When activating the variable speed button (2), the processing speed corresponds to the setting of the variable speed regulator. The higher the setting, the faster the chopping results. You can adjust the speed conveniently during operation by turning the speed regulator using your thumb or index finger.

Maximum processing speed is achieved by pressing the turbo button (3). You may also use the turbo button for instant powerful pulses without having to manipulate the speed regulator.

The hand blender is perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise and baby food as well as for mixing drinks and milk shakes. For best blending results use the highest speed.

• Click the motor part (4) into the blender shaft (6).

• Position the hand blender deep in a beaker or bowl. Then switch the appliance on as described above.

• After use unplug and press the release buttons (5) to detach the motor part.

When blending directly in the saucepan while cooking, remove the pan from the stove first to avoid splashing of the boiling liquid (risk of scalding).

Recipe example: Mayonnaise

250 g oil (e.g. sunflower oil), 1 egg and 1 extra egg yolk, 1-2 tbsp. vinegar (approx. 15 g), salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients (at room temperature) into the beaker in the order as mentioned above. Place the hand blender on the bottom of the beaker. Operate the hand blender at maximum speed, keep it in this position until the oil starts emulsifying. Then without switching off slowly raise the shaft to the top of the mixture and back down to incorporate the rest of the oil. Processing time: from 1 minute (for salad) up to 2 minutes for more stiffness (e.g. for dip).

Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating egg whites and mixing sponges and ready-mix desserts.

• Insert the whisk (7b) into the whisk gear box (7a) then click the motor part (4) into the gear box.

• Place the whisk in a bowl and only then switch the appliance on.

• After use, unplug and press the release buttons (5) to detach the motor part. Then pull the whisk out of the gear box.

Tips for best results

• Use a medium-sized bowl.

• Move the whisk clockwise, holding it slightly inclined.

• Whipped cream (max. 400 ml chilled cream, min. 30% fat content, 4–8 °C): Start with low speed and increase the speed (by turning the speed regulator) while whipping.

• Beaten egg whites (max. 4 eggs): Start with a medium speed and increase the speed (by turning the speed regulator) while whipping.

The choppers (9, 10, 11) are perfectly suited for chopping meat, hard cheese, onions, herbs, garlic, carrots, nuts, almonds etc. Always chop hard food at full speed (e.g. parmesan, chocolate).

For best results, see the processing tables below. Maximum operation time for the «hc» chopper: 2 minutes for large amounts of wet ingredients or 30 seconds for dry or hard ingredients or amounts less than 100g. Immediately stop processing when motor speed decreases and/or strong vibrations occur.
