Page 7: Using Your Product
Using your Product Tamper – The tamper allows you to accelerate the process of very thick and/ or frozen mixtures that cannot be processed in a regular blender. If food is not circulating the machine may be overloaded or may have a trapped air bubble. Using the tamper helps to maintain circulation by preventing air pockets from forming. While the machine is running, remove the filler cap, and through the hole in the lid insert the tamper and use it to press ingredients onto the blades as you make frozen ice creams, nut butters, etc. The container should not be more than 2/3 full when the tamper is used during blending. Do not use tamper for more than 30 consecutive seconds (to avoid stressing the motor). You may need to move the tamper not only up and down, but also side to side. Jar Sensor – The unit is supplied with a jar sensor on the base. This will prevent the motor or the control panel from starting if the blender jar is not properly placed on the base. If the jar is removed from the base during operation the unit will stop. To restart the blender, turn the speed dial to “Off”, place the jar on the blender base and select the preferred speed to begin again. NOTE: The motor will not restart unless the unit is turned OFF first. -
Page 8: Blending Tips
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 fruit/vegetable juices, soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, making purées 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 to 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! Troubleshooting: 1. If the blender does not turn on: 1. Turn control knob to “OFF” position and unplug from electrical outlet. -
