Wet Blade Container
The Wet Blade Container is designed for processing liquids, including juice,
frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purées, batters, and for wet chopping.
Before using this container for Programs or the Variable Speed option, always
begin with the Variable Speed Dial pointed at the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of
the dial.
1. Move the On / O switch to the On position.
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 ingredients.
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 o, set the wet blade container on the motor base by
aligning it over the centering pad. Do not ever attempt to put a container
on an operating motor base or to operate a motor base without a container
properly in place.
5. Use the Variable Speed dial to select a function.
• Variable Speed - Rotate the dial right of center to Variable Speed 1.
• Programs - Rotate the dial left of center to the desired program.
6. Activate the blades by pressing the Start / Stop Switch. Your container may
shift as it gets into an aligned position.
• Variable Speed - slowly rotate the Variable Speed dial to the right to the
desired speed.
• Programs - The programs vary in blending speed and duration and
will automatically stop at the end of the program. Programs can be
interrupted by pushing down the Start / Stop switch at any time. If
reactivated by pushing down the Start / Stop switch, the program will
start at the beginning.
7. If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To
resolve Insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it “burps.” If
this does not work, press the On / O switch to 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.
