the closure/funnel may be left in place and the liquids added by pouring it into the closure/funnel, see figure 11a.

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

2 tablespoons 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 11a. Operate the blender at highest speed until mixture is thick and smooth (approximately 10-20 seconds). Makes 1 1/4 cups.

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.

Figure 11.

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) and it is humming, 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.

If power unit is not functioning see TROUBLESHOOTING section.

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,” and unplugged. Remove the blender from the power unit by turning the blender counterclockwise 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 blender jar/blade assembly, are dishwasher safe. It is recommended that the blender jar/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.

With the power unit turned Off and unplugged, it should be cleaned only with a clean, damp cloth. Then wipe off the safety motor drive cover and reinstall on the power unit, if necessary. Never use coarse or caustic cleaning products to clean the power unit. Never immerse the power unit in water.
