HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

• When using hard foods, such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on the lid
to keep blender jar and base in place.
• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3/4" before blending.
• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very
thick, turn the 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.
• The lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be used as a measure
when adding ingredients such as oil, milk, cream or liquor.
• When making bread, cookie, cereal, or cracker crumbs, make sure
blending jar is completely dry.
• When using the PULSE function, use short bursts of a second or two.
Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. If you hold down the
toggle for more than 30 continuous seconds, the safety feature will
engage and the unit will have to be reset.
• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then
increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• Never operate the blender without the lid.
• To stop blending at any time, press the toggle upwards towards
START|OFF.
• When blending hot ingredients, always let them cool at least 5 minutes
before blending. Begin blending on the lowest speed with the lid cap
off to allow steam to escape. Cover lid cap hole with towel or hot pad.
• When crushing ice with no other ingredients, use 2 cups ice max (about
15 cubes). Make sure blender jar is completely dry before ice crushing.

CARE AND CLEANING

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified
service personnel.
• Unplug the blender base before cleaning. Wipe the blender base using
a damp cloth. Do not immerse the blender base in water.
• Lift the blending jar, by the handle, off the base.
• Remove lid and lid cap.
• Wash removable parts by hand or in the dishwasher. Place the jar on the
bottom rack and the rest of the parts on the top rack only.
CAUTION: Blades are sharp. Handle with care when hand washing.

CLEANING TIPS

• For quick cleanup, combine 1 cup hot water and a drop of liquid dish
soap in the blending jar.
• Cover and blend on medium for about 30 seconds.
• Discard liquid and rinse thoroughly.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not place the jar parts in boiling liquids.
• Do not immerse the base in liquid. Wipe the base with a damp cloth and
dry thoroughly.
