Tips
• In order to produce
a smoother
texture,
blend with CRUSH ICE if you're
making
beverages
using ice.
• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped
or
crushed faster than
large ones.
• Add food
to this Blender pitcher
in
larger quantities
than you would
with
other blenders - you can add 2 to
3 cups (475 to 710 mL) at a time versus
1 cup (235 mL) portions.
• For many ingredient
mixtures,
start the
blending
process at STIR to thoroughly
combine
the ingredients.
Then increase
to a higher
speed, if necessary.
• Be sure to keep lid on pitcher
while
blending
• If desired, remove
center cap of pitcher
lid to add liquids or ice cubes while the
Blender is operating
at STIR, CHOP or
MIX speeds.
• When operating
at higher
speeds with
a full pitcher
or with
hot contents,
stop
the Blender and then add ingredients.
• Stop the Blender before
using utensils
in the pitcher.
Use a rubber
spatula
to
mix ingredients
only when the Blender
is OFE Never use any utensil,
including
spatulas,
in the pitcher while the motor
is running.
• Cool hot foods,
if possible,
before
blending.
Begin blending
warm
foods
at STIR. Increase to higher
speed,
if necessary.
• Remove center
ingredient
cap when
blending
hot liquids and operate
only
on STIR. Do not place bare hand on
pitcher
lid when
processing
hot liquids
• Stop and check the consistency
of foods
after a few seconds to prevent
over-processing.
