DO'S AND DON'TS
DO:
•
Use only the line voltage and frequency as specified on the bottom
of the blender.
•
Always operate blender on a clean, dry surface to prevent air from
carrying foreign material or water into the motor.
•
Put liquid portions of recipes into blender container first unless the
instructions in recipes specify otherwise.
•
Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish and seafoods
into pieces no larger, than 3/4" (1.8 cm) to 1" (2.5 cm). Cut all
kinds of cheeses into pieces no larger than 3/4" (1.8 cm).

Use rubber spatula to push ingredients to be chopped into liquid
portion of recipe
ONLY
when motor is
OFF
.
•
Place cover firmly on blender container before starting, and rest
hand on the container cover when starting and running motor.
•
Remove heavy dips and spreads, nut butters, mayonnaise and
products of similar consistency by removing the processing
assembly and pushing the mixture out through the bottom opening
into serving dishes or storage container.

DON'T:
•
DON’T
expect your blender to replace all of your kitchen
appliances. It will not: mash potatoes, whip egg whites or
substitutes for dairy toppings, grind raw meat, knead or mix stiff
dough, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
•
DON’T
process mixtures too long. Remember, the blender
performs its tasks in seconds, not minutes. It is better to stop and
check the consistency after a few seconds than to overblend and
have a mushy or too finely ground product.
•
DON’T
overload the motor with extra-heavy or extra-large loads.
If the motor stalls, turn off immediately, unplug cord from outlet
and remove a portion of the load before beginning again.
•
DON’T
attempt to remove blender container from motor base or
replace it until the motor has coasted to a complete stop. Blender
parts can be damaged.
•
DON’T
remove container cover while processing, as food
spillage can occur. Use feeder cap opening to add ingredients.
•
DON’T
place or store processing assembly on motor base
without first correctly assembling to blender container. Severe
injury can result if blender is accidentally turned on.
•
DON’T
use any utensil, including spatulas, in the container while
the motor is running. They can catch in the moving blades, break
the container and cause severe injury.
•
DON’T
use ANY container not recommended by manufacturer
for processing foods.
Other containers may break or loosen during processing and cause
severe injury.
