Placing Blender into Operation
Make sure that the switch is in the off
position, “O/Off.” Unwind the electrical cord
to the necessary length and plug into wall
outlet. The blender is now ready for
operation.
Normally when blending, the blender jar
should be filled with the entire amount of
material to be blended, if possible, before
switching the appliance on. The cover and
cover closure should always be in place after
filling the blender jar and before switching
the power unit to On. Any subsequent
additions to the blended material should be
made through the cover opening, see figure
12. For solids and/or granular material,
remove the cover closure/funnel to add the
material, as shown in figure 12a. For liquids,
the closure/funnel may be left in place and
the liquids added by pouring it into the
closure/funnel, see figure 12b.
Example of Use of Blender
To familiarize you with the operation of the
blender, a sample recipe for mayonnaise is
provided below:
Mayonnaise Recipe
1 whole egg
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice or light
vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2/3 cup of vegetable oil
Mix all ingredients, except final 2/3’s cup
of oil, for a few seconds at speed 1, then
quickly pour the oil in through the opening
in the cover in a uniformly thick stream, as
shown in figure 14b. Operate the blender at
speeds 1 or 4 until mixture is thick and
smooth (approximately 10-20 seconds).
Makes 1 1/4 cups.

Tips:
The blender should be operated with careful
consideration as to what is required and/or
desired. The speed at which the blender is
operated and the length of operation for a
given job will depend upon the degree of
fineness desired or the amount being
blended.
