• The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or lattés.
Just warm milk in a small saucepan, and then pulse the hand blender
gently, being sure to keep the blending blade guard fully submerged.
• Do not let hand blender stand in a hot pot on stove while not in use.
• Do not attempt to blend fruit pits, bones or other hard materials as
these are liable to damage the blades.
• Do not fill mixing containers too full. The level of mixture will rise when
blending and can overflow.
• To whip air into a mixture, always hold the blade just under the surface.
• Using a gentle up-and-down motion is the best way to blend and incor-
porate ingredients uniformly.
• Liquid should not come closer than 1-inch of where the shaft attaches
to the motor housing.
FOR WHISK ATTACHMENT
• Do not immerse whisk attachment gearbox in water or any other liquid.
• Use the whisk attachment for beating heavy cream or egg whites.
• When beating egg whites use a very clean metal or glass bowl,
never plastic. Plastic can contain hidden oils and fats that can
ruin the delicate egg white foam. To help stabilize the egg whites,

them. (If using a copper bowl omit the cream of tartar.) Beat the
egg whites until desired peaks form.
• It may also be used for any task that you would normally whisk
by hand, like crêpe batters or eggs for omelets.
• Beating the egg whites too long causes them to dry out and
become less stable.
• When adding sugar to beaten egg whites, add it slowly when soft
peaks just begin to form and then continue beating to form
desired peaks.
• When beating heavy cream, if possible and time allows, use a
chilled bowl and chill the whisk attachment. The best shaped bowl
for whipping cream is one that is deep with a rounded bottom to
minimize any splatter.
• The cream should come out of the refrigerator just before whipping.
Whipped cream may be used at either soft or firm peaks depend-
ing on preference. It may be flavored as desired. For best results,
whip cream just before using.
FOR FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENT
• When making compound butters, remove the butter from the refrigera-
tor and let it come to room temperature before blending the ingredients.
• Do not grind spices in food processor work bowl.
• Liquids in work bowl should not exceed 1½ cups. Use quantities
given in the recipe section as a guide.
