Hints For Best Use; Maintaining Your Blender - Oster BLSTDP-W00 Instruction Manual

• Processing hot foods or liquids in the blender may cause hot liquid to spurt out when the cover is re-
moved. Always lift the snap-open spout located on the lid before blending hot foods or liquids. WARN-
ING: When you work with HOT LIQUIDS, flip the jar lid open and start at a low speed, and gradually
increase to a faster speed. Do not add liquid over the 1.0-liter/4 cup level. Always keep hands and
exposed skin away from steam. Start blending at lowest speed. Jar will become hot from hot contents.
(Please review Important Safeguards section.)
• To add liquids and small ingredients when blender is operating, lift the snap-open spout and add
ingredients through the opening.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to the sides of the jar, turn blender off.
Remove the cover and use a rubber spatula to push mixture towards blades.
• If using your blender to make salsa or other recipes using tomatoes, onions and other vegetables, you
may have better results using a slower speed function or the pulse function.
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind corn,
raw meat or extract juices from fruits and vegetables. The blender was not
made to perform these tasks.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender.
To reduce the risk of injury:
• Do not leave the blade on a surface or allow it to be exposed.
• Assemble the blade in the glass before placing it on the base.

glass.
Be careful if hot liquid is poured into the food processor or blender, as this can be ejected out of the
apparatus due to sudden steam.
