OPERATION

WORKING POSITION

Blender Function

For greater control, we recommend that you hold the bender by the handle and the bottom of the motor unit. Furthermore, we recommend that you tilt the bender at a slight angle to prevent the bell from touching the bottom of the container. Always make sure that the bell is sufficiently immersed to avoid splashing and that the air vents of the motor unit does not come into contact with any liquid. For optimum efficiency, two thirds of the tube should be immersed in the preparation.

Whisk Function

You can also hold the appliance by the handle with one hand, leaving the other hand free to hold the bowl, if necessary. While you process the preparation, we recommend that you move the whisk around in the bowl, in order to ensure that the mixture is completely homogeneous. We strongly advise you to keep the whisk from touching the sides of the bowl. For Maximum efficiency, at least one-fifth of the whisk length should be immersed. But never immerse the whisk holder into the preparation.

CLEANING

Wash, rinse and dry the blending shaft/whisk prior to initial use. Blender blades/shaft/whisk should be cleaned after EVERY use to prevent residue build up around the blade assembly.

1. Remove the stainless steel shaft from the motor head and rinse under running water.
2. Scrub with soap and warm water. Try Noble Chemical Sunbright (147SUNBRIGHT) with warm water for a thorough clean.
3. To ensure the blade is clean, immerse approximately 3/4 of the length of the stainless steel shaft in a container of the washing solution and run for two (2) minutes on high.
4. Allow time for air drying before next use of the immersion blender.
5. Never put the motor unit and its handle in water, clean them with a damp cloth or a sponge.
6. Never immerse the whisk holder in water, clean it with a slightly damp cloth or sponge.
7. It is vital to clean it thoroughly between each job using a detergent or disinfectant, but never use pure bleach. For plastic parts, do not use detergents that are too alkaline.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the machine does not power on and it has been unplugged, release the on-off button, check the power supply and then restart the appliance.

If the machine overheats, release the on-off button, and then unplug the appliance, wait a few minutes for the motor to cool down and the thermal safety mechanism to be reset, and then restart the appliance. If you cannot locate the cause of the problem: release the on off button, unplug the appliance, check below:

1. The plug.
2. The blades are free to rotate in the bell.
3. The state of the power cord.
4. The drive shaft is free to rotate. To do this, remove the bell and test the rotation of the end of drive shaft manually.
