8. Getting started

The stick blender is suitable for the following applications

chopping and puréeing fruit and vegetables in soups, sauces and dips

mixing drinks

making milkshakes
It is recommended that you adjust the speed of the stick blender to the food you are
processing. Use normal speed for soft foods and the TURBO speed for harder foods.
If possible, put the food you wish to chop in a tall, narrow container with a flat bottom. This is perfect to
achieve even puréeing results. Of course, you can also use the stick blender in a normal saucepan.
In order to avoid injuries from the rotating blades, only switch the stick blender on once the purée
attachment (4) is in the food.
Mix or purée your food as follows:

Put the food to be processed in a suitable container or saucepan.

Place the purée attachment (4) into the food vertically.

Start the stick blender using one of the On switches (1) or (2) depending on your requirements and
keep the selected button pressed while mixing or puréeing. If the purée attachment (4) sticks to the
bottom of the container, release the button briefly and then continue mixing.

To ensure even processing of the mix, move the stick blender gently backwards and forwards.

When you have the results you require, release the On switch (1) or (2) while the purée attachment (4)
is still in the mixture.

Wait until the blades have stopped moving before removing the purée attachment (4) from the puréed
food.

9. Cleaning

Warning about damaging the unit! Do not use abrasive or astringent detergents or
tools which could scratch the surface (e.g. metal sponges). Otherwise you could damage the
stick blender.
It is recommended that you clean the purée attachment (4) right after you use it to avoid the
food drying on it. Rinse the purée attachment (4) off straight-away with cold water, especially
if you have been processing very salty foods.

Unplug the mains plug from the wall socket.

Remove the purée attachment (4) from the motor unit (3).

Clean the motor unit (3) with a slightly damp cloth and then dry it carefully.

The purée attachment (4) can be washed up in water. After use, rinse it with plenty of clean water to
remove food residues. Then dry it carefully.

Alternatively, the purée attachment (4) can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
