Accelerator Tool

The accelerator tool prevents an air bubble from
forming while blending and allows for the processing of
very thick and/or difficult-to-process frozen mixtures.
While the machine is running, use the accelerator tool
to push ingredients into the blades.
Using the Accelerator Tool:
• If thick mixtures stop circulating, you may
have trapped an air bubble. Insert the accelerator
tool through the lid and stir to release it.
• Use it only with the lid locked in place and
lid plug removed.
• The splash disk (near the top of the accelerator tool) and
lid prevent the accelerator tool from hitting the blades.
• The container should not be more than
2⁄3 full when the accelerator tool is used.
• Do not use the accelerator tool for more than 30
consecutive seconds (to avoid overheating).
• Holding the accelerator tool straight should allow
extra-thick ingredients to circulate. If not, point
the accelerator tool toward the side or corner
of the container.
WARNINGS!
Do not force the accelerator tool into the container. Excessive force may
cause the accelerator tool to extend too far into the container and may
cause damage to the blades.
Do not use the older accelerator tool that has a straight and smooth surface
and no "step." Use of the older model may cause damage to the blades.
When processing hot liquids or mixtures:
• The two-part latching lid must be securely locked in place. Do not use the one
piece lid or a non-latching lid. This allows steam to escape naturally and will
prevent the lid from coming off when the machine is turned on.
• Do not start processing hot liquids on high speed. Always start processing hot
liquids on low speed, then switch to high speed while the machine is running.
• U se caution with hot liquids. Liquids may spray from under the lid plug or
escaping steam may cause scalding.
