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 OFF 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: Blender should always have lid in place when in use.
  • Caution: Do not place blending jar on base when motor is running.
• The lid cap holds up to 1 oz. liquid and can be used as a measure and when addinq ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor (E).
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans make sure blending jar is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use pulse for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the PULSE 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, press the OFF button at any time
• When blending hot liquids always let them cool at least 5 minutes before blending. Before beginning to blend, remove the lid cap and put it back with the opened side tilted away from you.
