BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3⁄4" 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
ON/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.
• When making bread crumbs or blending dry goods, make sure blending jar and blade
assembly are completely dry.
• The PULSE/ICE CRUSH function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed, such
as when preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes. Do not use pulse for more than 10
seconds at a time. Release the PULSE/ICE CRUSH button regularly, allow the blender to
rest briefly, then continue.
• Do not run blender for longer than 1 ½ minutes at a time.
• Do not use if blender jar is chipped or cracked.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a
higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the ON/OFF button.
• Always operate the blender with the lid on the jar.
• Do not store foods in the blending jar.
• Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather than more).
