BLENDING TIPS

•Cut food into small pieces (3/4″-1″) before adding to the Blender.

•When blending liquids and including ice cubes, limit the quantity to the 4-cup (1L) mark of the Jar. For warm or hot foods, limit the amount to 2 cups with the Lid and Cap in place.

•When ingredients stick or spatter along the sides of the jar, turn the blender off and remove the lid. Use a rubber spatula to push food toward the blades. Replace the lid then continue blending.

•For best circulation of foods that are to be blended with liquid, pour the liquid into the Jar first, then add solids.

•Some of the tasks that cannot be performed efficiently with a Blender are: beating egg whites, whipping cream, mashing potatoes, grinding meats, mixing dough, and extracting juices from fruits/vegetables.

•The following items should never be placed in the unit as they may cause damage: dried spices and herbs (ground alone), bones, large pieces of solidly frozen foods.
