BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾-inch 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.
Important: Blender should always have lid in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blending jar on base when motor is running.
• The lid cap holds up to 1½ oz. liquid and can be used as a measure and when
adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor.
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans make sure
blending 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 Pulse button to begin the blending process when preparing beverages
that include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• The Pulse function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed such as

opened side tilted away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and
only use lowest speed. Do not blend more than 2½ to 3 cups at a time.
