Blender Tips

Quick Tips

Use the pulse feature when making beverages that include ice cubes in order to produce a smoother texture.

Blend at LIQUEFY if you're making a large amount of beverage using lots of ice. For smaller quantities, use MIX.

Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than large ones.

Add food to this blender jar in larger quantities than you would with other blenders – you can add 2 to 3 cups at a time versus 1-cup portions.

For many ingredient mixtures, start the blending process at STIR to combine the ingredients thoroughly. Then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.

Be sure to keep cover on blender jar while blending.

If desired, remove center cap of blender jar cover to add liquids or ice cubes while the blender is operating at STIR or MIX speeds. When operating at higher speeds, with a full jar or with hot contents stop blender and add ingredients.

Stop the blender and unplug before using utensils in the blender jar.

Cool hot foods, if possible, before blending. Begin blending warm foods at STIR. Increase to higher speed, if necessary.

Place a cloth over the lid and your hand on the cloth when blending warm or hot liquids and operate only on STIR. Do not place bare hand on blender lid when processing hot liquids.
