Using Your Blender
Blender Tips
• To add foods when blender is
operating,
remove emulsion cup and add
ingredients through the opening.
• For best performance, the minimum
amount of liquid needed per recipe is
one cup (8 ounces/237 ml). Add more
liquid if food is not blending properly.
The amount of liquid needed will vary
based on the other ingredients required
for blending.
• If blending action stops during blending
or ingredients stick to sides of jar,
insert tamper to help move the mixture
around or add more liquid to blender
jar.
• Do not store food or liquids in blender
jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping blender
when in operation or at any time.
• Use
when making nut butters
tamper
and blend in 1-minute intervals.
Using the Tamper
• The hand protector on the tamper and the
lid work together to prevent the tamper
from hitting the blades when the lid is
secured properly on the blender jar.
• The blender jar should not be more than
two-thirds full when the tamper is used
during blending.
• Only use the tamper provided with this
model blender. Do not use tampers made
for any other blender or blender model.

• Cutting large whole fruits and
vegetables may allow them to blend
more quickly.
• Do not fill blender jar past highest
graduation marking.
• Always place liquid in blender jar
first, then remaining ingredients.
• If ice or frozen fruit pieces are not
blending, stop the blender and pulse
a few times.
• Do not allow ice to stand or freeze
in jar. Immediately crush ice after
placing in jar.
NOTE: This machine is equipped
with motor overload protection. If
the motor stops during operation due
to overheating, unplug and allow it
to cool down for approximately 15
minutes. Plug machine back in to
resume normal operation.
• If food does not circulate, an air bubble
may be trapped in the mixture. Remove
the blender jar from the blender base.
Remove the emulsion cup. Release the air
bubble by inserting the tamper through
the emulsion cup opening.
• Holding the tamper straight down may
not help ingredients circulate. If necessary,
point the tamper toward the sides or
corners of the blender jar. DO NOT try to
force the tamper deeper into the jar.
