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 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 versus
1 cup (235 mL) 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 while
blending.
• If desired, remove center cap of pitcher
lid to add liquids or ice cubes while the
blender is operating at STIR, CHOP or
MIX speeds.
• When operating at higher speeds with
a full pitcher or with hot contents, stop
the blender and then add ingredients.
• Stop the blender before using utensils
in the pitcher. Use a rubber spatula to
mix ingredients only when the blender
is OFF. Do not use any utensil, including
spatulas, in the pitcher while the motor
is running.
• Cool hot foods, if possible, before
blending. Begin blending warm foods
at STIR. Increase to higher speed,
if necessary.
• Remove center ingredient cap when
blending hot liquids and operate only
on STIR. Do not place bare hand on
pitcher lid when processing hot liquids.
• Stop and check the consistency of foods
after a few seconds to avoid
over-processing.
