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.
