TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
QUICK TIPS
• If you're making beverages using ice,
start with Crush ice, then finish with
Speed 5 in order to produce a smoother
texture.
• Ice directly from the freezer will crush
better than partially melted ice for snow.
• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or
crushed faster than large ones.
• For many ingredient mixtures, start
the blending process at Speed 1 to
thoroughly combine the ingredients.
Then increase to a higher speed,
as desired.
• If desired, remove centre ingredient cup
of pitcher lid to add liquids or ice cubes
while the Blender is operating at Speeds
1, 2, or 3.
• The Soft Start blending feature
automatically starts the Blender at a
lower speed to draw ingredients into
the blades, then quickly increases
to the selected speed for optimal
performance. The Soft Start blending
feature only works when a speed
is selected and does not work with
the Pulse ( ) mode or Crush ice (
features.
• Stop the Blender before using utensils
in the pitcher. Use a rubber spatula to
mix ingredients only when the Blender
is off. Never use any utensil, including
spatulas, in the pitcher while the motor
is running.
• Cool hot foods, if possible, before
blending. Begin blending warm foods
at Speed 1. Increase to higher speeds,
one at a time, if necessary.
• When blending hot foods or liquids,
do not fill the blender pitcher to the
top. Secure the lid, remove the centre
ingredient cup, and place a towel over
the lid. Operate only on Speed 1. Do
not place bare hand on pitcher lid when
processing hot foods or liquids.
