WHISK
To clean the whisk attachment, simply release the attachment
from the power handle. Once the whisk is removed, 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 put in the dishwasher.
Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquids.
TIPS AND HINTS
FOR HAND BLENDER
• Be sure the protective blade guard on the blending shaft is fully
submerged before blending ingredients.
• To purée a soup, use the hand blender to blend the soup ingredients
to the desired consistency, using a gentle up-and-down motion
directly in the saucepan or pot.
• When blending ingredients in a pot or pan, tilt the pan away from
you to create a deeper area for blending and to prevent splatter.
• If blending a small volume of liquid, tilt the container slightly for
better results.
• When using a nonstick cooking surface, be careful not to scratch
the coating with the hand blender.
• When blending in the beaker – for example, if making a fruit
smoothie – cut firmer fruit into ½-inch pieces for easy blending.
• When blending in the beaker, put harder ingredients in first, then soft
ingredients. Finish with any liquid you want to add, unless recipe
instructs otherwise.
• Liquid should not come closer than 1 inch of where the shaft
attaches to the power handle.
• The hand blender is perfect for frothing milk for cappuccino or
lattes. 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 likely 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
incorporate ingredients uniformly.
• Use the hand blender to make smooth gravies and pan sauces.
• Do not immerse power handle in water or any other liquids.
