Special Blending Instructions
Filling the jar
When filling the jar with ingredients, follow
these recommendations:
• Use sufficient amount of liquid to ensure
that the mixture is fluid and free-running
at all times. Pour the liquid into the
jar first.
• Cut solid ingredients into pieces that are
no larger than a 1 ″ cube.
• Add the ingredients to jar in batches. Do
not blend maximum volume all at once.
• Do not overfill the jar with product. This
may prevent the blender from processing
the product properly. Never fill the jar
higher than the top graduation marking,
and remember that the volume of the
product normally increases during
processing.
• Do not exceed 12 cups of content when
blending hot product.
• Always place the cover and dosing cup on
the jar when blending.
Using the dosing cup
Use the dosing cup to add liquids to the
jar while the unit is running. To remove
the dosing cup from the cover, turn the
cap counterclockwise and pull up.
When making mayonnaise, add the oil last
and add it slowly using the dosing cup.
Blending hot mixtures
IMPORTANT: To minimize the possibility of
scalding, the following precautions MUST
be observed:
• Do not exceed 12 cups of content when
blending hot product. Remember that the
volume of the product normally increases
during processing.
• Always place the cover and dosing cup
on the jar when blending.
• Never stand with your face directly over
the jar when operating the blender where
steam may be released.
Speed selection
Select a speed that produces a column of
air in the center of the jar.
When pureeing, start blender on lowest
speed setting and increase speed gradually
as product is blended.
w WARNING
Burn Hazard
Always use caution when blending
hot contents.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in burns.
