Example of Use of Blender
To familiarize you with the operation of the blender, a sample recipe for mayonnaise is provided below:
Mayonnaise Recipe
1 whole egg
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
2tablespoons lemon juice or light vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2/3 cup of vegetable oil
Mix all ingredients, except final 2/3’s cup of oil, for a few seconds at speed 1, then quickly pour the oil in through the opening in the cover in a uniformly thick stream, as shown in figure 13b. Operate the blender at speeds 1 or 4 until mixture is thick and smooth (approximately
Tips:
The blender should be operated with careful consideration as to what is required and/or desired. The speed at which the blender is operated and the length of operation for a given job will depend upon the degree of fineness desired or the amount being blended.
When the blender is being used on dry materials, such as nuts or dry bread, the best results will be obtained when the blender jar is filled with approximately 1/2 cup of material to be blended.
If the blender does not start (even after trying the highest speed) after having switched it On and the digital display is showing an error message (i.e, “E:2”) the blade has become blocked by the contents. The power unit should be:
1.Switched to Off, “O/Off,” and unplugged.
2.The mixture should be removed and the contents at the bottom of the jar loosened.
Removing Contents
Before beginning to remove the contents from the blender, make sure that the power unit has been turned to the Off position, “O/Off.” Remove the blender from the power unit by turning the blender clockwise while lifting. With the blender removed from the power unit, the contents of the blender may now be poured into a suitable container or bowl, as desired.
Care and Cleaning of Blender
All components of the blender, except the blade assembly, are dishwasher safe. It is recommended that the blade assembly be cleaned only under flowing water rather than in the dishwasher. Soap and detergent will tend to wash out the bearing lubricant of the blade/base assembly. Do not use scouring cleaners on any of the blender parts.
The power unit of the kitchen machine should be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth only. Never use coarse or caustic cleaning products to clean this appliance. Never immerse the power unit in water.
