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 removable measuring cup to measure liquid ingredients such as
alcohol. Replace removable measuring cup 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.
• If food sticks to the sides of the blender jar, scrape the jar with a spatula,
removing the food from the sides and place toward the center of the blender
jar over the blade assembly. Pulse to blend.
• When chopping fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest, breadcrumbs, nuts, spices,
etc., make sure the blender jar and cutting assembly are completely dry.
Don’t:
• Don’t store food or liquids in your blender jar.
• Don’t attempt to mash potatoes, knead heavy dough, or beat egg whites.
• Don’t remove blender jar while unit is on. Keep the blender jar cover
on the blender jar while blending.
