Food Processing Hints
WARNING: Do not operate the motor continuously for more than 3 minutes at a time. Allow motor to rest
for 3 minutes before continuing.
Never overfill the processing cup. The maximum capacity of the tall blending cup is 13.5 oz./399 ml.
The maximum capacity of the small grinding cup is 6 oz./175 ml.
• For best results, solid foods should not be larger than 1-inch pieces. Cut or tear food into pieces
approximately equal in size before processing.
• Fasten either shaker lid (small holes or large holes) to either cup (small grinding or tall blending) to use
for cooking or serving.
• The large-hole shaker top may be used to serve: grated Parmesan cheese, chocolate, flavored
sugars, or coarse spice blends. Use the small-hole shaker top for finely ground spices, such as
nutmeg or cinnamon stick.
Grinding Coffee
Preparing, using, and storing freshly-ground coffee is simple with the Rocket blending set.
1. Add coffee beans to the small grinding cup. If desired, add any other flavoring ingredients,
such as cinnamon or vanilla bean.
2. Add the grinding blade.
3. Pulse until coffee beans are the desired texture. The coarser the grind, the milder the brew.
For espresso grind, pulse until the beans are ground to a fine powder.
User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing requiring
disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
Care & Cleaning Instructions
CAUTION: Never immerse the motor base, plug or cord in water or any other liquid.
1. Always unplug the Rocket Blender before cleaning.
2. Whenever possible, rinse parts immediately after processing to make cleanup easier.
3. Always handle blades using the blade collar.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when handling blades. Do not touch the blades with your fingers.
The blades are very sharp and can cause injury if touched.
4. If necessary, use any small nylon bristle brush to remove processed food from the blade and
the blade area.
5. For quick clean-ups, fill processing cup (blending or grinding) one-quarter full with clean, warm water.
Following the steps outlined in the Operating Instructions, pulse several times using first the blending
blade and then the grinding blade. Rinse thoroughly.
6. Remove cup rings after use to clean. Wash all lids and cup rings in warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
CAUTION: Never use rough scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on any plastic or metal parts as the
surface may be damaged.
7. Processing blades, processing cups and lids are all top-rack dishwasher safe.
IMPORTANT: After dishwashing, always check to make sure the gasket seal in the base of the blade
collar is properly in place, as the heat from some dishwashers may cause them to become loose.
8. The motor base may be wiped with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry thoroughly.
WARNING: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MOTOR BASE IN WATER.
Storing Instructions
1. Unplug and clean unit.
2. Store in original box or in a clean, dry place.
3. Never store Rocket Blender while it is hot or plugged in.
4. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance. Never place any stress on cord, especially where the cord
enters the unit, as this could cause the cord to fray and break.
