IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

• Always operate the stick mixer from power source of the same voltage, frequency and rating as indicated on the product identification plate.
• Do not use with an extension cord.
• Close supervision is necessary when stick mixer is used by or near children, or incapacitated persons. Do not allow children to use it as a toy.
• Do not operate stick mixer with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
• Do not twist, kink or wrap the power cord around the appliance as this may cause the insulation to weaken and split, particularly where it enters the unit.
• To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put stick mixer motor in water or other liquid. This may cause personal injury and/or damage to the product.
• After each operation, allow the stick mixer to cool for 3 minutes before using it again.

• This stick mixer should not be used in the immediate vicinity of water, such as bathtubs, washbowls, etc., where the likelihood of immersion or splashing could occur.
• Switch off and unplug from the outlet while not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. Remove by grasping the plug; do not pull on the cord.
• Avoid contact with moving parts. Keep hands, hair, clothing, as well as spatulas and other utensils away from the blade during operation to reduce the risk of injury to persons and/or damage to the stick mixer. A spatula or scraper may be used when the appliance is not in operation.
• When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
• Do not place stick mixer on or near a hot burner or in a heated oven.
• Do not use over a stove or other heat source. When mixing soups or other hot foods or liquids, remove the saucepan from the heat source before using the stick mixer.

CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Handle carefully. Keep hands and utensils out of the container while operating to prevent the possibility of severe personal injury and/or damage to the product or property.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO OPERATE YOUR HAND BLENDER

CONNECTION AND USE

• Your blender is a three-part assembly. The upper part contains the motor housing and the speed buttons. The lower part contains the Blade housing or the chopper attachment.

• To Lock: Hold the motor housing in the right hand and the Blade housing or the chop housing in the left. Attach the motor housing up to the Blade housing or the chop housing. Rotate the motor housing to the left. The assembly locks firmly.

• To Unlock: Hold the motor housing in the right hand and the Blade housing or the chop housing in the left. Rotate the motor housing to the right to separate the units.

• Place dual purpose lid on the bottom of the blending/measuring cup for added stability.

• Immerse the blade guard completely into ingredients.

• Depress the High or Low button and begin blending ingredients by moving the appliance up and down and in circles. Adjust speed as necessary. For continuous blending, maintain pressure on button for a maximum of 1minute. Blending action stops as soon as button is released. (Models 2609, 2611 and 2614 only)

• Hold the hand blender firmly.
  NOTE: During blending use, it is normal for suction to be created at the bottom of the container.

• When desired consistency has been reached, release button and lift the blender from mixture. To prevent splashing, always release button before removing blender from the ingredients.
  CAUTION: To extend the life of this appliance, never let it operate continuously for more than 1 minute at a time. After 1 minute of continuous operation, release button and let the appliance rest for 3 minutes before using it again. WARNING: Do not use hand blender in a saucepan directly on the stovetop. Remove pan from heat before blending.

BLENDING CUP / MEASURING CUP INFORMATION

• The lid can be easily used as a cover for storage.
• For added stability, use the dual purpose lid on the base of the Blending Cup.
• The cup which is included with your hand blender functions as a blending cup, a measuring cup and can also be used for storage.

MEASURING CHART FOR BLENDING CUP

REMOVAL OF BLENDING ROD

Grasp the blending rod firmly and rotate the motor housing to the right.

*USING THE CHOPPER ATTACHMENT (MODEL 2612 ONLY)**

The chopper accessory is ideal for chopping a wide range of vegetables, dried fruits, nuts, etc.

• Insert the cutting blade into the chopping bowl
• For best results, cut large ingredients into pieces of approximately 1/2-inch cubed before chopping

NOTE: Do not chop large ice cubes or extremely hard foods, such as whole nutmegs, coffee beans, dried corn and grains.

• Secure the chopper cover by setting it on the bowl and turning to the right until firmly locked into place.  The upper shaft of the chopping blade will fit into the receiving hole in the underside of the cover.
• Attach the motor housing to the top of the bowl cover and turn to the right until the motor housing is firmly locked into place. Plug the cord into a convenient outlet.
• The chopper has two speeds*. Press and hold the appropriate button to switch the blender on. Release the button to switch the unit off.
  • Variable speed for Model 2612.
• Use the slow speed where possible especially if you want to chop the food into bigger pieces. The high speed can be used for chopping the food to small pieces or for pureed foods.
• You can adjust the speed of the unit with the speed control when using slow speed or high-speed function.
• If the ingredients stick to the chopper bowl sides, loosen them by adding a small amount of liquid or by using a spatula to scrape the food back into the inner part of the bowl.
• Release the speed control button and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the bowl cover by turning cover to the left. Take care when removing the blade and hold only by the shaft handle as the metal blade is sharp.
  NOTE: Do not clean blades with fingers but use a spoon or spatula to scrape food into the bowl after the blade is removed.
  CAUTION: Unplug the appliance before attaching the chopper attachment. Put the food ingredients in the chopper bowl, secure the bowl cover to the chopping bowl and attach the motor housing to it. Use the slow speed, especially if you are chopping lumps in the ingredients. The high speed can be used as a finishing touch.

CLEANING YOUR HAND BLENDER

BE SURE THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN.

The motor unit should be wiped clean with a damp cloth or sponge. NEVER immerse the motor unit in water. After using your hand blender, the blades, blending cup and/or chopper bowl may be washed by hand with mild soap and water.
