PREPROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS
Using the following functions, the blender is preprogrammed to blend the ingredients
automatically:
• When the preprogrammed cycle is finished the blender will automatically turn off and the
blue power light will turn off.
• To stop any function at any time press the OFF button.
Note: You may need to run the preprogrammed cycle twice or stop before the end of the
cycle depending on task size.
BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾-inch 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
OFF button to turn appliance off. Wait for the blades to stop rotating. 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.
Important: Blender should always have lid in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blending jar on base when motor is running.
• The lid cap holds up to 2 oz. liquid and can be used as a measure and when adding
ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor.
• When making bread crumbs, cookie crumbs or chopping nuts make sure blending jar is
completely dry.
• When using PULSE function use short bursts, no more than 5 seconds at a time. Allow the
blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use pulse for more than 1½ minutes total
time.
• If not using the SMOOTHIE or SHAKE cycles, use the PULSE buttons to begin the blending
process when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother
texture.
• The PULSE functions is helpful when short bursts of power are needed such as when
preparing a power drink.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a higher
speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending, press the OFF button at any time.
• When blending hot ingredients always let them cool at least 5 minutes before blending.
Before beginning to blend, remove the lid cap and put it back with the opened side tilted
away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use lowest speed. Do
not blend more than 2½ to 3 cups at a time.
• DO NOT place any of the following in the blender:
o Dry foods, such as bread, cheese, nuts and coffee beans.
o Large pieces of frozen foods
o Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes
o Bones
ENGLISH
o Hard salami, pepperoni and hard sausages
o Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before placing in blending jar)
• Several other don’ts:
o Do not operate blender without the lid on the blending jar
o Do not store foods in the blending jar.
o Do not overfill the blender. (The blender is more efficient with less rather than
more.)
o Do not put boiling liquids into blender.
o Do not use pulse for more than 5 seconds at a time. Release the PULSE button;
allow the blender to rest briefly, then continue.
o Do not run blender for longer than 1½ minutes at a time. Scrape down sides on
blending jar, if necessary and continue blending.
o Do not use if blender jar is chipped or cracked.
• Tasks not recommended for the blender:
o Whipping cream
o Beating egg whites
o Mixing dough
o Mashing potatoes
o Grinding meats
o Extracting juice from fruits and vegetables
