water)

This is for guidance only and will vary depending on the exact recipe and ingredients being processed.

to use the hand blender

You can blend soups, sauces, milk shakes, mayonnaise and baby food etc.

for beaker blending (if beaker supplied)

Fit the rubber ring base 9 on the bottom of the beaker. (This stops the beaker sliding on the worktop).
Do not fill the beaker more than 2⁄3 full.
After blending you can fit the lid 7 to the top of the beaker.

Note
If no beaker is supplied in your pack, select a suitably sized container. We would recommend a tall, straight sided vessel with a diameter slightly larger than the foot of the hand blender to allow movement of the ingredients but tall enough to prevent splashing

for saucepan blending

For safest use it is recommended to take the pan off the heat and let hot liquids cool to room temperature before blending.
Use the soup XL PRO (if supplied) to quickly process soups etc., directly in the saucepan. Alternatively use the hand blender.

Do not use the soup blender to process uncooked vegetables.

Remove the blade cover 6 or bl from the end of the blender shaft/ soup XL PRO.
Fit the power handle inside the blender shaft 1 and turn clockwise to lock.
Plug in.
Place the food into the beaker or a similar container, then holding the beaker steady: Select the required speed using the variable speed control then press the ON button. Select a low speed for slower blending and to minimise splashing and a higher speed or Turbo for faster blending (refer to recommended usage chart).
- To avoid splashing, place the blade in the food before switching on.
- Do not let liquid get above the join between the power handle and blender shaft.
- Move the blade through the food and use a mashing or stirring action to incorporate the mixture.
- Your hand blender is not suitable for ice crushing.
- If your blender gets blocked, unplug before clearing.
After use release the ON or Turbo button. Unplug and turn the power handle anticlockwise to remove the blender shaft from the power handle.
to use the whisk
- You can whip light ingredients such as egg whites; cream and instant desserts.
- Do not whisk heavier mixtures such as fat and sugar – you’ll damage the whisk.
1. Push the wire whisk into the whisk collar 2.
2. Fit the power handle to the whisk collar, turn clockwise to lock.
3. Place your food in a bowl.
4. Plug in and press the ON button. To whisk on a faster speed, select a higher speed or press the Turbo button. Move the whisk clockwise. To reduce splashing, select a low speed then press the ON button.
- Do not let liquid get above the whisk wires.
1. After use release the ON or Turbo button, unplug and dismantle.

to use frother/foaming tool (if supplied)

Never add ingredients whilst the appliance is operating.
Take care when blending hot liquids, do not process more than 300mls in the beaker.
Do not process more than 400mls of cold milk in the beaker as it may overflow as it froths and thickens.
1. Fit the frother/foaming tool shaft to the power handle. Turn the power handle clockwise to lock.
2. Start mixing on a low speed and increase the speed if required.
To avoid splashing place the frother/foaming tool in the food to be processed before switching on. Always ensure that the bottom of the frother/foaming tool is fully submersed in the ingredients whilst processing.
Always add the liquid ingredients first.
Always mash fruit to a smooth puree before adding.
If using syrups and powder mixes add them just before mixing to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
For best results, all liquid ingredients should be as cold as possible.
Milk drinks will taste better if the milk is ice cold. The colder the milk, the thicker and more frothy the drink. Skimmed milk will produce a frothier drink than semi skimmed or full fat milk.
Never try to mix frozen fruit or crush ice.
Break up large lumps of ice cream before frothing.
to use the chopper (if supplied)
You can chop meat, vegetables, herbs, bread, biscuits and nuts.
Do not chop hard foods such as coffee beans, ice cubes, spices or chocolate – you’ll damage the blade.
1. Remove any bones and cut food into 1-2cm (1⁄2-1”) cubes.
2. Fit the rubber ring base bt on the bottom of the chopper bowl. (This stops the bowl sliding on the worktop.)
3. Fit the chopper blade over the pin in the bowl 3.
4. Add your food.
5. Fit the chopper cover, turn and lock 4.
6. Fit the power handle to the chopper cover 5 – turn clockwise to lock.
7. Plug in. Hold the bowl steady. Then press the Turbo button. Alternatively press the Turbo button in short bursts to achieve a pulsing action.
8. After use, unplug and dismantle.
  Metal Masherpro™ (if supplied)
  important
Never use the masher in a saucepan over direct heat. Always remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
Do not tap the masher on the side of the cooking vessel during or after mashing. Use a spatula to scrape excess food away.
For best results when mashing never fill a saucepan etc., more than half full with food.
1. Cook hard vegetables and fruit and drain first before mashing.
2. Fit the masher collar to the masher shaft by turning in a clockwise direction until it locks in position 6.
3. Fit either the coarse or fine screen to the masher shaft – turn clockwise to lock 7.
4. Turn the masher upside down and fit the paddle over the central hub and turn anti-clockwise to secure 8. (If the collar is not fitted then the paddle will not secure in place).
5. Fit the power handle to the masher assembly – turn clockwise to lock.
6. Plug in.
7. Place the masher in the saucepan or bowl etc. Select a low speed on the variable control and then press the ON button (refer to recommended usage chart).
Move the masher in an up and down movement throughout the mix until the desired result is achieved. Increase the speed if required.
