ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION
Avoid Electric Shock
This appliance has a polarized plug with one blade wider than the other.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet completely, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt
to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
Your Calphalon immersion blender has a short power supply cord as a
safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting
from becoming entangled with a longer cord. Do not allow children to be
near this appliance without adult supervision. Longer detachable extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
Blending Wand
Step 1: MAKE SURE BLENDER IS UNPLUGGED
Step 2: ATTACH MAIN BODY TO BLENDING WAND
Be sure attachment is fully engaged to the main body by rotating the
attachment clockwise until the units click together. The tick mark on the
wand should be lined up with the line on the side of the main body.
Step 3: ADD NONSTICK SAFE GUARD ATTACHMENT (Optional)
Attach the nonstick safe guard attachment to prevent damage while
blending in nonstick pans.
To attach, align the nonstick safe guard and the opening at the end of
the blending wand (near the blade), being careful not to touch the blade.
Slowly press the nonstick safe guard onto the end of the blending wand.
To detach, push in both tabs of the nonstick safe guard and slowly pull
it off of the blending wand, being careful not to place fingers inside the
blade housing. The nonstick safe guard is dishwasher safe, or can be hand
washed.
Step 4: PLACE INGREDIENTS IN MIXING BOWL
Choose a deep mixing bowl or container. Mixture will swell slightly as it
mixes, especially on higher speed settings, so allow extra room in the mixing
bowl to prevent spatters.
Step 5: INSERT THE POWER PLUG
Choose a suitable electrical outlet by referring to Electrical
Requirements on page 4.

CLEANING AND CARE
Before Cleaning
• Before disconnecting the blending wand or whisk from the electrical
outlet, consider dipping the end of the attachments in a container of
warm, watered down mild detergent. Process under the soapy water to
release food residue.
• Carefully unplug the immersion blender’s power cord from the electrical
outlet by firmly grasping the plug.
• Remove any food from the chopper bowl and clean as soon as possible
after chopping.
Do Not Immerse These Parts
Never immerse the main body, chopper lid, whisk housing, cord or plug
in water. If needed, wipe with a damp cloth that has been dipped in a
watered down mild detergent or soap.
Tips for Cleaning the Immersion Blender
• The blending wand, chopper bowl and blade, mixing cup, nonstick safe
guard and whisk (detached from housing) are top rack dishwasher safe.
• The chopper lid and whisk housing are not dishwasher safe and should
never be put in the dishwasher.
• If the blender joints accidently get wet, dry well as soon as possible.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service
representative.
STORAGE
The cord wraps around the immersion blender for storage. Store the
chopper blade inside the chopper bowl. NOTE: Blades are sharp. Handle
carefully when storing or taking out the parts from the chopper bowl.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know which attachment to use? Think about the texture
and consistency you are trying to achieve. The chopper will cut food into
small bits. The blending wand purees foods until they are smooth, and
the whisk beats air into ingredients such as egg whites or cream. Refer to
Choosing an Attachment on page 6 for more information.
When using my own mixing bowl, how will I know when the
volume of mixture might be too large? The tip of the hand blender
or whisk should be able to rest on the bottom of the bowl without the food
mixture coming up over the joint on the attachment. This protects the joint
from being exposed to moisture.
I accidentally overstuffed my chopper and now the blade is
jammed and will not move. What should I do? Remove the plug
from the electrical outlet. Carefully remove blade and empty food from
container. Replace blade and fill container back with food. Discontinue
use if the immersion blender stops operating. Contact Calphalon
Customer Service at 1-800-809-7267 for examination, repair or
adjustment.

Pinch of salt
¼ c. confectioners’ sugar

For the crust –
1 c. crushed ginger snap cookie crumbs

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
For the filling –
8 large egg yolks
¾ c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
Zest of 2 lemons
2/3 c. fresh lemon juice, strained
¼ c. fresh tangerine or orange juice, strained
8 Tbsp. butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
¾ c. heavy cream
Method:
For crust, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-inch pie pan. In
a mixing bowl, combine crumbs, sugar and butter. Transfer crumb mixture to
pie pan and firmly press mixture into bottom and up the sides of pie pan. Bake
for 8 to 10 minutes and cool before filling.
To make filling, bring about 2-inches of water to a simmer in a large saucepan.
Place egg yolks in a heatproof bowl (that will fit into the saucepan, but not
touch the water) and whisk them until smooth. Gradually whisk in the sugar
and beat until mixture is creamy. Add salt, zest, and juices and mix until
smooth. Place bowl over the simmering water and whisk mixture by hand until
it is very thick, about 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a
spoon. Carefully remove bowl from heat. Whisk in butter and continue to stir
until butter is fully incorporated. Strain filling, cover and chill until cold, about
1 hour. Pour heavy cream into the Calphalon measuring cup, using Calphalon
3-in-1 Immersion Blender with whisk attachment, beat cream on low speed
for about 20 seconds or until fully whipped. Fold cream into cooled lemon
filling and spoon mixture into prepared piecrust.
For meringue, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Add egg whites to the
Calphalon measuring cup, using the whisk attachment, beat egg whites
on medium speed until foamy. Add confectioners’ sugar and beat on low
speed for 1 minute. Transfer egg mixture to a large bowl. Using low speed,
gradually add granulated sugar. Increase speed to high and beat for
3 minutes or until appropriate consistency is reached. The meringue should be
very thick and hold a firm peak. Either pipe or spread meringue over lemon
filling. Bake pie on middle rack of oven for 8 to 12 minutes or until meringue is
golden brown. Transfer pie to a wire rack and cool completely. Chill pie for 2
hours before serving. This pie is best served the day it is prepared.
