TIPS:
• Use low speed settings (1-3) when blending
drinks and other blended items.
• Use medium speed settings (4-6) when
frozen blending, ice crushing or grinding dry
ingredients.
• Use high speed settings (7-10) when creating
purees such as sauces, dips and restaurant
quality glazes. Top blades are needed to power
through tough ingredients like ice, solid fruits
and vegetables. If silky smooth results are
desired, push down on the power toggle to turn
off the power, carefully remove the top blades,
replace the lid and continue processing.
• For softer ingredients, the bottom fixed blades
are enough to fully process in one step.
