Quick tips

•If you’re making beverages using ice, start with ICE, then finish with Speed 5 in order to produce a smoother texture.

•Ice directly from the freezer will crush better than partially melted ice for snow.

•Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than large ones.

•For many ingredient mixtures, start the blending process at speed 1 to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then increase to a higher speed, as desired.

•If desired, remove center ingredient cup of pitcher lid to add liquids or ice cubes while the Blender is operating at speeds 1, 2, or 3.

•Stop the Blender before using utensils

in the pitcher. Use a rubber spatula to mix ingredients only when the Blender is off. Never use any utensil, including spatulas, in the pitcher while the motor is running.

•Cool hot foods, if possible, before blending. Begin blending warm foods

at speed 1. Increase to higher speeds, one at a time, if necessary.

•When blending hot foods or liquids, do not fill the blender pitcher to the top. Secure the lid, remove the center ingredient cup, and place a towel over the lid. Operate only on speed 1. Do not place bare hand on pitcher lid when processing hot foods or liquids.
