BLENDER TIPS
SMOOTHIE ( ):
• The SMOOTHIE setting was designed for pourable beverages made with liquid, fruits or
vegetables, and a frozen component (ice or frozen fruit). For best results when using the
SMOOTHIE setting, add liquids first, then ingredients from softer to harder. Add frozen
ingredients and ice last. To achieve a pourable consistency and to keep the blender
running smoothly, the following guidelines should be used:
1. Ideally there should be 1½ cups (355 ml) liquid for every 2 cups (473 ml) of ice or
frozen fruit. A higher ratio of frozen ingredients may cause cavitation. Use the tamper
to push ingredients toward the blade during the cycle if needed.
2. For best results, use at least 1 cup (237 ml) of liquid for every 1 cup (237 ml) of leafy
greens. If using a larger quantity of leafy greens, after blending on the SMOOTHIE
setting, you may want to blend 20 seconds longer on high speed to achieve an extra
silky smoothie or use the MANUAL setting to blend to your desired consistency.
Juicy fresh fruits such as grapes, oranges, strawberries, pineapple and melons are
considered as a liquid for purposes of achieving the proper ratio of liquids to frozen
ingredients or leafy greens.
ICE CRUSH ( ):
• Different types of ice may require different methods of crushing depending on the
quantity of ice.
•
To crush the crescent-shaped ice produced by most home ice-makers and the cube-
shaped ice made in trays, make sure the blender jar is dry, add no more than 5 cups
(1.2 L) of ice and run the ICE CRUSH cycle. This will produce a dry, fluffy ice, perfect for
snow cones.
• Ice produced by undercounter or commercial ice machines and bagged ice is wetter and
requires a different method. To crush wet ice, fill the blender jar with the desired amount
of ice. It can be filled to the 7-cup capacity line. Next, add water to the blender jar until
the ice floats above the blades. Run the ICE CRUSH cycle. Drain off excess water. This
will produce a wet ice that is perfect for frozen drinks. Wet ice may also be crushed
without using water if the blender is filled with no more than 4 cups (946 ml) of ice.
PUREE ( ):
•
The PUREE setting is best used to achieve a smooth consistency when blending cooked
or soft fruits and vegetables, for making creamy dips such as hummus, and for grinding
grains.
•
Blend fresh whole juices (without frozen ingredients) on the PUREE setting for best
results.
SOUP ( ):
• Do not blend more than 6 cups (1420 ml) on this program.
•
When making soups, start with cold or room-temperature ingredients.
• Emulsion cap assembly can be kept in lid.
• Do not operate SOUP mode in continuous cycles. Allow to cool to room temperature
after each cycle.
