Care and Cleaning

The Blender pitcher, accessory jar, locking collar and blade assembly can be easily cleaned as individual components or together without disassembly.

• Clean the Blender thoroughly after every use

• Do not immerse the Blender base or cord in water

• Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads

To Clean Individual Components

1. Lift the pitcher or accessory jar

assembly in a straight, upwards motion off the Blender base. Then, while holding locking collar, rotate pitcher or accessory jar counterclockwise, two clicks, to separate locking collar and blade assembly, and sealing ring from the pitcher or accessory jar. Wash components with soapy water. Rinse and wipe dry.

NOTE: Pitcher can be placed in the bottom rack of an automatic dishwasher. The accessory jar, both lid(s), ingredient cup, drizzle cap, locking collar and blade assembly, and sealing ring can be put in the top rack. For best results, hand washing is recommended.

To Clean Without Disassembly

1. Put the pitcher or accessory jar on the Blender base, fill half full with warm (not hot) water, and add 1 or 2 drops of dishwashing liquid. Put the lid on the pitcher or accessory jar, press the STIR speed setting, and run the Blender for 5 to 10 seconds. Remove the pitcher or accessory jar and empty contents. Rinse with warm water until clean.

2. To clean the lid(s), ingredient cup and drizzle cap, wash in warm soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

3. Wipe the Blender base and cord with a warm, sudsy cloth; wipe clean with a damp cloth, and dry with a soft cloth.

is, press OFF, then unplug the Blender. Plug it back into the same outlet. If the Blender still does not work, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the Blender is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed.

The Blender may be overloaded. If the Blender becomes overloaded when blending heavy ingredients, it will automatically shut off to avoid damage to the motor. Press OFF to reset the Blender and unplug the power cord. Remove the pitcher or accessory jar assembly from the base and divide contents into smaller batches. Adding liquid to the ingredients may also reduce the load on the Blender.

The Blender may be jammed. If it’s jammed, the Blender will stop running to avoid damage to the motor. Press OFF to reset the Blender and unplug the power cord. Remove the pitcher or accessory jar assembly from the base and with a scraper, free the blades by breaking-up or removing the contents at the bottom of the pitcher or accessory jar.

The Blender turns on, but blades will not rotate:

Blender Tips

Quick Tips

• In order to produce a smoother texture, blend with CRUSH ICE if you’re making beverages using ice.

• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or crushed faster than large ones.

• Add food to this glass Blender pitcher in larger quantities than you would with other blenders – you can add 2 to 3 cups (475 to 710 ml) at a time, and use accessory jar for smaller portions.

• For many ingredient mixtures, start the blending process at STIR to thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then increase to a higher speed, if necessary.

• Be sure to keep lid on pitcher or accessory jar while blending.

• If desired, remove center ingredient cup or drizzle cap of the pitcher or accessory jar lid to add liquids or ice cubes while the Blender is operating on STIR, CHOP or MIX speeds.

• When operating at higher speeds with a full pitcher or accessory jar or with hot contents, stop the Blender and then add ingredients.

• Stop the Blender before using utensils in the pitcher or accessory jar. Use a rubber spatula to mix ingredients only when the Blender is OFF. To avoid damaging the utensil or blender blades, do not use any utensil, including spatulas, in the pitcher or accessory jar while the motor is running.

• Cool hot foods, if possible, before blending. Begin blending warm foods on STIR. Increase to higher speed, if necessary.

• Remove center ingredient cup or drizzle cap when blending hot liquids and operate only on STIR. Do not place bare hand on lid when processing hot liquids.

• Stop and check the consistency of foods after a few seconds to avoid over-processing.

How To ... Reconstitute frozen juice: For a 6 oz.

(175 ml) can of orange juice concentrate, combine the juice and correct amount of water in the pitcher. Cover and blend at MIX until thoroughly combined, about 10 to 15 seconds.

For a 12 oz. (355 ml) can, combine the juice and 1 can of water in the pitcher. Cover and blend on MIX until thoroughly combined, about 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in remaining 2 cans of water.

Dissolve flavored gelatin: Pour boiling water into the pitcher or accessory jar; add gelatin. Remove center ingredient cup and blend on STIR until gelatin is dissolved, about 10 to 30 seconds. Add other ingredients.

Make cookie and graham cracker crumbs: Break larger cookies into pieces

about 1½ inches (3.75 cm) in diameter. Use smaller cookies as-is. Place in pitcher or accessory jar. In PULSE MODE, cover and blend on CHOP, pulsing a few times, about 3 seconds each time, until desired consistency is reached. Use the crumbs to make a quick topping for frozen yogurt, pudding, or a fruit compote.

To make finer crumbs for pie and dessert crusts, break graham crackers or cookies into pieces about 1½ inches (3.75 cm) in diameter and place in the pitcher or accessory jar. In PULSE MODE, cover and blend on LIQUEFY, pulsing a few times until desired consistency is reached, about 20 to 30 seconds.

Make cracker crumbs: Follow procedure for cookies. Use as a topping or as an ingredient in main dish casseroles and vegetable dishes.

Make bread crumbs: Tear bread into pieces about 1½ inches (3.75 cm) in diameter. Follow procedure for cookies. Use as a topping or as an ingredient in main dish casseroles and vegetable dishes.
