BLENDING TIPS AND TRICKS
• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3⁄4" for use in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients,
always add liquid ingredients first.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is
very thick, press the OFF button to turn appliance off. Remove the lid
and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to
redistribute the food, pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid
and continue blending.
• When making bread crumbs make sure blender jar is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function; use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop
rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the Hi Pulse button when preparing beverages that include ice
cubes or anything frozen; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then
increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the OFF button.
• When blending hot ingredients, open the ingredient slot. Cover lid with
a cloth to avoid splattering and only use the lowest speed. Do not blend
more than 21⁄2 to 3 cups at a time.
• Do not store foods in the blending jar.
• Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather
than more).
• Do not run blender for longer than 11⁄2 minutes at a time. Scrape down
sides of blending jar, if necessary, and continue blending.
• Do not use if blending jar is chipped or cracked.
• It is not recommended to use your blender to beat egg whites, mix
dough, mash potatoes, or grind meats.
