Note: Use PULSE for no more than ve seconds at a time,
allowing the blender to rest briey between each pulse, no
more than two minutes total. This helps break up the ice and
distribute the ingredients.
7. Open the lid cap to add ingredients while the blender is
running and drop ingredients through the opening (D).
• The lid cap holds up to 1 oz. liquid and can be used as a
measure when adding ingredients such as juices, milk,
cream and liquor (E).
• If air pockets or clogs form in the mixture, press down on
the lid to break them up. (F) This lowers the jar and raises
the blades within the mixture. (G)
Important: Do not remove the lid while the blender is running.
8. When nished, press the PULSE/OFF button. Make sure
blades have completely stopped before attempting to
remove the blending jar from the base.
9. To remove the jar, grasp the handle and lift up.
Note: Always unplug the appliance when not 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 rst.
• 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.
• Use the High Pulse button when preparing beverages that include ice
cubes or anything frozen; this helps to produce a smoother texture.
• 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 overll the blender (the blender is more efcient 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.
• Refrain from tapping or banging the Jar base/Blade assembly on the
counter.
