How to use the appliance Hand blender (see A) The hand blender is perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, soups, mayonnaise and baby food as well as for mixing drinks, smoothies or milk shakes. • Click the motor part (3) onto the blender shaft (5). • Position the hand blender deep in a bowl or beaker. Only then, press switch (1) or (2) to operate. For best blending results use speed «II». • After use, press the release buttons (4) to detach the motor part. When blending directly in a 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 9

Place all ingredients (at room temperature) into the beaker in the order as 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).
