BLENDING HINTS AND TIPS
• If ingredients stick to the sides of the glass jar during the blending process, the
contents need to be pushed back into the blending zone of the blades. DO NOT
DO THIS WHILE THE BLENDER IS RUNNING. Press the STOP button and
unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Remove the lid and with a plastic or
silicone spatula, scrape the contents from the sides of the jar. Replace the lid before
continuing to blend.
• Do not over load the blender jar. This blender is intended to process regular
household quantities.
• For better and more even blending performance, cut vegetables into wedges or
strips. Cut other food into 1” cubes.
• Do not place anything other than liquids or food inside the blender jar before adding
solid ingredients.
• This blender is not meant to knead dough or mash potatoes.
• NEVER place hot or boiling ingredients into the blender jar. If blending warm
ingredients, do not ll blender jar with more than 2 cups of ingredients.
• Follow recipe directions, but as a rule of thumb add liquid ingredients into the blender
jar before adding solid ingredients.
• Heavy ingredients and mixtures will blend more evenly by using intermittent pulses
of about 10 seconds.
• Do not run blender for more than 1 minute without turning off the blender motor and
allowing the ingredients to slightly settle. This will help prevent over-blending.
• The blender motor will not operate without the glass jar positioned correctly on top
of the blender base.
• Do not remove the blender lid while operating. To add liquid ingredients while
blending, remove the center piece of the two-piece lid and pour ingredients through
the opening. Do not put a utensil or any other object through the opening in the lid.
• NEVER store foods or liquid in the jar.
• To reduce wear on the blade assembly and motor, add solid foods in ½ cup
increments.
• If a recipe requires different speeds for blending, blend a portion at a time.
• When crushing ice, start with 4 to 6 ice cubes and add 1 to 2 ice cubes at a time.
The type of ice cube used does matter. It is recommended to use only large, solid
ice cubes from the freezer. The ice cubes also should not be wet.
