PROFESSIONAL BLENDING TECHNIQUES

ALL PRODUCT TEMPERATURES

• Use a sufficient amount of liquid to ensure that the mixture is fluid and free-running at all times.
• Pour the liquid into the container FIRST.
• Cut solid ingredients into pieces no larger than 1″ cubes.
• DO NOT blend maximum volume all at once. If making a large recipe, add the ingredients to container in batches.
• DO NOT overfill the container with product. This may prevent the blender from processing the product properly.
• Process dense foods or thick mixtures in small batches, and remember that the volume of the product normally increases during processing.
• Use the filler cap to add liquids to the container while the unit is running.

COLD PRODUCT

• ALWAYS place the cover and filler cap on the container before blending.
• DO NOT use blender to crush large ice cubes. The blender is designed to crush small ice cubes or partially crushed ice for best results.
• The blender takes approximately 30-60 seconds to fully crush ice when using small cubes in combination with a liquid base.
• Chunks of frozen fruit (<1″ cubes) can be added to milk or fruit juice to produce a sherbet or smoothie-style beverage.

• ALWAYS place the cover, but remove the filler cap before blending to prevent pressure buildup inside container.
• DO NOT stand with your face or hands directly over the container when operating the blender where steam may be released.
• ALWAYS begin on 1 – LOW speed and then, if needed, select 2 – HIGH speed to add a column of air in the center of the container.

REPLACING THE KNIFE ASSEMBLY
