Blending Tips

Liquids
Put liquids into the jar first, unless the recipe says otherwise. Add more liquid if
ingredients are not blending properly.
Using the Filler Cap
Do not remove the lid while in use. Instead, open the filler cap to add smaller
ingredients.
Ice Crushing
Without Liquid: use pulse button until you achieve desired results.
With Liquid: Add desired amount of ice cubes and water until ice floats. Blend
on High until you achieve desired results then strain off water.
Working with Hot Foods or Liquids
WARNING:
vent steam. Tilt the lid away from you partially covering the opening. Keep
hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening to prevent
possible burns.
When you work with HOT LIQUIDS, remove the filler cap and start at a
low speed, and then gradually increase to a faster speed. Do not add liquid
over the 4 cup (1L) level. Always keep hands away from steam.
Ingredient Quantities
Use only the amount of food suggested in the recipes. If you want greater
amounts, prepare in batches. Using larger amounts may overload and strain
the motor. You might also get different results from those described.
