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 PULSE/OFF (P/0) button to turn appliance off. 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: Appliance should always have lid in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blender jar onto base when motor is running.
• The lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be used
as a measure when adding ingredients such as juices,
milk, cream and liquor (E).
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or
grinding coffee beans, make sure blender jar is
completely dry.
• When using PULSE (P) function, use short bursts. Allow
the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use
PULSE (P) for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the PULSE/OFF (P/0) button to begin the blending process when preparing
beverages that include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• The PULSE function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed, such as
when preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes, chopping nuts or grinding coffee
beans.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then
increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the PULSE/OFF (P/0) button.
• When blending hot ingredients, always open the lid
cap and replace it ajar with the opened side away
from you. Cover lid with a cloth to avoid splattering
and only use the lowest speed. Do not blend more
than 2½ to 3 cups at a time (F).
• DO NOT place any of the following in the blender:
Large pieces of frozen foods
Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes
Bones
Hard salami, pepperoni
Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before placing in blender jar)
• Several other DONT'S:
Do not operate blender without the lid on the blender jar.
Do not store foods in the blender jar.
Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather
than more).
Do not put boiling liquids into blender.
Do not use PULSE (P) for more than 10 seconds at a time; release the PULSE/
OFF (P/0) button regularly, allow the blender to rest briefly, then continue.
Do not run blender for longer than 1½ minutes at a time. Scrape down sides
of blender jar, if necessary, and continue blending.
Do not use if blender jar is chipped or cracked.
• Tasks NOT recommended for the blender:
Whipping cream
Beating egg whites
Mixing dough
Mashing potatoes
Grinding meats
