender?
A countertop blender features a jar on top of a motorized base that sits on your countertop while blending. An immersion blender is a handheld blender and does not have a jar. You can insert the blades into nearly any container including a wide pot of soup on the stove or a narrow smoothie bottle.
Can I use a hand mixer instead of an immersion blender?
Some cooks like to use an immersion blender to mix eggs and batters or to whip cream. While this can be convenient and easy, a hand mixer will also do the job; it has the added bonus of whipping in a bit more air, so you get a fluffier end product.
How do you take care of an immersion blender?
There’s an easy way to clean an immersion blender that’s actually kind of fun. After blending your recipe (like this creamy soup), fill a tall glass about three-quarters full with warm soapy water. Run the blender in the water for 10 to 20 seconds. If needed, empty and refill the glass and repeat.
Are immersion blenders heat-safe?
A handheld immersion blender is the easiest (and often safest) way to purée hot soups on the stove and is often a low-cost investment for any kitchen. Just be sure to keep the head of the blender immersed in the hot liquid when blending.
Can you use an immersion blender for sugar?
As an experiment, I pulled the regular sugar out from the cabinet, dumped a cupful in a bowl, and went at it with my immersion blender. In one minute flat, I had a cupful of powdered sugar, and fifteen minutes later, I was rolling warm-from-the-oven cookies in it.
Where can I use the immersion blender?
10 Smart Ways You Should Be Using Your Immersion Blender: Making Smoothies and Milkshakes, Beating Eggs, Blending Pancake Batter, Pureeing Soup, Making Whipped Cream, Whipping up Homemade Mayonnaise, Making Pesto Sauce, Mixing Salad Dressing, Blending Hummus, and Pureeing Tomato Sauce.
Can you use a hand-held mixer for soup?
A handheld immersion blender is the easiest (and often safest) way to purée hot soups on the stove and is often a low-cost investment for any kitchen. Just be sure to keep the head of the blender immersed in the hot liquid when blending.
Are immersion blenders hard to clean?
Though immersion blenders are easy to clean, we prefer models that have a removable blender attachment that is dishwasher-safe.
What is the best container for an immersion blender?
You want the blades to be completely covered in food or liquid, and a narrow, tall container means you don’t have to move the blender around as much as you would in a wide pot. Good options are a quart mason jar or a plastic pitcher.
Are immersion blenders safe?
The immersion blender is one of my favorite cooking implements, but it’s also pretty dangerous. In a regular blender or a food processor, the blades only spin when safely enclosed in plastic, which makes it much harder to hurt yourself.
Can an immersion blender make juice?
Types of Blenders for Making Juice Immersion Blenders and hand blenders are great for smaller jobs like blending a smaller serving of juice while you can whip up larger batches with countertop blenders.
What is another name for an immersion blender?
An immersion blender, also known as a stick blender, mini blender, hand blender, or wand blender, is a kitchen blade grinder used to blend ingredients or purée food in the container in which they are being prepared.
How many watts are needed for an immersion blender?
Think about what you will be using your immersion blender for the most. Some are perfect for purees, like when you want to make baby food. Others are designed to slice through the ice for quick smoothie-making. Most immersion blenders start at about 200 watts but can go up to 1,000 watts.
