• Don’t fill the beaker more than 2/3rds full.
• After blending you can fit the lid to the top of the beaker.

Note

If no beaker is supplied in your pack, select a suitably sized container. We would recommend a tall, straight-sided vessel with a diameter slightly larger than the foot of the hand blender to allow movement of the ingredients but tall enough to prevent splashing.

for saucepan blending

• For safest use, it is recommended to take the pan off the heat and let hot liquids cool to room temperature before blending.
• Use the soup blender (if supplied) to quickly process soups etc., directly in the saucepan. Alternatively, use the hand blender.
• Do not use the soup blender to process uncooked vegetables.

1. Fit the blender shaft to the power handle 1 – push to lock.
2. Plug in.
3. Place the food into the beaker or a similar container, then hold the beaker steady:
   TYPE HDP30 – press the on button.
   TYPE HDP40 – select the required speed then press the on button. (Select a low speed for slower blending and to minimise splashing and a higher speed or turbo for faster blending).
   • To avoid splashing, place the blade in the food before switching on.
   • Don’t let the liquid get above the joint between the power handle and the blender shaft.
   • Move the blade through the food and use a mashing or stirring action to incorporate the mixture.
   • Your hand blender is not suitable for ice-crushing.
   • If your blender gets blocked, unplug it before clearing.
4. After use release the on or turbo button. Unplug and press the release button 2 to remove the blender shaft from the power handle.
