Operating the Blender

Professional Blending Techniques

Filling the container

When filling the container with ingredients, follow these recommendations:

•Use sufficient amount of liquid to ensure that the mixture is fluid and free-running at all times. Pour the liquid into the container FIRST.

•Cut solid ingredients into pieces that are no bigger than a 1″ (2.5cm)cube.

•Add the ingredients to container in batches. Do not blend maximum volume all at once.

•Do NOT overfill the container with product. This may prevent the blender from processing the product properly. Process dense foods or thick mixtures in small batches, and remember that the volume of the product normally increases during processing.

Burn Hazard

Always use caution when blending hot contents.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

•Do not exceed one quart of content when blending hot product.

•Always place the cover and filler cap on the container when blending. For blending hot liquids, remove filler cap from container cover before blending.

Blending techniques

Icy drinks – Do not use blender to crush large ice cubes. The blender is not designed for this. Small ice cubes or crushed ice is recommended. Pour in liquid, then add ice. Cover. Set speed at HIGH (except model 901) and process until desired consistency is reached. Chunks of frozen fruit can be added to milk or fruit juice to produce a sherbet or slush.

Blending hot mixtures

IMPORTANT: To minimize the possibility of scalding, the following precautions MUST be observed:

•Do not exceed 1 quart of content when blending hot product. Remember that the volume of the product normally increases during processing.

•Always place the cover on the container and remove the filler cap from container cover when blending hot liquids to prevent the build up of pressure.

•Never stand with your face directly over the container when operating the blender where

steam may be released.

•Begin on LOW speed and then select a speed that produces a column of air in the center of the container.

Filler Cap

Use the filler cap to add liquids to the container while the unit is running.
