BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or

the mixture is very thick, press the OFF/PULSE button

to turn appliance off. Remove the lid and use a rubber

spatula to scrape down the sides of the jar and to

redistribute the food pushing food toward the blades.

Replace the lid and continue blending.
