Blending Tips
• For best results, place ice or frozen ingredients in jar first so when
turned upside down to blend, ice will be on the top.
• Do not chop or process hard foods such as cheese, crackers, or meat.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides
of the jar, turn blender OFF. Remove jar, blade with collar and use a
narrow rubber spatula to stir.
• Do not process hot foods or liquids in blender.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender.
• If blender stops working, unplug and allow 15 minutes before using.
Plug into outlet to start blending.
3. Plug into outlet. Turn
control dial to the right for
low and high speeds or left
for pulsing. Blend 15 to 30
seconds or until smooth.
Hold jar in place while
blending. Always operate
on a countertop or other
supporting surface.
