BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾” for use in the blender.

When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients, always add liquid ingredients first.

When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very thick, press the PULSE/OFF 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.

Important: Appliance should always have lid in place when in use.

Caution: Do not place blender jar onto base when motor is running.

 

 

 

The lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be

 

 

 

 

 

used as a measure when adding ingredients such

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as juices, milk, cream or liquor (F).

completely dry.

When using PULSE function, use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.

Use the PULSE/OFF button to begin the blending process when preparing beverages that include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother texture.

The PULSE function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed, such as when preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans.

It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.

To stop blending at any time, press the PULSE/OFF button.

 

 

 

• When blending hot ingredients, remove the lid cap

 

 

 

and then put it back partly open, with the opened

 

 

 

side tilted away from you. Cover lid with a cloth to

avoid splattering and only use the lowest speed.

(G).

DO NOT place any of the following in the blender:

Large pieces of frozen foods

Tough foods such as raw turnips, sweet potatoes and potatoes

Bones

Hard salami, pepperoni

Boiling liquids (cool for 5 minutes before placing in blending jar)

Several other don’ts:

Do not operate blender without the lid on the blending jar.

Do not store foods in the blending jar.

Do not overfill the blender (the blender is more efficient with less rather than more).

Do not use PULSE for more than 10 seconds at a time; release the PULSE/OFF button, allow the blender to come to a complete stop, then continue.
