• When mixing solid ingredients, cut them up into
small pieces (1 inch).
• Always start by mixing solid ingredients with a
small amount of liquid. Then gradually add more
liquid.
• When pureeing solid ingredients, feed small
portions into the pitcher (4/4a) gradually rather
than adding a large quantity at one time.
• If blending action stops during blending or
ingredients stick to sides of the pitcher, there may
not be enough liquid to blend efficiently.
• Use the pulse mode when mixing solid or highly
viscous ingredients to avoid the blade becoming
stagnant

low speed level.
