• Always shut the blender off, wait until the blades stop spinning and unplug from the outlet before cleaning.

• The hand blender has no user serviceable parts, do not attempt to repair. If the hand blender is malfunctioning in any way or if any part gets damaged, call customer service or your authorized service agent.

1. Make sure the unit is off and unplugged from your electrical outlet.

6. Wipe motor-end of unit with a clean, damp cloth.

TIPS

• The hand blender performs its tasks very quickly. Stop blender frequently to check the consistency before contents become too fine or over blended.
• Cut all solid foods such as cooked meats, vegetables and fruit into ¾ inch pieces before blending.
• It will sometimes be necessary to stop blending and remove the blade-end from the ingredients and reinsert several times before mixture becomes smooth.
• To avoid splattering, do not lift unit out of ingredients while the motor is still on.
• For fluffy shakes, aerate upper part of mixture by raising blender from bottom of container. This is great for turning heavy cream into fluffy whipped cream.
• Avoid getting mixture up past the joining section of the blender shaft and the power handle.
