the heat first and allow to cool slightly.

Do not tap the mashing head on the side of the pan, use a spatula to remove
any mashed food from the head.

the cooked food and leave for 5 minutes, the residual steam will keep
the food hot.

the attachment into place.

4. Remove the lid from the vegetables and insert the mashing head into
the pan or bowl, pressing the on button, use up and down movements to
mash the food until the desired result is achieved.
5. When finished, release the on button and scrape any mashed food from
the mashing head with a spatula. Turn the mashing head clockwise to
remove the mashing head.
