ASSEMBLY & OPERATION 
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging material and 
promotional labels. Remove the blending shaft 
from the motor body and wash it in warm 
soapy water (follow the instructions on page 
10 “To detach the blending shaft”). Rinse 
and dry thoroughly. Ensure no water remains 
inside the blending shaft to avoid water 
running into the motor body when reattached.
Disassemble and wash the chopping 
blade, chopping bowl, chopping bowl lid, 
storage lid and blending jug in warm soapy 
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure 
no water remains in the chopping bowl lid 
attachment to avoid water running into the 
motor body when reattached.
NOTE
The detachable blending shaft, 
chopping bowl, chopping blade, 
blending jug and dual purpose storage 
lid/anti-slip mat can also be washed in 
the dishwasher. The chopping bowl lid 
is not dishwasher safe – see the care 
and cleaning section of this booklet for 
cleaning instructions of these parts.
This stick blender is a versatile appliance 
that can be attached to:
•  The stainless steel blending shaft– for 
use as a stick blender
•  The chopping bowl with chopping blade 
and lid – for use as a mini chopper
STICK BLENDER 
TO ATTACH THE BLENDING SHAFT
Hold the blending shaft with the blades 
down, and align the top end of the blending 
shaft with the corresponding end of the 
motor body and push until the blending 
shaft ‘clicks’ and locks onto the motor body.
Always ensure blending shaft is dry with no 
water left inside before reattaching.
TO USE AS A STICK BLENDER
Ensure the blending shaft is assembled to 
the motor body as detailed above.
1.  Place food to be processed into the 
blending jug provided (or a sufficiently 
large mixing bowl or saucepan). The jug 
provided should only be ½ full or less 
when blending liquids or when making a 
puree of fruit and/or vegetables.
2.  Insert the plug into a 110/120V 
power outlet.
3.  By turning the speed control dial at 
the top of motor body, select a speed 
between 'LOW' and 'HIGH'. 
NOTE
If selecting 'HIGH' speed, it is 
recommended that you start with 
'LOW' speed and then increase to 
'HIGH' speed to avoid splattering and 
over processing.
4.  Place the blending shaft as deeply as 
possible into the blending jug and 
press the trigger switch to turn the stick 
blender on. The button must be held for 
the required duration of operation.
