Rest the Hand Blender on the bottom of the Blending Pitcher momentarily then hold at an angle and slowly draw it upwards against the side of the Pitcher. As the Hand Blender is drawn up you will notice the ingredients from the bottom of the Pitcher being drawn up. When the ingredients are no longer being drawn up from the bottom, return the Hand Blender to the bottom of the Pitcher and repeat the process until the ingredients are at the desired consistency.

Using a light circular motion from your wrist, draw the Hand Blender up slightly and let it fall again into the ingredients. Allow your wrist motion and the weight of the Hand Blender to do the work.

   NOTE: Hand Blender should only be immersed in liquids the length of the attachment. Do not submerge beyond the seam of the whisk adapter. Do not immerse the motor body into liquids or other mixtures.
   To prevent splattering and splash-out, use the Whisk Attachment in deep containers or pans.

• When blending in a saucepan on a cooktop, remove the pan from the heating element to protect the Hand Blender from overheating.
• For best blending, hold the Hand Blender at an angle and gently move up and down within the container. Do not pound down on the mixture with the Hand Blender.
