Hand blender
(Fig. B)
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 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 a.m. order. 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 stiff-
ness (e.g. for dip).
Whisk
(Fig. B)
Use the whisk only for whipping cream, beating egg whites
and mixing sponges and ready-mix desserts.
• Insert the whisk (8b) into the whisk gear box (8a) 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 (light pressure on the
switch) and increase the speed (more pressure on switch)
while whipping.
• Beaten egg whites (max. 4 eggs): Start with a medium
speed (half way pressure on switch) and increase the speed
(more pressure on switch) while beating.
Using your chopper attachment
The chopper is perfectly suited for chopping meat, cheese,
onions, herbs, garlic, carrots, walnuts, almonds, prunes etc.
N.B.: Do not chop extremely hard food, such as nutmeg,
coffee beans and grains.
Before chopping ...
• pre-cut meat, cheese, onions, garlic, carrots, chilis
(see processing guide S. 5)
• remove stalks from herbs, un-shell nuts
