Tips for using your hand blender
• Blender attachment: Move the hand
blender gently up and down to obtain
best results.
• Start the hand blender only after the
blender shaft has been placed into the
mixture to be blended.
• Cut food into small pieces to make
blending and chopping easier.
• Do not immerse the motor body in water
or other liquids.
• To incorporate air into the mixture, hold
the blade just under the surface.
• Whisk attachment: When using the
whisk attachment, avoid beating egg
whites for too long as they might dry out
and become less stable.
• Add sugar to beaten egg whites slowly
after the peaks have started to form.
Use
• Potato masher: When using the potato
masher, use a low speed for potatoes as
they are starchy and must not be
overworked. Use a higher speed for
mashing vegetables such as turnips and
sweet potatoes.
• Mash the vegetables while hot.
• Mash the vegetables first and add other
ingredients, such as milk, butter and
seasoning, afterwards.
• Chopper attachment: Do not operate
the chopper without food inside the
bowl.
• Do not overload the chopper bowl.
• Cut food into pieces of the same size to
achieve even results.
• Place the chopper bowl on a flat and
sturdy surface.
• Make sure that the blade is correctly
inserted.
• It is best to chop foods that are not too
hot.
• Some spices may scratch the chopper
bowl.
