TIPS FOR GENERAL OPERATION
• Thicker Smoothies: To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen
ingredients.
• Thinner Smoothies: To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid
ingredients.
• Always add liquid ingredients to the glass mixing jar first and then add
remaining ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear on the motor and
ensure that the ingredients are properly blended.
• Cut harder foods (e.g. cheese) into approximately 1 inch cubes to
achieve better chopping results.
• The stir stick may be used to assist in making frozen drinks or for blending
any other types of ingredients. When the stir stick is not being used, be sure
to place the clear lid cover over the hole in the center of the lid.
• When chopping dry ingredients such as bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc.,
make sure that the glass mixing jar and blade base is completely dry.
• The PULSE button should be operated in short bursts. As the PULSE
button is pressed and released, the blades should stop rotating between
pulses.
• Do not attempt to mix or knead heavy dough, mash potatoes or beat egg
whites.
• Do not over-blend foods. Most ingredients should be properly blended or
chopped in seconds. Do not operate motor base for longer than 3 minutes
at a time.
• If the motor stalls, turn off and unplug the unit. Remove a portion of the
ingredients before attempting to continue.
• Do not add boiling liquids to the glass mixing jar.
