West Bend L5746, PBL1000 instruction manual Helpful Hints

HELPFUL HINTS

•To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen ingredients.

•To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid ingredients.

•Always add the liquid ingredients to the blending jar first and then add the remaining ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear on the motor and ensure that the ingredients are properly blended.

•Cut food into approximately ¾” pieces. You will get a more even chop if you start with pieces that are all the same size.

•The stir stick may be used to assist in making frozen drinks or for blending any other types of ingredients. When the stir stick is not being used, be sure to place the lid cap over the hole in the center of the lid.

•When chopping dry ingredients such as bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make sure that the blending jar and blade bases are completely dry.

•The “PULSE” button should be operated in short bursts. As the “PULSE” button is pressed and released, the blades should stop rotating between pulses.

•Do not attempt to mix or knead heavy dough, mash potatoes, or beat egg whites.

•Do not over-blend foods. Most ingredients should be properly blended or chopped in seconds. Do not operate the motor base for longer than 90 seconds at a time.

•If the motor stalls, turn off and unplug the appliance. Remove a portion of the ingredients before attempting to continue.

•Do not add boiling liquids to the blending jar.
