BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3/4-inch for use in the blender.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar, or
the mixture is very thick, press the OFF/PULSE button to
turn appliance off. Remove the 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.
• Appliance should always have cover in place when in
use.
• Do not place blender jar on base when motor is
running.
• The lid cap holds 1/3 cup liquid and can be used when
E
adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and
liquor (E).
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans, make
sure blender jar is completely dry.
• When using the PULSE function, use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop
rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the PULSE button when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; 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.
