The Chefman Immersion Stick Hand Blender features two speed settings for versatile blending.

1. Prepare your ingredients and place them in a suitable container (pot, bowl, or pitcher).

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Chefman Immersion Stick Hand Blender, please review the following common solutions:

• Blender does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the blending shaft is correctly attached to the motor unit.
• Blender stops during operation: The appliance may have overheated. Unplug it and let it cool down for at least 10-15 minutes before attempting to use it again. Ensure you are not operating it continuously for extended periods.
• Ineffective blending: Ensure the blade guard is fully submerged in the ingredients. For thicker mixtures, add more liquid. For very hard ingredients, use the "HI" setting and pulse.
