fill container :y., full.
•For heavy loads -such as miKing cheese or meat spreads
fill Blender V4 to lI:z full. If the food mixture is too thick
or sticky. add asmall amount of liquid. With thick mix·
tures, a'ow speed gives more agitation than ahigh speed.
•Always use cover to avoid splashing.
•Start with ill to :y., cup liquid to finely chop solids. Cut or
break solids
into I" to 2" cubes. Add small amounts al
atime with blades in motion. If large chunks stop blades,
turn off Power Unit, remove chunks and cut
into smaller
pieces.
•Increase speed as load increases but avoid overtilll:ing
Power Unit.
•Overblending, like overcooking, should be avoided.
•Turn Power Unit off and wait until blades stop before
using spatula to stir, remove contents, or before taking
Blender off Surface-Plate.
• A rubber spatula should
be used to clean the walls of

3. GRATES CARROTS, COCONUT, ETC. - Cut carrots, etc.
in
I-inch pieces and add through opening in lid while
blades are in motion, using speed

speed, solids are
cut quickly. When grating solids, it is
necessary to work in small amounts.
When chopped or
•grated food covers the Blender blades,
it prevents them
from cutting. Emply Blender and repeat, if larger quan-
tities are needed.

The longer food is blended,
the more finely
it is chopped.

seroles, desserts or pie crusts. Break 3or 4crackers, or
slice
of bread in the Blender. Turn to speed 3or 4;

6. GRATES CHEESE _Add cubes of cheese, small amount
at atime. thru insert opening while blades are
