Using Your Blender, Cleaning Your Blender

USING YOUR BLENDER

1.Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. NOTE: Do not operate blender where dust or flour can be sucked up into the vent openings, as this will cause damage to the blender.

2.Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.

3.Put liquids into the blender first unless recipes call for an alternate processing sequence.

4.Prepare ingredients for blending. Cut all solid ingredients, i.e. fruits, vegetables, or cheeses or meats into uniform pieces, ½ to 1-inch cubes. Place lid on blender. NOTE: Always place one hand on mixing jar or lid to steady blender while operating.

5.Blend foods according to the recipe or until the desired results are achieved. NOTE: If scraping or stirring of contents is required, turn blender to the “off” position and unplug from electrical outlet. Do not use metal utensils to stir as scratching of mixing jar may occur.

•A small amount of odor may occur during operation due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

Crushing Ice

1.Fill mixing jar with approximately 2-cups of water. Add desired amount of ice cubes.

2.Cover the mixing jar with the lid and insert the lid cap.

3.When crushing ice, hold blender stable with the palm of your hand over the complete lid. Turn speed control to PULSE for 1 second and release. Pause for approximately 2-seconds and repeat the 1-second PULSING until ice is crushed to desired consistency.

4.Drain off any excess water.

HINT: approximately 12 cubes (2-cups) of ice make for a slush consistency.

CLEANING YOUR BLENDER
