BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

•Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾-inch 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.
