Product Information
Full details
The Basilico 700W Hand Blender Set is designed for home cooks seeking a versatile and compact kitchen tool. Its key benefit is offering multiple functionalities, including blending, chopping, whisking, and puréeing, without the counter space demands of a full food processor. A potential caveat is its 700W motor, which may be less powerful for extremely tough tasks compared to higher wattage models. This 4-in-1 set features a 700W motor, two speed settings, durable stainless steel blades, and comes with a 600ml beaker, a 500ml chopper, and a whisk, all of which are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

FAQs
Can I blend hot liquids directly in a pot?
Yes, you can use the hand blender wand to blend hot liquids directly in a pot. However, be cautious of steam and avoid filling the pot to the brim to prevent splashing.
What is the maximum capacity of the chopper bowl?
The chopper bowl has a capacity of 500ml.
Are all the attachments dishwasher safe?
Yes, the 600ml beaker, 500ml chopper, and whisk attachment are all dishwasher safe.
Can this hand blender crush ice?
The 700W motor and stainless steel blades are designed for blending and chopping soft to semi-hard ingredients. It is not recommended for crushing ice or other very hard frozen items, as this may damage the blades or motor.
How long should I blend or chop at one time?
It is recommended to operate the hand blender in short bursts, typically no longer than 1-2 minutes at a time, followed by a brief cooling period for the motor.
What should I do if the blender seems to be losing power?
Ensure the appliance is properly plugged in and that the accessory is correctly attached. Check if the ingredients are too hard or if the bowl is overloaded. Allow the motor to cool down if it has been running for an extended period.
Troubleshooting
Appliance does not turn on
Ensure the appliance is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check that the accessory is properly attached to the motor unit.
Blades are not spinning effectively
Ensure the food is cut into smaller pieces, especially if using the chopper. Do not overload the chopper bowl. Check that the motor unit is correctly engaged with the accessory.
Motor unit becomes excessively hot
Discontinue use and allow the motor unit to cool down. Avoid running the blender continuously for extended periods (over 1-2 minutes at a time). Ensure there are no blockages causing the motor to work too hard.
Uneven blending or chopping
Ensure ingredients are cut into reasonably uniform sizes. Do not overfill the beaker or chopper bowl. For blending, add sufficient liquid. For chopping, pulse rather than continuously running the motor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure all parts are clean before first use. Attach the desired accessory (blender wand, chopper, or whisk) securely to the motor unit by aligning the connection points and twisting until it locks. Plug the appliance into a suitable power outlet.
Compatibility: This hand blender is designed for use with standard household electrical outlets. It is suitable for blending hot and cold liquids and soft to semi-hard solid ingredients. Avoid using the blender wand for extremely hard ingredients like ice cubes or frozen fruits without liquid, as this may strain the motor.
Care: After each use, unplug the appliance. Detach the accessories from the motor unit. The blender wand, chopper bowl, whisk, and beaker are all dishwasher safe and can be cleaned on the top rack of your dishwasher. The motor unit itself should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth; never immerse it in water or any other liquid. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing.
