Blending Tips - Oster VERSA User Manual

Blending Tips

• Do not operate for more than 10 minutes at a time
• Jar should be at least 25% full at all times for optimal performance
• Filler cap should always be assembled to the lid and locked when blending
hot liquids.
• Use High speeds as much as possible for whole food juices, soups,
shakes, frozen mixtures, making purees and nut butters. Processing times
will generally be less than one minute (most take less than 30
seconds). High speed provides the best quality of refinement, breaking down
ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables or a smooth lump-free consistency.
• Never blend without the lid firmly in place on the jar.
• If on High speed the food is not circulating, try using the tamper. If this is also
not working, try using a slower speed. Once the food begins to circulate again,
you can switch back to a High speed.
• A Quick Response code is located on the back of the base of the unit. Using the
Microsoft Tag application on your smart phone, scan that tag to be directed
®
to the product page to find pertinent product information such as instruction
manuals, replacement parts, customer service, recipes, etc.
• Due to the power of the machine, it is normal for it to be fairly loud during
operation. Through the blending cycle, the noises may change, but there is no
need to be concerned.
I ce Crushing: For optimal ice crushing, fill the jar with preferred amount of ice.
Then fill with water just above where the ice stops. Use the speed dial to blend
on High for a few seconds. Then drain out the excess water and you are left
with a jar filled with great consistent ice!
if the unit Stops Working:
Fuse/Overload Protection – The motor is designed to protect itself from
overheating. When necessary, the motor will turn itself off.
1. Turn control knob to "Off" and unplug from the electrical outlet
2. Remove jar from base and free blade of any obstructions
3. Press external resettable fuse button on the bottom of the base
4. Wait 30-45 minutes for the unit to cool
If the warning light flashes and the motor will not run with the jar in place,
the unit has not cooled sufficiently. Turn the control knob to "Off" and wait
another 10-20 minutes before trying again.
