HELPFUL HINTS (CONTINUED)
•Break or cut food into uniform 1”– 2” size pieces and hard fibrous food into uniform 1⁄2” pieces before processing. This will allow the food to drop down around the blades for faster, more thorough blending action.
•Always place Lid Assembly on Blending Jar before turning Blender on to prevent splattering.
•To add foods while Blender is operating, remove small clear insert on Lid and slowly add ingredients.
•Always remove bones, pits, hard shells, seeds, and cores before processing to avoid damaging the unit.
•If food sticks to sides of container and blending action stops, turn the unit off, remove the Lid Assembly and carefully push food down using a rubber spatula. Remove spatula, replace Lid Assembly and continue blending.
•If motor labors while processing, turn knob to higher speed or remove part of contents and blend in small batches.
