BLENDING TIPS
5
• Cut food into small pieces (3/4
″-1″) before
adding to the Blender.
• When blending liquids and including ice
cubes, limit the quantity to the 4-cup (1L)
mark of the Jar. For warm or hot foods,
limit the amount to 2 cups with the Lid and
Cap in place.
• When ingredients stick or spatter along the sides
of the jar, turn the blender off and remove the lid.
Use a rubber spatula to push food toward the blades.
Replace the lid then continue blending.
• For best circulation of foods that are to be blended with liquid, pour the
liquid into the Jar first, then add solids.
• Some of the tasks that cannot be performed efficiently with a Blender
are: beating egg whites, whipping cream, mashing potatoes, grinding
meats, mixing dough, and extracting juices from fruits/vegetables.
• The following items should never be placed in the unit as they may
cause damage: dried spices and herbs (ground alone), bones, large
pieces of solidly frozen foods.
