GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS!

When the machine is not in use, unplug the machine from the outlet.

If you detect a change in the sound of the machine or if a hard or foreign object comes into contact with the blades, do not serve the contents. Inspect your blade assembly for loose, nicked or missing

parts. If parts are loose, missing, or nicked, replace with new blade assembly. (See page 19.) When processing hot liquids always:

Use caution; escaping steam or splashes may scald

Lock the lid. This will prevent the lid from blowing off when the machine is activated.

Start on VARIABLE SPEED #1 and quickly increase to #10. Never start on the highest speed when blending hot ingredients.

XLTM Blender Instructions

1.Place liquids and soft foods in the container first. Placing wet ingredients towards the blades helps to start the vortex that allows the other ingredients to be pulled into the blades. Although not necessary for processing, cutting or breaking food into smaller pieces (1 to 3 in. / 3 to 8 cm) allows for more precise measuring of ingredients.Thawed or partially-thawed fruit is recommended. The highest speed is recommended for heavy-duty blending.

2.Set the container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad anchored to the base. (Motor must be completely stopped before positioning container.) Containers are not to be used for hard, dry materials. Avoid running your machine with the container empty.

3.Always use a lid when blending. If blending hot ingredients, the lid must be securely latched in place. When processing hot liquids, DO NOT use a non-latching or one-piece lid.

4.To achieve the best blend, always make sure you fill the 1.5 gal. / 5.7 L container to the 48 oz. / 1.4 L level or higher with ingredients. If finished volume is less than 48 oz. / 1.4 L, use the Advanced container.

5.Plug the machine into the nearest outlet (if unplugged).

6.Select the desired speed. It is recommended to start on variable speed #1 and slowly work the variable speed dial to attain the desired blend consistency.

6a. To prevent possible splashing, lightly rest your hand on the lid while turning the machine on (except when processing hot liquids or mixtures).

6b. Until you become accustomed to the speed, watch your mixture carefully to avoid over- blending.

6c. The lower the speed, the coarser the blend. The higher the speed, the finer the blend. In order to avoid over processing, always start at the lowest variable speed and work your way up.

6d. If during blending, the mixture seems too thick, remove the lid plug and slowly add liquid through the lid opening while processing.
