Operating Do's And Don'ts - Oster Kitchen Center Recipes & Instructions

OPERATING DO'S AND
D O :
1. Use only the line voltage and frequency as specified on bottom of Motor Base.
2. Always operate your unit on a clean, dry surface to prevent air from carrying
foreign material or water into the motor.
3. PUT PORTIONS OF RECIPES INTO THE CONTAINER FIRST
unless the instructions in recipes specify otherwise.
4. Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish and seafoods into pieces
no larger than
no larger than 1 inch
Use rubber spatula to push ingredients to be chopped into liquid portion of
recipe ONLY when motor is OFF
6. Place cover firmly on the container before starting, and rest hand on the
container cover when starting and running motor.
7. Remove heavy dips and spreads, nut butters, mayonnaise and products of
similar consistency by removing the processing assembly and pushing the
mixture out through the bottom opening into serving dishes or storage
container.
6. Pour mixtures of liquid or semi-liquid consistency, such as pancake batters,
from the container.
9. When processing hot ingredients, remove the feeder cap to allow steam to
escape and prevent ingredients from erupting.
10. Increase speed if the motor seems to labor when processing to prevent
overloading of the motor.
11. Use a "Mini-Blend" container or
citrus rind, coffee beans or cereal grains. USE ONLY GLASS BLENDER
CONTAINER to process whole spices and hard cheeses.
DON'T:
1. DON'T process mixtures too long. Remember, the blender performs its tasks
in seconds, not minutes. It is better to stop and check the consistency after a
few seconds than to overblend and have a mushy or too finely ground product.
2. DON'T overload the motor with extra-heavy or extra-large loads. If the motor
stalls turn off immediately, unplug cord from outlet, and remove a portion of
the load before beginning again.
3. DON'T put ice cubes into the container without at least one cup (250mL) of
liquid. Ice cubes will not process properly without liquid.
4. DON'T attempt to remove the container from the motor base or replace it until
the motor has coasted to a complete stop. Blender parts can be damaged.
5. DON'T remove the container cover while processing, as food spillage can
occur. Use the Feeder Cap opening to add ingredients.
6. DON'T place or store agitator blades or assembly on the blender base without
first correctly assembling to the container. Severe injury can result if the
blender is accidentally turned on.
7. DON'T use any utensils, including spatulas, in the container while the motor is
running. They can catch in the moving blades, break the container and cause
severe injury.
6. DON'T use ANY jar not recommended by manufacturer for processing foods.
Jars other than manufacturer jars can break or loosen during processing and
cause severe injury.
9. DON'T use "Mini-Blend" containers for processing whole spices or hard
cheeses, as they can break the container and cause severe injury.
