Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution
The hand blender will not operate. The hand blender is not connected to the
mains power supply. Plug in and switch on the hand blender at the mains power

supply.
The blades will not move when in contact with ingredients.| The ingredients are hard vegetables such as potato, carrot and turnip, making it difficult for the hand blender to blend.| Only blend ingredients such as cooked vegetables or soft fruit.

Storage
Reassemble the hand blender. Check that the hand blender is cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the hand blender; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
