NOTESBLENDER TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
CARE AND CLEANING
For quicker, easier blending, cut food into 2-in. long pieces before adding to blender
jar. To chop or grate either fresh or frozen fruit, cut fruit into pieces about 3/4 -inch
long.
To best circulate foods or fruit that are to be blended with liquid, pour the liquid into
the jar first, then add the solid foods or fruit.
The following tasks cannot be performed efficiently with a blender: beating egg
whites, whipping cream, mashing potatoes, grinding meats, mixing dough, and
extracting juices from fruit and vegetables.
The following items should never be placed in the blender jar, as they can cause
damage: bones, large pieces of solid frozen foods, or dense, tough foods such as
turnips.
CRUSHING ICE
To crush ice, ALWAYS have liquid in the jar. Start out with 2 cups
of liquid, and add about 2 cups of ice cubes. Hold one hand firmly on the lid.
Push the Ice Crush button.
If more ice is needed, remove the measuring cup in the middle of the lid and add cubes
one at a time through the hole in the lid. DO NOT CRUSH ICE WITHOUT LIQUID.
1. Before cleaning, unplug the blender.
2. Rinse parts (jar with fixed blade assembly, jar lid and measuring cup, and single
serving cup blade assembly) immediately after blending for easier clean up.
3. All removable parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. The jar lid and
measuring cup, and single serve lid and blade assembly should be placed in the
top rack only. Disassemble all parts from each other before placing in the
dishwasher. The jar with fixed blade assembly and single serve cup are bottom
rack dishwasher-safe. Do not place the jar or any other parts in boiling liquids.
4. The motor base is designed to be resistant to liquids. If liquids spill into the
motor base:
• Unplug the motor base.
• Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• NEVER immerse the motor base in water.
5. Do not use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners on motor base as finish may
become scratched or damaged.
CAUTION: Failure to follow all of the above directions can result in damage
to the blades, jar, blender motor, and possibly result in personal injury.
CAUTION: The blender blades are sharp. Be very careful when washing
them by hand to avoid being cut.
