BLENDING TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾-inch for use in blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients, always
add liquid ingredients first.
• When ingredients splatter onto sides of jar or mixture is very thick, press
START/STOP button to turn appliance off. Remove lid and use a rubber spatula
to scrape down sides of the jar and to redistribute food, pushing food toward
blades. Replace lid and continue blending.
Important: Appliance should always have cover in place when in use.
Caution: Do not place blender jar on base when motor is running.
• Lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be used
as a measure when adding ingredients such as juices,
milk, cream and liquor (N).
• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or
grinding coffee beans, make sure blender jar is
completely dry.
• When using PULSE function, use short bursts. Allow
blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use
pulse for more than 2 minutes.
• Use PULSE function to begin blending process when preparing beverages that
include ice cubes; this helps to produce a smoother texture. Once mixture
begins to come together:
o Set MODE to SPEED; select desired speed.
o Change MODE to TIMER; select desired running time.
o Press START/STOP and let blender run.
• PULSE function is helpful when short bursts of power are needed, such as when
preparing thick smoothies or milkshakes, chopping nuts or grinding coffee
beans.
• It is helpful to begin blending process on lowest speed and then increase to
higher speeds, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press START/STOP.
