Quick Tips
•Blend at HIGH if you’re making a large amount of beverage using lots of ice. For smaller quantities, use MEDIUM.
•Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than large ones.
•Add food to this blender pitcher in larger quantities than you would with other blenders – you can add 2 to
3cups (475 to 710 mL) at a time versus
1cup (235 mL) portions.
•For many ingredient mixtures, start the blending process at LOW to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
•Be sure to keep lid on pitcher while blending.
•If desired, remove center cap of pitcher lid to add liquids or ice cubes while the blender is operating at LOW speed.
•When operating at higher speeds with a full pitcher or with hot contents, stop the blender and then add ingredients.
•Stop the blender before using utensils in the pitcher. Use a rubber spatula to mix ingredients only when the blender is OFF. Do not use any utensil, including spatulas, in the pitcher while the motor is running.
•Cool hot foods, if possible, before blending. Begin blending warm foods at LOW. Increase to higher speed,
if necessary.
•Remove center ingredient cap when blending hot liquids and operate only on LOW. Do not place bare hand on pitcher lid when processing hot liquids.
•Stop and check the consistency of foods after a few seconds to avoid
