DOs and DON’Ts
WHEN USING YOUR BLENDER
DO:
• Make sure the electrical outlet is rated at the same
voltage as that stated on the bottom of the blender
motor base.
• Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy and dry
surface.
•
Always add liquid ingredients to the blender jar
first, then add remaining ingredients. This will
ensure that ingredients are uniformly mixed.
• Cut most foods into cubes approximately ½ inch
(1.3 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm) to achieve a more
uniform result. Cut all cheeses into pieces no
larger than ½ inch (1.3 cm).
• Use the measured pour lid to measure liquid
ingredients such as alcohol. Replace measured
pour lid after ingredients have been added.
• Use a rubber or plastic spatula as needed, only
when the blender is turned off. Never use metal
utensils, as damage may occur to the blender jar
or cutting assembly.
• Place cover on firmly. Always operate the blender
with the cover on.
• Make sure locking ring is tightly attached to
blender jar.
• Always remove locking ring, cutting assembly, and
rubber gasket before cleaning.
• When scraping the blender jar with a spatula,
remove the food from the sides of the blender jar
and place food in the center of the blender jar,
over the cutting assembly.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest,
bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure the
blender jar and cutting assembly are completely
dry.
• If food tends to stick to the sides of the blender jar
when blending, pulse in short bursts.
• Pulses should be short bursts. Space the pulses
so the blades stop rotating between pulses.
