USING YOUR BLENDER

Important: Appliance should always have lid in place when in use.

BLENDING TIPS AND TRICKS

• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾” 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 th 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.

• When making bread crumbs make sure blender 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.

• 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 OFF button.

• Do not store foods in the blending jar.

• Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather than more).

• Do not run blender for longer than 1 ½ minutes at a time. Scrape down sides of blending jar, if necessary, and continue blending

• Do not use if blending jar is chipped or cracked.

• It is not recommended to use your blender to beat egg whites, mix dough, mash potatoes, or grind meats
