Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of
foods. This appliance is not intended for use with any non food materials or
products.
Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug
(one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one
way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the
hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer
cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Helpful hints
- The hand blender is not designed for use over a heat source.
- This appliance is not intended to chop ice. Add ice to beverage after blending.
- To use the hand blender in a saucepan, be sure to remove the pan from the stove.
- To puree foods, liquid is needed. Add cooking liquid, broth, juice, milk, or cream until desired consistency is reached.
- For thorough blending, move hand blender up and down in mixture until smooth.
- To achieve best blending results and to reduce splattering (especially hot foods or liquids), use deep, tall containers.
- The plastic lid of the measuring jar may be flipped upside down and placed underneath the base of the cup or chopping bowl in order to provide a more stable surface while blending.
- Do not immerse the motor unit past the top metal portion of each blending attachment.
- We recommend chopping only 5 oz. (142 g) of meat at a time in the food chopper. Meat should be cut into 2-inch (5.1-cm) pieces before processing.
