BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
1. Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾-inch for use in the blender.
2. When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick,
press the OFF/PULSE button to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use
a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to redistribute the food
pushing food toward the blades. Replace the lid and continue blending.
3. Blender should always have lid with lid cap in place when in use.
4. Do not place blender jar on base when motor is running.
5. The lid cap holds ¼ cup liquid and can be used when
adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor
(N).
6. When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding
coffee beans make sure blender jar is completely dry.
7. When using a PULSE function use short bursts. Allow the
blades to stop rotating between pulses.
8. Use the PULSE button when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; this
helps to produce a smoother texture.
9. It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase
to a higher speed, if necessary.
10. When blending hot ingredients always open the lid cap and
replace it ajar with the opened side away from you. Cover
lid with a cloth to avoid splattering and only use low
speed. Do not blend more than 3 to 3½ cups at a time (P).
