When the blender is being used on dry
materials, such as nuts or dry bread, the
best results will be obtained when the
blender jar is filled with approximately 1/2
cup of material to be blended.
If the blender does not start (even after trying
the highest speed) and it is humming, the
blade has become blocked by the contents.
The power unit should be:
1. Switched to off, “O/Off,” and unplugged.
2. The mixture should be removed and the
contents at the bottom of the jar
loosened.
If power unit is not functioning see
TROUBLESHOOTING section.
Removing Contents
Before beginning to remove the contents
from the blender, make sure that the power
unit has been turned to the Off position,
“O/Off,” and unplugged. Remove the blender
from the power unit by turning the blender
counterclockwise while lifting. With the
blender removed from the power unit, the
contents of the blender may now be poured
into a suitable container or bowl, as desired.
Care and Cleaning of Blender
All components of the blender, except the
blender jar/blade assembly, are dishwasher
safe. It is recommended that the blender
jar/blade assembly be cleaned only under
flowing water rather than in the dishwasher.
Soap and detergent will tend to wash out
the bearing lubricant of the blade/base
assembly. Do not use scouring cleaners on
any of the blender parts.
With the power unit turned Off and
unplugged, it should be cleaned only with
a clean, damp cloth. Then wipe off the safety
motor drive cover and reinstall on the power
unit, if necessary. Never use coarse or
caustic cleaning products to clean the
power unit. Never immerse the power unit
in water.
the closure/funnel may be left in place and
the liquids added by pouring it into the
closure/funnel, see figure 11a.
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 11a. Operate the blender at
highest speed 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.
