HOW TO USE

• For your protection, Waring® Immersion Blenders are equipped with a 3- conductor cord set having a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure 1. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure 2, may be obtained to enable a 2-slot wall outlet to be used with a 3-prong plug. Referring to Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.
  CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
  NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

NOTE: Always unplug the Waring® Immersion Blender before cleaning the metal blade.
Before using the Immersion Blender, Waring suggests that you wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. While detached, place metal blade at the end of the shaft under running water to rinse it. Dry thoroughly with a soft, absorbent cloth. Read all instructions carefully for detailed operating procedures.

USING YOUR WARING® IMMERSION BLENDER

INTENDED USE
Waring® Immersion Blenders are intended for use in restaurants, large kitchens and small companies when mixing and liquidizing and giving soups and sauces a perfect consistency. You can operate directly in the pot to mix everything from fish soups, stews, creams and salad dressings to pancake mixes, pastes, sauces, mayonnaise and much, much more. For nurseries or for special diets, use the Immersion Blender to prepare purées of vegetables, porridge, raw carrot purée, fruit creams, etc.

ASSEMBLY

With unit unplugged, align the tube assembly to Power Pack and turn it a quarter of a turn to lock into place. Follow arrows on the tube assembly.

OPERATION:

1. Plug unit into outlet.

2. Plunge the Immersion Blender into the pot. DO NOT SUBMERGE MORE THAN 3/4 OF THE SHAFT LENGTH.

3. The Immersion Blender has 2 switches. The safety switch is located on the top of the handle and the power trigger switch is located on the inner handle. To start unit, press the safety switch and the power trigger switch simultaneously. The safety switch will only need to be pressed once to start the unit. You do not need to hold down the safety switch for the unit to continue running; however, the unit will remain ON as long as the power trigger switch is depressed.

4. Select the desired speed by turning the speed knob. Speed ranges from 1, the lowest speed, to 9, the highest speed.

5. Use the cord wrap knob as a second handle for stability and safety.

6. Angle the Immersion Blender slightly and start to stir while keeping the blade off the bottom of the pot so that preparation will not be sucked up by the vortex action.

7. Remove the Immersion Blender from the pot after blender has come to a complete stop.
   NOTE: Always unplug Immersion Blender after each use. Keep the appliance out of reach of children.

   • To prevent splattering, be careful never to remove the Immersion Blender from liquid while in operation.
   • When a recipe calls for ice, use crushed ice (not whole cubes) for best results.

NOTE: If a piece of food becomes lodged in the protective blade guard surrounding the metal blade, follow the safety instructions below:

1. Release the power trigger and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the shaft from the Power Pack.
3. Use a spatula to carefully remove the food lodged in the blade guard. The blade is very sharp. DO NOT USE YOUR FINGERS TO REMOVE LODGED OBJECTS.
4. You may now reattach shaft, plug unit back in, and continue blending.

RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTION

The immersion blender you have purchased is equipped with an Automatic Reset Switch to protect the motor from overheating. If your immersion blender stops running under heavy use, press the power switch to the OFF button, unplug the power cord, and allow approximately 5 minutes for the motor to cool down. Plug the power cord back into the outlet and continue blending.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

THE WSB50/WSB55/WSB60/WSB65/WSB70 IMMERSION BLENDERS MUST BE CLEANED AND DRIED AFTER EACH USE, ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

For Food Service Applications

• Wash, rinse, and sanitize the stainless steel portion of the Immersion Blender prior to initial use, after each use, or whenever it will not be used again within a period of 1 hour.
• Washing solutions based on non-sudsing detergents, and chlorine-based sanitizing solutions having a minimum chloride concentration of 100 PPM are recommended.

The following washing, rinsing, and sanitizing solutions, or their equivalents may be used.

In applications requiring repetitive use, frequent cleaning will prolong life.

To wash and sanitize:

1. Rinse the exterior and interior stainless steel shaft of the Immersion Blender under running water. Scrub and flush the exterior and interior stainless steel portion to dislodge and remove as much food residue as possible.

2. Wipe down the stainless steel shaft of the Immersion Blender with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with the washing solution.

3. Immerse approximately 3/4 of the length of the stainless steel shaft in a container of the washing solution and run for two (2) minutes on High.

4. Repeat steps two (2) and three (3), using clean rinse water in place of the washing solution.
   NOTE – IMPORTANT
   IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF SCALDING, TEMPERATURE OF THE WASHING SOLUTION AND RINSE WATER MUST NOT EXCEED 115°F (46°C).

5. DO NOT RINSE AFTER SANITIZING IS COMPLETE. Allow to air-dry before use.
