HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS

• When using hard foods, such as ice or cheese, keep one hand on the lid

to keep blender jar and base in place.

• Cut food into pieces no larger than 3/4” before blending.

• When ingredients splatter onto the sides of the jar or the mixture is very

thick, turn the 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.

• The lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be used as a measure when

adding ingredients such as oil, milk, cream or liquor.

• When making bread, cookie, cereal, or cracker crumbs, make sure

blending jar is completely dry.

• When using the PULSE function, use short bursts. Allow the blades

to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use PULSE for more than 30 seconds continuously.

• It is helpful to begin the blending process on the lowest speed and then

increase to a higher speed, if necessary.

• Never operate the blender without the lid.

• To stop blending at any time, press the PULSE|STOP or ON | OFF button.

• When blending hot ingredients, always let them cool at least 5 minutes

before blending. Begin blending on the lowest speed with the lid cap off to allow steam to escape. Cover lid cap hole with towel or hot pad.

• When crushing ice with no other ingredients, use 2 cups ice max (about 15

cubes). Make sure blender jar is completely dry before ice crushing.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Unplug the blender base before cleaning. Wipe the blender base using a

damp cloth. Do not immerse the blender base in water.

• Remove lid and lid cap.

• Wash removable parts by hand or in the dishwasher. Place the jar on the

bottom rack and the rest of the parts on the top rack only.

Caution: Blades are sharp. Handle with care when hand washing.

CLEANING TIPS:

• For quick cleanup, combine 1 cup hot water and a drop of liquid dish soap

in the blending jar.

• Place lid with lid cap securely on jar and blend on speed 3 for about 30

seconds.

• Discard liquid and rinse thoroughly.

Important:

• Do not place the jar parts in boiling liquids.

• Do not immerse the base in liquid. Wipe the base with a damp cloth and

dry thoroughly.

• Remove stubborn spots by rubbing with a damp cloth and nonabrasive

cleaner.

Note: If liquids spill onto the base, wipe with a damp cloth and dry

thoroughly. Do not use rough scouring pads or cleansers on parts or ﬁnish.
