HELPFUL HINTS
• It only takes seconds to perform a function, not minutes. Stop the blender after several
seconds to check the results. This will help avoid over-processing.
• Always place lid over container before blending and hold in place.
• Place liquid ingredients into the blender first, unless recipe instructs otherwise.
• Extra ingredients may be added while blending by removing cap on top of lid.
• Shut blender off if blending stops or ingredients stick to the container. Remove the lid
and, with a rubber spatula, push the mixture toward the blades. Place lid back on top
of the container and resume blending.
• Do not place any utensil in the container - spoon, spatula, knife, etc.- while blender is
in operation.
• To reduce wear on the cutting blade assembly, place solid food portions in blender
1/2 cup at a time. Raw fruits and vegetables or cooked meats should be cut in 1/2" or
3/4" (1.27cm or 1.91cm) pieces before blending.
• Remove thick mixtures easily through bottom of the container after removing the
cutting blade assembly.
• Do not store food in the container.
• When recipes require different speeds for different blend ingredients, blend a portion
at a time.
• When crushing ice, add only one cube at a time. Blend ice only when liquid is in the
container.
• Always lift container out of base to prevent it from unscrewing from the blade
assembly. Grasp collar and handle to avoid content spillage.
