Potato masher attachment
• Put potatoes or other food to be mashed in a large bowl or pot. Place the head of the potato masher
into the food. Slightly raise and lower the masher as you move it through the food until it reaches
the texture you require.
N.B.The potato masher is plastic so will not damage non-stick surfaces.
• When using the masher, it is best to use low speed for potatoes, which are starchy and should not
be overworked (the less you process potatoes the better).
• Mashing each section, by using just 1 or 2 up and down motions works best. The high speed can be
used for other root vegetables like turnips and sweet potatoes.
• Mash ingredients when they are hot - they will mash better and more easily.
• Mash vegetables fi rst, then add in the other ingredients, such as milk, butter and seasonings.
5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Always clean the appliance thoroughly after use.
Main unit:
Ensure any attachment has been removed from the unit.
Clean the main unit and charging stand with a sponge or damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive
cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Blending shaft:
Release the attachment from the main unit.
To clean the blending shaft, wash by hand using warm, soapy water or place on the top rack of the
dishwasher.
Warning: Be mindful of the fi xed razor-sharp edges of the blades, they are very sharp and should be
handled carefully to avoid injury.
Whisk attachment:
Release the fully assembled whisk attachment from the main unit.
To clean the whisk attachment, detach the metal whisk from the gearbox by pulling the pieces apart.
To clean the gearbox, simply wipe with a damp cloth. To clean the metal whisk, wash with warm,
soapy water or place on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquids.
Potato masher attachment:
Release the full attachment from the main unit.
To simplify cleaning, rinse the attachment immediately after use so food does not dry on it. With
the gearbox still connected to the attachment, pull the inner blade out slightly from the unit while
turning clockwise to release.
Wash the attachment with warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush if necessary, or place on the top
rack of dishwasher. Do not use any sharp, metal objects. Dry thoroughly and reassemble when ready
to use (see Assembly section). Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquids.
