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″ (25 mm) 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.

• Do not exceed 1 quart (1 liter) 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 very large

ice cubes. The blender is not designed for this.
Regular-sized ice cubes or crushed ice is
recommended. Pour in liquid; then add ice. Cover.
Set speed at HI/2 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 (1 liter) 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 buildup of
pressure.

• Never stand with your face directly over the
container when operating the blender where
steam may be released.

• Begin on LO/1 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.

wWARNING

Burn Hazard

Always use caution when blending
hot contents.

Failure to follow these instructions
can result in burns.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning Instructions

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 nonsudsing
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 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 and do not use
a high-pressure washer or dishwasher to clean
the base.

Sanitizing

1. Wash container as instructed in “General

cleaning.”

2. Fill container with sanitizing solution (see

“Recommended Sanitizing Solution” below)
and place on base.

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.
