Wet Blade Container
Designed for processing liquids including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purées,
batters, and for wet chopping.
1. Make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is set to 1.
2. Load the container before placing it on the motor base. Place liquids and soft
foods in the container first, solid items and ice last. Although not necessary
for blending, you may want to cut or break food into smaller pieces for more
precise measuring of ingredients.
3.
Securely fasten the 2-Part lid. Always use the complete 2-Part lid when
blending (unless the tamper is inserted through the lid plug opening).
Especially when blending hot ingredients, make sure that the lid is securely
latched.
4. With the motor off, set the wet blade container on the motor base by aligning
it over the centering pad.
Never attempt to put a container on an operating motor base or to operate a
motor base without a container properly in place.
5.
Start with the On/Off Switch in the On position. Always start your machine
on variable speed 1. Activate the machine by lifting up the Start/Stop Switch
to the Start ( ) position and slowly increase the variable speed to the desired
speed. Your container will shift and get into an aligned position.
6.
If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. If
inserting the tamper through the lid plug while blending does not release it,
reduce the speed on the dial to variable speed 5. Use the tamper to stir until it
"burps." If these methods do not work, stop the motor, remove the container
from the motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away
from the blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and
continue blending.
7. Take proper care when handling and processing hot ingredients and making
hot soups and sauces.

from affecting the position of the lid
