Helpful Hints
•
Add ingredients to Blender Container a little at a time to ensure
proper blending and prevent overflow. Never fill Blender
Container more than 3/4 full; the action of the Blade will cause
ingredients to rise in the Container. Make large recipes in several
batches.
•
Place liquid ingredients into the Blender first, unless recipe
instructs otherwise. The liquid will speed processing at a lower
speed.
•
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 secure Lid on Blender Container before operating.
•
Do not remove Blender Container from the Motor Housing when
the motor is running.
•
Thick mixtures require special attention during processing. Turn
Blender off if blending stops or ingredients stick to sides of the
Container. Remove the Lid and, with a rubber spatula, push the
mixture toward the blades. Replace the Lid and continue pro-
cessing. Select a higher speed if processing becomes sluggish.
•
Extra ingredients may be added while blending by removing the
Measuring Cap on top of Lid. Add solids and ice a little at a
time through the hole in the Container Lid. Always cut solid
foods, such as vegetables and cheese, into small chunks before
placing in the Blender Container.
•
To reduce wear on the Blade Assembly, place solid food por-
tions in Blender 1/2 cup at a time. Raw fruits and vegetables as
well as cooked meats should be cut into 1 inch pieces before
processing.
•
Remove thick mixtures easily through bottom of the Blender
Container after removing the Collar and Blade Assembly.
•
Do not store food in Blender.
•
To prevent excessive heat expansion, always remove Measuring
Cap from Lid when processing hot ingredients. Add hot foods
slowly (to a maximum of 2 cups).
•
The blending or processing of foods that are gummy or sticky,
such as fresh ginger is not recommended.
