To avoid splashes, place the hand blender halfway down the preparation then press the start button. At the end of preparation always stop the appliance before taking the hand blender out of the preparation.
Do not use your hand blender in a pan on the hob or to chop nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, etc.), raw meat*, or ice cubes* and do not run it in an empty container. * for models with click and mix accessories, these types of use are possible (see instructions for your hand blender).
The first speed is very useful when you are starting mixing, because it is a slow speed that allows you to avoid splashes. Gradually increase the speed depending on your preparation.
All parts and accessories of your hand blender are dishwasher-safe except for the motor unit and the gears, which you can wipe with a slightly damp sponge.
