The BELLA Rocket Blender 12 Piece Set is a versatile kitchen appliance designed for blending, chopping, mixing, and grinding various food items. This instruction manual and recipe guide provides comprehensive information on its operation, maintenance, and a collection of recipes to help users make the most of their blender.

Function Description:

The Rocket Blender serves as a multi-purpose food processor, capable of handling a range of tasks from creating savory sauces and dressings to preparing smoothies, soups, and even grinding coffee. It's designed for quick and easy food preparation, allowing users to achieve desired consistencies in minutes. The set includes different cups and blades tailored for specific functions, ensuring optimal results for blending, grinding, and shaking.

Important Technical Specifications:

Power: The appliance operates on a 120 V AC electrical outlet. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances to avoid overloading.
Capacity: The tall blending cup has a maximum capacity of 13.5 oz./399 ml. The small grinding cup has a maximum capacity of 6 oz./175 ml.
Blades: The set includes a blending blade (cross blade) for blending, chopping, and mixing, and a grinding blade (flat blade) for grinding or whipping. Both blades feature a plastic gasket seal in their collar for an airtight fit.
Safety Features: The blender has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) to reduce the risk of electric shock. It will not operate unless the three locking tabs on the blade collar are properly fitted into the three slots on the motor base.
Construction: The processing cups and lids are made from materials that are top-rack dishwasher safe. The motor base is designed to be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Usage Features:

Easy Assembly: The blender is designed for straightforward assembly. Users place food into the desired processing cup (tall blending or small grinding), attach the appropriate blade (blending or grinding) by twisting the blade collar clockwise until snug, and then invert the assembly to insert it into the motor base, ensuring the locking tabs align.
Simple Operation: To operate, the processing cup is turned clockwise into the motor base and pressed down on the top of the cup. The blender will run until pressure is released. For pulsing, users simply press down and release in short bursts until the desired consistency is reached.
Versatile Processing:
- Blending/Chopping/Mixing: Use the tall blending cup with the blending (cross) blade for liquids, sauces, smoothies, and general mixing.
- Grinding/Whipping: Use the small grinding cup with the grinding (flat) blade for coffee beans, spices, or whipping ingredients.
- Food Preparation: Ideal for making a variety of recipes including spicy jalapeño picante sauce, eggless Caesar dressing, pink pesto, fresh basil pesto, traditional marinara sauce, creamy alfredo, banana strawberry smoothies, creamy broccoli soup, egg-nog, cheesecake, hummus, scrambled eggs, mango strawberry delight, rockin' raspberry/pineapple juice, and Italian garlic bread.
Microwave Safe Cups (without blades): The Rocket cups can be used in a microwave oven with the shaker lid (large holes) attached, but never with the blade still attached. Caution is advised due to hot steam.
Convenient Serving: Cup rings can be added to the blending cups for immediate enjoyment of drinks. Shaker lids (small or large holes) can be fastened to cups for cooking or serving, useful for grated cheese, spices, or cooking foods in the microwave.
Food Processing Hints:
- Solid foods should be no larger than 1-inch pieces.
- Always add at least one cup of liquid before adding ice or frozen solid foods to prevent cup breakage or chipping.
- Do not overfill; do not exceed the MAX line.
- Allow hot foods to cool for at least one hour before processing.
Grinding Coffee: Add coffee beans and optional flavoring ingredients to the small grinding cup with the grinding blade. Pulse until the desired texture is achieved, from coarse to a fine powder for espresso.

Maintenance Features:

Easy Cleaning: All lids, cup rings, processing blades, and processing cups are top-rack dishwasher safe.
Hand Washing: Lids and cup rings should be washed in warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly.
Motor Base Cleaning: The motor base can be wiped with a damp cloth or sponge and dried thoroughly. It must NEVER be immersed in water.
Blade Handling: Blades are sharp and should be handled carefully by their collars only. A small nylon bristle brush can be used to remove processed food from the blade area if necessary.
Gasket Seal Check: After dishwashing and before each use, always check that the plastic gasket seal in the base of the blade collar is properly in place, as heat from dishwashers may cause it to loosen.
Storage: Unplug and clean the unit before storing in its original box or a clean, dry place. Do not store while hot or plugged in. Avoid wrapping the cord tightly around the appliance to prevent fraying or breaking.
No User-Serviceable Parts: The appliance requires little maintenance and contains no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond cleaning should be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
