the blending attachment
Using the blending attachment
For the most consistent results, food should be processed in small quantities and be cut
into 1 inch cubes before blending.
1. Squeeze and hold the two buttons on the side of the motor together.
2. Line up the two dots (one on each side) of the blending shaft with the buttons.
Release the two buttons. Ensure that the motor unit and the blending attachment are
correctly assembled and securely locked in position.

When pureeing food, it is important to use enough liquid (juice, milk, cream, broth, etc) to
create a smooth mixture.
• Adjust the consistency of the mixture by adding more liquids or soft solids.

• The blending attachment can be used directly in a pan though we do not recommend
that you do this in a non-stick pan to avoid damaging the pan.
