Assembly

ATTACHING THE SHAFT TO THE MOTOR UNIT

2. Insert the threaded section of the shaft into the housing of the motor unit.
3. Turn the shaft until it is locked into place moderately tightly.

Cleaning
The equipment must be clean at all stages of production. It is vital to clean all parts of the immersion blender between each job using a detergent or disinfectant.

WARNING: Always unplug your appliance before cleaning it.
WARNING: Check that your detergent is suitable for cleaning plastic parts. Some washing agents are too alkaline (e.g. high levels of caustic soda or ammonia) and totally incompatible with certain types of plastic, causing them to deteriorate rapidly.
WARNING: NEVER immerse the motor unit or its handle in water.
NOTE: After completion of preparation, clean immediately to prevent food from sticking to surfaces.
NOTE: After using the immersion blender in a hot preparation, cool the bottom of the foot in cold water
before dismantling.

Maintenance

• Before every use inspect the power cord to make sure it is undamaged.

• Routinely check the state of all watertight membranes and seals.
  Even the slightest cracks will allow liquid to seep in.

• Routinely check the state of the blender housing. This should not show any signs of cracking which would allow access to the live components within.

• Routinely check the condition of the blade. If performance begins to decline, the blade, as well as the washer and watertight seals around it, should be replaced. Be careful when inspecting the blade as it is very sharp.
