TIPS
For thorough blending, add liquid portion of recipe last unless you are blending a powdered mix
with a liquid, add the liquid first and then the powder (e.g. water for soup mix).
Remember: The blender performs its tasks in seconds not minutes. Stop blender and check the
consistency before contents become too fine or over blended.
Do not overtax the blender with extra heavy loads such as stiff dough.
If blending action in container should stop during processing before mixture is smooth, unplug unit
and remove ingredients from blade with rubber spatula. Plug in unit to complete blending.
It may be necessary to stop blending action and remove blade-end from ingredients and reinsert
several times before mixture becomes smooth.
To make beverages icy cold, add one ice cube at a time (up to 6) to an already blended mixture.
Raise and lower blender in a steady motion until ice is crushed.
NOTE:
Your blender is not designed to crush larger quantities of ice.
SPLATTER FREE BLENDING
Avoid lifting unit out of ingredients while motor is on.
To prevent spillage: Fill a container about two thirds full. Suggested containers: Use beaker for
individual servings of drinks and shakes. For larger blending, use mixing bowl or measuring cup
with a 2-cup capacity or larger.
