Blender Tips
Quick Tips
° In order to produce a smoother texture,
blend with CRUSHICE if you're making
beverages using ice.
° Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or
crushed faster than large ones.
° Add food to this Blender pitcher in
larger quantities than you would with
other blenders - you can add 2 to 3
cups (475 to 710 ml) at a time versus 1
cup (235 ml) portions.
° For many ingredient mixtures, start the
blending process at STIRto thoroughly
combine the ingredients. Then increase
to a higher speed, if necessary.
° Be sure to keep lid on pitcher or
accessory jar while blending.
° If desired, remove center ingredient cup
or drizzle cap of the pitcher or accessory
jar lid to add liquids or ice cubes while
the Blender is operating on STIR,CHOP
or MIX speeds.
° When operating at higher speeds with a
full pitcher or accessory jar or with hot
contents, stop the Blender and then add
ingredients.
° Stop the Blender before using utensils in
the pitcher or accessory jar. Use a rubber
spatula to mix ingredients only when
the Blender is OFR To avoid damaging
the utensil or blender blades, do not use
any utensil, including spatulas, in the
pitcher or accessory jar while the motor
is running.
° Cool hot foods, if possible, before
blending. Begin blending warm foods
on STIR.Increase to higher speed, if
necessary.
° Remove center ingredient cup or drizzle
cap when blending hot liquids and
operate only on STIR.Do not place bare
hand on lid when processing hot liquids.
° Stop and check the consistency of
foods after a few seconds to avoid
over-processing.
