Tips

Tips
• Blend at HIGH if you're making a large
amount
of beverage using lots of ice. For
smaller quantities,
use MEDIUM.
• 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 LOW 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 LOW speed.
• 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 LOW. Increase to higher speed,
if necessary.
• Remove center ingredient cap when
blending
hot liquids and operate only on
LOW. 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.
