• Thicker Smoothie: To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen
ingredients.
• Thinner Smoothie: To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid
ingredients.
• Always add liquid ingredients to the mixing jar fi rst and then add
remaining ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear on the
motor and ensure that the ingredients are properly blended.
• Cut harder foods (e.g. cheese) into approximately 1 inch cubes to
achieve better chopping results.
• The stir stick may be used to assist in making frozen drinks or for
blending any other types of ingredients. When the stir stick is not being used,
be sure to place the clear lid cover over the hole in the center of the lid.
• When chopping dry ingredients such as bread crumbs, nuts, spices,
etc., make sure that the mixing jar (or food processor goblet)
and blade bases are completely dry.
• The PULSE button should be operated in short bursts. As the PULSE
button is pressed and released, the blades should stop rotating
between pulses.
• Do not attempt to mix or knead heavy dough, mash potatoes or
beat egg whites.
• Do not over-blend foods. Most ingredients should be properly blended or
chopped in seconds. Do not operate motor base for longer than 3 minutes
at a time.
• If the motor stalls, turn off and unplug the unit. Remove a
portion of the ingredients before attempting to continue.
• Do not add boiling liquids to the glass mixing jar or food processor goblet.
• If the blades on the food processor attachment do not spin, unplug
the unit and re-assemble the food processor by following the steps listed on
page 12.
