• Smaller quantities, thinner mixes, and more liquids than solids suggest shorter timings and higher
speeds.
THE WAND
• Generally, the wand can do anything a normal blender can do, but faster, and with less washing up
– make mayonnaise, milkshakes, smoothies, or fruit drinks in the beaker. You can blend, pulp or purée
ingredients in the pan or bowl you’re going to cook them in.
• Whatever container you use, make sure it’s on a stable, flat surface, and support it with your free
hand, to prevent it wandering over the work surface.
• Don’t immerse the wand past the top of the parallel-sided tube.
• When using it in hot liquids, don’t let the blade break the surface at an angle, as you might spray
liquid outside the bowl/pan/container.
• Don’t switch on till the blade is inside the food container.
• Switch off before lifting the blade from the food container.
THE WHISK
1. Push the whisk into the bottom of the whisk holder.
2. To remove the whisk, simply pull it out of the bottom of the whisk holder.
• Don’t immerse the whisk past the bottom of the whisk holder.
THE CHOPPER
You can use the chopper as a mini food processor.
1. Hold the plastic part of the chopper – keep your fingers well clear of the blade.
2. Lower it into the bowl, over the spindle in the bottom of the bowl.
3. Add the ingredients – don’t fill the bowl above the 700ml mark.
4. Fit the bowl lid – the top of the chopper fits into the drive in the underside of the lid.
5. Fit the handle to the top of the bowl lid.
6. Use the chopper in bursts of a few seconds, otherwise you risk overdoing it.
7. Unplug the handle, then remove the handle from the lid.
8. Lift the lid gently from the bowl – take care that any drips fall into the bowl.
9. Lift the chopper only by the plastic part.
BEAKER
• Don’t fill the beaker more than about half full.
• Sit it on a stable, flat work surface, and support it with your free hand.
• Don’t lift it off the work surface and hold it in your hand – if it slips, you’ll hurt yourself.
• For storage, you may use the non-slip base as a lid.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. Switch the appliance off, and unplug it.
2. Take great care with the blades – don’t handle them directly, use a nylon washing-up brush.
3. Wipe the handle surfaces with a soft damp cloth.
4. Clean the blade end of the wand in hot soapy water, with a nylon brush.
5. Wash the whisk, chopper, bowl, and beaker in warm soapy water.
6. Wipe the whisk holder and bowl lid with a damp cloth. Try to keep them dry, as they contain the
gearboxes for the whisk and bowl.
` You can wash these parts in a dishwasher.
