Basic Operation
First Time Cleaning
Clean your machine before the first use by adding 1-2 cups of warm water and a
few drops of your favorite liquid dishwashing detergent. Put lid and lid insert plug
in position and run at half speed for less than one minute. Remove and rinse
thoroughly in warm water. Your RPM Blender is now ready for use.
Variable Speed Control Knob
This is the knob above the ON/OFF toggle switch that runs your blender.
Turn it to the RIGHT to increase RPMs and blending power.
Turn it to the LEFT to decrease RPMs and reduce blending power.
IMPORTANT: If your blender does not start immediately, turn the variable speed
knob further to the RIGHT and make sure the toggle switch is in the ON position.
Hot Drink Instructions
Hot drinks and soups are wonderful when prepared in your blender. Since liquids
over 100º F (38º C) can scald skin and cause burns and blisters, please take the
following precautions.

1. Never look directly into the blender while the motor is running.
2. Always use the rubber lid on top of the container when working with hot liquids.
Leave the hole in the cover open to allow for the escape of hot, expanding gases.
3. Blend no more than 8 ounces of hot liquid at a given time.
4. Always start the blender at low speed and carefully increase the speed.
Ice Drink Instructions
Some of the nicest drinks you can make with your RPM Blender are frozen fruit
drinks. Specific recipes follow, but here are the general instructions.
1. Start by adding the liquid first, whether it is milk, juice, or water.
2. Cover the container securely with the rubber lid with the open hole.
3. Start the motor turning at low speed.
4. Add the ice or frozen fruit piece by piece through the hole in the top of the lid.
5. Increase speed gradually as high as necessary to crush the frozen ingredients.
6. You may use the blade wrench to tamp frozen ingredients into the liquid. Blend
for as short a time as possible. Too much blending creates friction heat that melts
the ingredients.
Tip: You can achieve desired milk shake or ice cream consistency by balancing the
liquid and frozen ingredients.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to blend ingredients that are so hard that the tip of a
sharp knife will not pierce them. Allow frozen ingredients like fruit to soften slightly
if they have been in a deep freeze. The ideal temperature for blending frozen
ingredients is 20-25º F.
Thick Drink Tamper Instructions
The tamper is used to stir thick shakes and ice drinks, puree vegetable soups, and
maintain circulation by pushing ingredients into the blades and eliminating air
pockets. It is designed to prevent any contact with the blades. If circulation stops,
angle the tamper to any side of the container and slightly increase the liquid
ingredients. Do not use the tamper when the container is more than 2/3 full.
Funnel Cone Instructions
This is the lid insert that enables you to add oils and flavor tinctures such as vanilla
while the blades are turning. It is perfect for making mayonnaise.
Grinding Coffee Beans and Nuts
Your RPM Blender will grind coffee beans, all nuts, and seeds. For small seeds such
as sesame or flax (linseed) seeds, add only enough seeds to come up to the blades.
Try not to cover the blades. Excessive amounts of small seeds can stress your
blender. For coffee beans or large nuts such as cashews, add one cup at a time. Place
the fully closed cover on the container and blend at half, then full speed if necessary.

Basic Cleaning & Care
Blades: These may be removed for cleaning. A convenient blade wrench is
included. The blades are very sharp! Use caution and hand protection. The rubber
gasket may be removed for cleaning and is replaceable. It is not recommended to
wash blades in the dishwasher. The heat, steam, and harsh detergents of an
automatic dishwasher will damage the ball bearings and remove the bearing
lubrication. Carefully wash the blade assembly by hand. Avoid letting it soak in
soapy water.
Lid and Lid Plug: Wash the lid with gentle dish washing liquid, a sponge, or a soft
dish washing brush. Do not use any abrasive cleaning tools, copper sponges, steel
wool, bleach or other strong detergent products.
Pitcher: Remove the blade assembly before washing in dishwasher. The blender
pitcher is dishwasher safe, but whenever possible keep the pitcher away from the
heating element.
Caution: Do not use any abrasive cleaning tools, copper sponges, steel wool,
bleach or other strong detergent products.
Motor base: Unplug the power cord. Then a damp cloth or sponge can be used to
clean the surface of the motor base. Clean the switches with a cloth, sponge, or a
gentle vegetable brush. Never immerse the motor base in water.

Apple Tahini ½ to 1 cup water
1/2 apple, chopped
2 to 3 Tbsp Tahini
2 Tbsp wheat germ
Start with half the water and add the other ingredients one at a time. Add the rest
of the water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Pina Colada ½ cup water
8 to 10 pineapple chunks (1 to 1½ in. thick)
4 fresh coconut chunks (1-1½ in. thick) or 2 oz coconut cream
3 Tbsp favorite rum (optional)
pinch of nutmeg
4 ice cubes

speed until the desired consistency is achieved.
Good Digestion 1 cup strawberries
1 to 2 cups grapes
1 apple, cut and cored.
2 Tbsp bran (wheat, oat or rice)
water to taste
Blend the fruits and bran together for a soothing digestive experience. Juice the
fruits in any order and blend in the bran.
Green & Nutty 1 to 2 cups water
Smoothie 8 to 10 almonds, raw
1 apple, cut and cored
1 Tbsp favorite green powder
Choose your favorite green powder from your vitamin supplements store. One
tablespoon is reportedly equivalent to eating a serving of green vegetables! Add
only one cup of water to start, then add any additional water as necessary to
achieve the desired consistency. If you like crunchier smoothies, blend the almonds
last and at low speed.
Berry Berry Rich 1 large banana (fresh or frozen-cut into chunks)
1 handful of your favorite berries (fresh or frozen)
1 cup apple juice
½ Tbsp yogurt (optional)
Fresh fruit will prepare like a drink. Frozen fruit will make a thicker shake.
Strawberries are commonly used in smoothies, but blueberries, blackberries and
raspberries also make excellent choices. Place the fruit in the blender, add part of
the apple juice and blend at low speed, increasing RPMs as needed. Add the yogurt
last if desired, and more juice to achieve desired consistency.

2 Tbsp Tamari or soy sauce
1 cup raw cabbage

Whey to Go 1 cup water
1 banana, small
2 Tbsp whey protein powder
5 to 6 Tbsp yogurt
1 Tbsp honey
3 ice cubes

Fast Mayo 1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
pinch of cayenne pepper
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 egg
1 cup olive oil or your favorite oil

water and place in blender. Put the funnel cone into the lid. With RPMs set on slow
to medium, drip in small amounts of the oil slowly while pulsing the mixture with
the power knob. Stop adding oil when mixture achieves desired consistency.
Pina-Mango 4 fresh pineapple rings (cut, fresh or frozen)
Smoothies 1 mango (skinned, cut, fresh or frozen)
1 lime (cut, peeled and pitted)
1 cup + apple juice
4 to 6 Tbsp yogurt

combination of pineapple, mango, lime and yogurt has to be tasted to be believed!
Blend lime with half of the apple juice. Add the mango, pineapple, and yogurt.
Then add small amounts of apple juice at a time to achieve the desired consistency.
For even more zing, add some ginger.
