Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your immersion blender.
- Prepare Ingredients: Place ingredients to be blended into a suitable container. Ensure the container is deep enough to prevent splashing and that the liquid level is below the maximum capacity mark on the shaft.
- Immerse Blender: Submerge the blending shaft into the ingredients before starting the motor.
- Start Operation: To activate the blender, simultaneously press and hold the Safety Button (located on top of the handle) and the ON/OFF Switch Button (on the side of the handle). Release the safety button once the blender starts.

- Continuous Operation (Lock Function): For extended blending tasks, press the Lock Button (on the handle) while the blender is running. This will keep the blender operating without needing to hold the ON/OFF switch. Press the ON/OFF switch again to release the lock and stop the blender.
- Blending Technique: Move the blender up and down gently through the ingredients to ensure even blending.
- Stop Operation: Release the ON/OFF switch button (or press it again if the lock function is engaged) and wait for the blade to stop completely before removing the shaft from the ingredients.
