GENERAL TIPS FOR
USING THE PROCESSOR
• Organize processing tasks to avoid
multiple cleanups of the bowl; process dry
before wet.
• Do not process foods that are so frozen
or hard that the tip of a knife cannot be
inserted into the food.
• If a piece of hard food, such as a carrot,
becomes wedged or stuck on the blade,
stop the processor and unplug, then
remove the blade. Gently remove food
from the blade.
• Do not use the processor to:
- Grind coffee beans, bones, grains or
hard spices
- Slice or chop warm meat
USING THE BLENDER
Important: Appliance should always
have lid in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blender jar onto
base when motor is running.
1. Place motor base on a flat stable
surface
2. Lower the blender jar on to the motor
unit, then turn the jar clockwise, to
lock it in place.
3. Make sure blender is OFF and place
ingredients to be blended into jar. For
best results and the most efficient
blend, place ingredients in the jar in
the following order:
a. Liquids
b. Powders
c. Soft foods
d. Hard foods
e. Ice
4. Place the lid on the jar: Align the pips
on the cap with the slots in the hole in
the lid, fit the cap, and turn it
clockwise to lock it.
5. Plug power cord into outlet.
Note: When in use, do not leave blender
unattended. When using hard foods,
such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on
the lid to keep blender in place.
6. Select the speed that best suits your
desired task. (See SPEED CHART)
7. When blending thick mixtures such as
smoothies and milkshakes, PULSE for
several seconds, then release. Repeat
until food has desired consistency.
Note: Use PULSE for no more than five
seconds at a time, allowing the blender
to rest briefly between each pulse,
no more than two minutes total. This
helps break up the ice and distribute
the ingredients.
8. To add ingredients while the blender
is working, remove the cap, pour the
new ingredients through the hole,
then replace the cap.
Important: Do not remove the lid while
the blender is running.
9. When finished, turn the control dial
to OFF (0).
10. To remove the blender jar, turn the
blender jar counter-clockwise, and lift
it off the motor unit.
11. Remove lid to pour.
12. Always unplug the appliance when
not in use.
