Do's And Don'ts - Oster BLSTTG-PB0 Instruction Manual

Do's:
• Use only the line voltage and frequency as specified on the bottom of the Blender.
• Always operate Blender on a clean, dry surface to prevent air from carrying foreign material
or water into the motor.
• Put liquid portions of recipes into Blender jar first unless the instructions in recipes
specify otherwise.
• Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish and seafoods into pieces no larger
than 3/4 inch/1.8 cm to 1 inch/2.5 cm. Cut all kinds of cheeses into pieces no larger
than 3/4 inch/1.8 cm.
• Use rubber spatula to push ingredients to be chopped into liquid portion of recipe ONLY
when motor is OFF.
• Place cover firmly on Blender jar before starting, and rest hand on the jar cover when starting
and running motor.
• 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 jar.
• Pour mixture of liquid or semi-liquid consistency, such as muffin and cake batter, from
Blender jar.
• Allow cooked vegetables and broth to cool before pouring into Blender jar for processing.
• If the motor seems to labor when processing at one of the lower speeds, switch to the next higher
speed to prevent overloading the motor.
• Use a Mini Jar or 5-cup/1.2 liter blender jar to process citrus rind, coffee beans or cereal grains.
Use only glass Blender jar to process whole spices and hard cheese.
Don'ts:
• Do Not expect your Blender to replace all of your kitchen appliances. It will not: mash potatoes,
whip egg whites or substitutes for dairy toppings, grind raw meat, knead or mix stiff dough
or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
• Do Not 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.
• Do Not 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.
• Do Not attempt to remove Blender jar from motor base or replace it until the motor has come to a
complete stop. Blender parts can be damaged.
• Do Not remove jar cover while processing, as food spillage can occur. Use feeder cap opening to
add ingredients.
• Do Not place or store processing assembly on motor base without first correctly assembling
to Blender jar. Severe injury can result if Blender is accidentally turned on.
• Do Not use any utensil, including spatulas, in the jar while the motor is running. They can catch
in the moving blades, break the jar and cause severe injury.
• Do Not use ANY jar not recommended by the manufacturer for processing foods. Other jars may
break or loosen during processing and cause severe injury.
• Do Not use Mini Jars for processing whole spices (except peppercorns) or hard cheeses, as they
can break the Mini Jars and cause injury.
