DO —
1. Use only the line voltage and frequency as specified on the bottom of the Blender.
2. Always operate Blender on a clean, dry surface to prevent air from carrying foreign material
or water into the motor.
3. Put liquid portions of recipes into Blender container first unless the instructions in recipes
specify otherwise.
4. Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish and seafoods into pieces no larger
than 1/4 inch (.6 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm).
5. Use rubber spatula to push ingredients to be chopped into liquid portion of recipe
ONLY when motor is OFF.
6. Place cover firmly on Blender container before starting, and rest hand on the container
cover when starting and running motor.
7. Remove heavy dips and spreads, nut butters, mayonnaise and products of similar
consistency by removing the processing assembly and pushing the mixture out
through the bottom opening into serving dishes or storage container.
8. Pour mixtures if liquid or semi-liquid consistency, such as muffin and cake batters,
from Blender container.
9. Allow cooked vegetables and broth to cool before pouring into Blender container
for processing .
10. Switch to the next higher speed if the motor seems to labour when processing
at one of the lower speeds to prevent overloading of the motor.
DON’T —
1. DON’T expect your Blender to replace all of your kitchen appliances. It will not:
mash potatoes, whip egg whites or substitutes for dairy toppings, grind raw meat,
knead or mix stiff doughs or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
2. DON’T process mixtures too long. Remember, the Blender performs its tasks in seconds,
not minutes. It is better to stop and check the consistency after a few seconds than to
overblend and have a mushy or too-finely ground product.
3. DON’T overload the motor with extra-heavy or extra-large loads. If the motor stalls,
turn off immediately, unplug cord from outlet and remove a portion of the load before
beginning again.
4. DON’T attempt to remove Blender container from motor base or replace it until
the motor has coasted to a complete stop. Blender parts can be damaged.
5. DON’T place or store processing assembly on motor base without first correctly
assembling to Blender container. Severe injury can result if Blender is accidentally
turned on.
6. DON’T use any utensil, including spatulas, in the container while the motor is running.
They can catch in the moving blades, break the container and cause severe injury.
7. DON’T use ANY container not recommended by manufacturer for processing foods.
Other containers may break or loosen during processing and cause severe injury.
8. DON’T process hot foods or liquids in the Blender with filler cap attached.
Hot liquid may spurt out when cover is removed.
