◆ Always place liquid ingredients into the container first, unless
recipe directs otherwise.
◆ Most foods require only seconds, not minutes, to process.
◆ Blend small amounts of solid food at a time for best results.
◆ 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 container before turning blender on
to prevent splattering.
◆ To add foods while blender is operating, remove small clear lid
insert on lid and slowly add ingredients.
◆ The removable lid insert may be used as a 2 oz. measuring device.
◆ 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.
