■ Put ingredients in jar; place lid on jar. Place hand on
lid when blending.
■ CAUTION: To avoid potential burns, do not place hand
on blender lid when processing hot liquids. With the
protection of an oven mitt or thick towel, place one
hand on top of lid. Keep exposed skin away from lid.
Start bending at lowest speed.
■ Process food or beverages. See the “Blending Specific
Foods” section for speeds and processing tips.
■ ALWAYS turn blender off and wait until blades have
stopped rotating before removing jar.
■ To remove jar after blending is complete, lift the jar
straight up. If it is not easily removed, rock gently and
lift. Do not twist.
■ NEVER replace jar onto unit while motor is running.
GENERAL TIPS
■ To prevent possible burns: do not fill blender jar beyond
the 3-cup (750 ml) level. With the protection of an
oven mitt or thick towel, place one hand on top of lid.
Keep exposed skin away from lid. Start blending at
lowest speed.
■ To add foods when blender is operating, remove
filler cap from container cover and add ingredients
through the opening.
■ For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid
needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/250 ml). Add
more liquid if food is not blending properly.
■ If blending action stops during blending or ingredi-
ents stick to sides of the jar, there may not be
enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.
■ Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip
egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from
fruits and vegetables. The blender is not made to
perform these tasks.
■ Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
■ Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in
operation or at any time.
