Remarks
When placing ingredients into the blender container,
place liquids first.
When placing ingredients into the blender container,
place liquids first.
When using ingredients with less water content, the
blade will be idle. In that case, add liquid or use the
tamper to circulate.
Use the tamper to help circulate when using
ingredients with lower water contents such as boiled
spinach, pumpkin. If additional water is added with
such ingredients, it is easy to form a puree.
If the tamper does not reach ingredients, add
ingredients.
When blending soups, temperature of the blender
container will increase. Be careful when removing the
blender container and taking out the mixture.
Ingredients that cannot be eaten raw such as potatos,
beans, onions, meat and fish, should be pre-cooked
before blending.
When using starchy ingredients such as potatos,
pumpkin, beans with starch, oatmeal or rice, lower
the time setting by one bar.
Make sure the time setting is correct.
Keep an eye on the blender while in use.
・ Make sure the blender container is completely dry
before adding ingredients.
・ When nuts are blended too long, they may become
buttered.
・ Before additional blending, scrape off the nuts from the
inner side of the blender container.
・ When freezing ingredients, spread them out flat so
that they do not touch each other.
・ Thaw frozen ingredients at room temperature until a
fork can penetrate to their centers.
・ Mash the ingredients with the tamper during blending.
Hold the cover to avoid moving or tilting.
It is easy to mash fruit that is partially thawed.
