Hints for Best Use
• Processing hot foods or liquids in the
blender may cause hot liquid to spurt
out when the cover is removed. Always
remove the filler cap of the cover
before blending hot foods or liquids.
• To add foods when blender is
operating, remove filler cap from
container cover and add ingredients
through the opening.
• If blending action stops during
blending or ingredients stick to sides
of the jar, turn blender OFF. Remove
cover and use a rubber spatula to push
mixture toward blades.
• 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.
• When blending foods, do not fill the
glass jar above the 32-ounce line
(4 cups) or the plastic jar above the
56-ounce line (7 cups).
