How to Clean Your Hand Blender
Unplug. CAUTION: Never put motor-end of unit in water, other liquid, or place
in the dishwasher.
1. For easy cleaning, place blade-end
of unit under hot, running water
immediately after blending is
completed.
2. Wipe motor-end of handle with a
damp cloth or sponge.
Tips
• For thorough blending, add liquid portion
of recipe last (such as milk to ice cream for
a milk shake). Exception: When blending a
powdered mix with a liquid, add liquid first
and then powder (such as milk for a diet
drink or water for a soup mix).
• When processing bread, cracker and
cookie crumbs or chopping nuts, use a
covered container.
• Cut all solids (cooked meats, vegetables
and fruit) into approximately 1-inch pieces
before blending.
• Remember: The blender performs its tasks
in seconds – not minutes. Stop blender and
check the consistency before contents
become too fine or overblended.
• Do not overtax the motor with extra-heavy
loads such as stiff dough, cream cheese
dips or butter.
• If blending action in container should stop
during processing before mixture is
smooth, unplug unit and remove
ingredients from blade with rubber
spatula. Plug in unit to complete blending.
• It may be necessary to stop blending action
and remove blade-end from ingredients
and reinsert several times before mixture
becomes smooth.
• To make beverages icy cold, add one ice
cube at a time (up to 6) to an already-
blended mixture. Raise and lower blender
in a steady motion until ice is crushed.
NOTE: Your blender is not designed to
crush larger quantities of ice.

SPLATTER-FREE BLENDING TIPS
1. Avoid lifting unit out of ingredients while
motor is on.
2. To prevent spillage: Fill a container about
two-thirds full. Suggested containers: Use
included beaker for individual servings of
drinks or shakes. For larger blending, use
mixing bowl or measuring cup with a 2-cup
capacity or larger.
3. When processing dry ingredients, use the
chopper attachment, large cup or bowl.
Make sure container is large enough to
allow for free movement of ingredients
during blending.
