GENERAL
•
For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup
(8 ounces/237 ml).
•
For thick smoothies or purees that are not blending well, incorporating a small amount
of additional liquid may be all that is necessary to improve the results. Start by adding
a ¼ cup (59 ml).
•
To add foods when blender is operating, remove emulsion cap assembly and add
ingredients through the opening.
•
Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
•
Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or at any time.
•
Cutting large whole fruits and vegetables may allow them to blend more quickly.
•
Do not fill blender jar past highest graduation marking.
•
Blender jar material is susceptible to impacts with hard ingredients, such as nuts, seeds,
grains, and kernels, which may result in minor impact marks or the appearance of being
cloudy. These are aesthetic issues and will not affect future blending performance.
•
If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of the jar, insert
tamper to help move the mixture around or add more liquid to the blender jar.
USING THE TAMPER:
•
Tamper is included with full-size blender and can be used with this blender jar.
•
When blending very thick or frozen mixtures, such as peanut butter or sorbet, air
pockets may occasionally form due to the high speed of the blades, which can
cause ingredients to stop blending. This is called cavitation. If cavitation occurs, use
the tamper to push the ingredients towards the blade. The tamper is designed to
fit perfectly inside the opening in the jar
’
s lid so it may be used while the blender is
running. It will not touch the blade. ONLY use the tamper with the jar lid in place.
1. Remove emulsion cap assembly. Insert tamper through hole in blender lid.
2. Blender jar should not be more than two-thirds full when the tamper is used during
blending.
3. Do not use tamper with hot liquids.
4. If needed to help ingredients circulate, point the tamper toward the sides or corners
of the container. Do not try to force the tamper deeper into the container and closer
to the blades.
PREVENTING OVERLOADING:
•
Do not process recipes at lower speeds or higher speeds than recommended.
•
Do not process recipes longer than recommended.
