OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wet Blade Container
Designed for processing liquids including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purées, batters, and for
wet chopping.
1.
Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is set to 1
.
2.
Load the container before placing it on the motor base. Place liquids and soft foods in the container
first, solid items and ice last. Although not necessary for blending, you may want to cut or break food
into smaller pieces for more precise measuring of ingredient
s.
3.
Securely fasten the 2-Part lid. Always use the complete 2-Part lid when blending (unless the tamper is
inserted through the lid plug opening). Especially when blending hot ingredients, make sure that the lid is
securely latched.
4.
With the motor off, set the wet blade container on the motor base by aligning it over the centering pad.
Never attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a
container properly in place
.
5. Start with the On/Off Switch in the On position. Always start your machine on variable speed 1.
Activate the machine by lifting up the Start/Stop Switch to the Start ( ) position and slowly increase
the variable speed to the desired speed. Your container will shift and get into an aligned position.
6. If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. If inserting the tamper through the lid
plug while blending does not release it, reduce the speed on the dial to variable speed 5. Use the tamper
to stir until it “burps.” If these methods do not work, stop the motor, remove the container from the motor
base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away from the blades. Return the container to the
motor base, replace the lid, and continue blending.
7.
Take proper care when handling and processing hot ingredients and making hot soups and sauces
.
8.
Due to the machine’s speed, processing times are much quicker than standard appliances. Until you are
accustomed to the machine, count your time carefully to avoid over-processing
.
9.
After turning the machine off, wait until the blades completely stop before removing the lid or container
from the motor bas
e.
Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with
Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.
Use Caution; escaping steam or
splashes may scald.
Lock the lid. This will prevent
expansion from affecting the
position of the lid when the
machine is turned on.
Start on Variable 1, slowly
increase to 10.
