Professional Blending Techniques

Filling the container

When filling the container with ingredients, follow these recommendations:

•Use sufficient amount of liquid to ensure that the mixture is fluid and free-running at all times. Pour the liquid into the container FIRST.

•Cut solid ingredients into pieces that are no bigger than a 1″(2.5cm)cube.

•Add the ingredients to container in batches. Do not blend maximum volume all at once.

•Do NOT overfill the container with product. This may prevent the blender from processing the product properly. Process dense foods or thick mixtures in small batches, and remember that the volume of the product normally increases during processing.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

Always use caution when blending hot contents.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns.

•Do not exceed one quart of content when blending hot product.

•Always place the cover and filler cap on the container when blending. For blending hot liquids, remove filler cap from container cover before blending.

Blending techniques

Icy drinks – Do not use blender to crush large ice cubes. The blender is not designed for this. Small ice cubes or crushed ice is recommended. Pour in liquid, then add ice. Cover. Set speed at HIGH (except model 901) and process until desired consistency is reached. Chunks of frozen fruit can be added to milk or fruit juice to produce a sherbet or slush.

Blending hot mixtures

IMPORTANT: To minimize the possibility of scalding, the following precautions MUST be observed:

•Do not exceed 1 quart of content when blending hot product. Remember that the volume of the product normally increases during processing.

•Always place the cover on the container and remove the filler cap from container cover when blending hot liquids to prevent the build up of pressure.

•Never stand with your face directly over the container when operating the blender where

steam may be released.

•Begin on LOW speed and then select a speed that produces a column of air in the center of the container.

Filler Cap

Use the filler cap to add liquids to the container while the unit is running.

Cleaning Instructions

wWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Do not remove ground.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Do not immerse base in water or other liquid.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

wWARNING

Cut Hazard

Sanitizing

1.Wash container as instructed in “General Cleaning.”

General cleaning

Do not allow food residue to dry on any part of the blender. Wash and rinse container, cutter unit assembly and base after each use, or whenever it will not be used again within one hour, as follows:

1.Remove the container from the base, and then remove the cover. Add cleaning solution to the container. Use a washing solution of hot water (less than 115° F/46° C) and a non-sudsing detergent. Use the recommended amount of detergent.

2.Scrub and flush out the container interior, cover and filler cap to remove food residue. Empty container.

3.Fill container 1⁄4 full with fresh washing solution and place it on the base.

4.Replace the cover on the container and run the blender on high speed (except model 901) for 2 minutes.

5.Repeat step 3 using clean rinse water (95° F/35° C).

6.Wipe down the container, filler cap, and cover with a soft cloth or sponge, dampened with fresh washing solution.

7.Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp cloth or sponge. The base contains electrical components: do not immerse, use a high-pressure washer, or use a dishwasher

to clean the base.

2.Fill container with sanitizing solution (See “Recommended Sanitizing Solution” below) and place on base.

3.Replace cover and filler cap and run on LOW (except model 901) speed for 2 minutes. Empty container.

4.Wipe the container exterior with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with sanitizing solution.

5.Immerse the cover and filler cap in sanitizing solution for two minutes.

6.Remove any remaining moisture from cutter assembly by replacing container on base with cover and filler cap in place. Then run blender

on HiGH (except model 901) speed for a minimum of 2 minutes.

7.To dry, place empty container on base and run on HIGH (except model 901) speed for two seconds.

8.When ready to use, rinse with clean water.

NOTE: Do not rinse container, cover or filler cap after sanitizing.

Recommended Sanitizing Solution:

The sanitizing solution should consist of 1 tablespoon of household bleach per 1 gallon of clean, cool water (60° F, 16° C) mixed according to the instructions on the bleach. When using a sanitizing solution other than that recommended, the sanitizing solution concentration should be tested using commercially available test strips and should indicate a concentration between 100 and 200 parts per million of bleach to water.
