1. Never look directly into the blender while the motor is running.
2. Always secure the lid on top of the pitcher when working with hot liquids.
Make sure funnel has been placed in lid to allow for the escape of hot,
expanding gases.
3. Blend no more than 8 ounces of hot liquid at a given time.
4. Always start the blender at low speed and carefully increase the speed.
Ice Drink Instructions
Some of the nicest drinks you can make with your RPM Blender are frozen fruit
drinks. Specific recipes follow, but here are the general instructions.
1. Add ice and frozen fruit pieces. (Ice cream or sherbet may also be added)
2. Add enough liquid, (milk, juice, or water), to cover frozen ingredients.
3. Place lid securely on blender pitcher.
4. Start the motor turning at low speed. You may jog toggle switch on and off
a few times before turning on speed knob.
5. Increase speed gradually as high as necessary to crush the frozen
ingredients.
6. You may use smoothie stick to tamp frozen ingredients into the liquid.
7. Blend for as short a time as possible. Too much blending creates friction
heat that may melt the ingredients.
Tip: You can achieve desired milk shake or ice cream consistency by balancing
the liquid and frozen ingredients.
CAUTION: Allow frozen ingredients, like fruit, to soften slightly if they have
been in a deep freeze. The ideal temperature for blending frozen ingredients is
between 20-25º F.
Smoothie Stick Instructions
The smoothie stick is used when making thick shakes, ice drinks and thick
soups. It helps maintain circulation by pushing ingredients into the blades
and eliminating air pockets. It is designed to prevent contact with the blades.
If circulation stops, angle the smoothie stick to any side of the container and
slightly increase the liquid ingredients. Do not use the smoothie stick when the
container is more than 2/3 full.
Funnel Instructions
This is the lid insert that enables you to add oils and liquids such as vanilla while
the blades are turning. Funnel is also helpful for drizzling oil in a slow steady
stream when making mayonnaise.
Grinding Coffee Beans and Nuts
Your RPM Blender will grind coffee beans, all nuts, and seeds. For small seeds
such as sesame or flax (linseed) seeds, add only enough seeds to come up to
the blades. Try not to cover the blades. Excessive amounts of small seeds can
stress your blender. For coffee beans or large nuts such as cashews, add one
cup at a time. Place the fully closed lid on the pitcher and begin by blending at
half speed. Increase speed as necessary.
