BLENDING TIPS AND TRICKS
• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾” for use in the blender.
• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients,
always add liquid ingredients first.
• When making bread crumbs make sure blender jar is completely dry.
• When using PULSE function; use short bursts. Allow the blades to stop
rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 2 minutes.
• Use the High Pulse button when crushing ice cubes or anything frozen.
For efficient ice crushing, repeatedly press down and release the High

increase to a higher speed, if necessary.
• To stop blending at any time, press the OFF button.

sides of blending jar, if necessary, and continue blending.
• Do not use if blending jar is chipped or cracked.
• It is not recommended to use your blender to beat egg whites, mix
dough, mash potatoes, or grind meats.
• Refrain from tapping or banging the Jar base/Blade assembly on
the counter.
