Using the hand blender
CAUTION, risk of injury:
Do not use your hands to
remove any pieces of food that
become jammed in the blades!
Use a blunt object (e.g. a small
wooden implement) to do this
instead.
• Place the food in the blending
cup (14) or another flat-bottomed
container. Do not start using the
hand blender (1) until it is posi-
tioned inside the container.
Info:
– When using the blending cup:
Do not fill the blending cup to
the brim. During blending, the
liquid in the cup will creep up
the sides and may splash out.
– Tall, narrow containers are
more suitable than flat, wide
ones.
– If using a coated container,
take care not to damage the
coating during blending.
C
To switch it on, first press and
hold down the unlock button (7).
Then, within 2 seconds, press the
power button (8).

pressed during operation.
The hand blender begins to oper-
ate at the highest speed setting.
The LEDs on the LED display (6)
light up (the number that light up
depends on the current battery
level).
Info:
To prevent the hand blender
from overloading, the appliance
will switch off automatically if it
becomes overheated, if a blade
becomes jammed or if the appli-
ance is operated continuously
for more than 4 minutes. After
it switches off, all LEDs flash
slowly. You can then switch the
blender on again and continue
using it.
• Adjust the speed if necessary:
Briefly press the power button.
This reduces the speed.
Info:
The next speed setting after the
lowest speed setting is the high-
est speed setting.
• Release the unlock button to
switch the appliance off.
Displaying the current battery
level
• Briefly press the unlock but-
ton (7).
The number of LEDs that light up
indicates the current battery level.
CLEANING
CAUTION, risk of injury:
– Keep your fingers away from
the buttons to prevent the
appliance from switching on
accidentally.
– The blades on the attach-
ments are very sharp! Never
touch these blades with your
bare hands.
To prevent the accumulation
of food residue, clean the
blender (1) thoroughly after each
use:
• Immerse the blender shaft (3)
of the hand blender in the
blending cup (14) or another
container filled with warm water
and detergent.
• Switch the hand blender on.
Allow it to operate for a short
period in the detergent solution.
• Fill the blending cup or con-
tainer with clean, clear water and
allow the hand blender to operate
in the water for a short period.
• To ensure that all food residue
is removed, detach the blender
attachment (see „Connecting/
replacing an attachment") and
clean it.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe
down the motor unit (2), blender
shaft and charging station (13) if
necessary.
NOTE, risk of damage to the
hand blender:
– Do not use any scouring
agents, abrasive cleansers,
sponges with rough surfaces
or hard brushes.
– The hand blender is not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.
– Do not leave the blender
shaft (3) sitting in liquid for a
long time, as this may cause
discolouration.
• Dry all parts that you have
washed.
