ActiveBlade Shaft (B) The hand blender is equipped with an ActiveBlade shaft, which enables the knife extend to the bottom of the bell. The adjustment is made automatically by pressure required in blending tasks, especially suited to mix hard foods e.g raw fruits and vegetables. It is also perfectly suited for preparing dips, sauces, salad dressings, soups, baby food, as well as drinks, smoothies and milkshakes. For best results, use the highest speed. Assembly and Operation

• Attach the ActiveBlade shaft (6) to the motor part until it clicks.

• Place the ActiveBlade shaft into the mixture to be blended. Then switch the appliance on as described above.

• Blend ingredients to the desired consistency using a gentle up-and-down motion. Depending on the pressure applied, the ActiveBlade shaft will depress and blade will extend.

• After use, unplug the hand blender and press the release buttons (5) to detach the ActiveBlade shaft. Caution

• Do not let liquids or ingredients overlap the green line of the blending shaft.

• If using the appliance to purée hot food in a saucepan or pot, remove the saucepan or pot from the heat source and ensure the liquid is not boiling. Allow hot food to cool slightly to avoid risk of scalding.

• Do not let the hand blender sit in a hot pan on the cooktop when not in use.

• Do not scratch the ActiveBlade Shaft over the bottom of pans and pots. Recipe Example: Mayonnaise 250 g oil (e.g. sunflower oil), 1 egg and 1 extra egg yolk, 1–2 tbsp. vinegar, Salt and pepper to taste

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

• Place the hand blender at the bottom of the beaker. Blend at maximum speed until the oil starts emulsifying.

• With the hand blender still running, slowly raise the shaft to the top of the mixture and back down to incorporate the rest of the oil. NOTE: Processing time: approx. 1 minute for salads and up to 2 minutes for a thicker mayonnaise (e.g. for dip).
