DRY BLADE CONTAINER
If purchased, your dry blade container should only be used for hard, dry materials, such
as grain, and for kneading dough.
1. Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is set to 1.
2. Securely fasten the 2-part lid. Always use the complete 2-part lid when blending (unless
the tamper is inserted through the lid plug opening).
3. With the motor off, set the dry blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the
centering pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to
operate a motor base without a container properly in place.
4. Start with the High/Variable Switch in the Variable (
) position. Always start your
machine on variable speed 1. Activate the machine by turning the On/Off Switch to
On (|) then slowly increase to the desired speed. Your container will shift and get into an
aligned position.
5. After turning the machine off, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the
lid or container from the motor base.
6.
Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than standard appliances. Until
y
ou are accustomed to the machine, count your time carefully to avoid over processing.
7. Grinding dry material for more than two minutes could damage your machine. Regular
use may result in cosmetic marring of the container and cause the blades to become dull
over time
.
8. Grinding some herbs may release volatile oils, causing the container to discolor
permanently. Others have strong odors that may linger in the container, affecting the
flavour of other foods. The grinding of some herbs and spices may also cause the blade to
dull over time, or the container to crack.
