Blending Tips
• Put liquids in the Jar first, unless a recipe says
otherwise.
• Crushing ice: Crush 6 ice cubes or approximately 2 cups
of ice at a time.
• This Blender has been designed to gently process foods
when operating at low speeds. If blades do not rotate
during operation, simply choose a higher speed.
• Do not remove the Lid while in use. Remove Feeder
Cap to add smaller ingredients. (Figure 1)
• Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish
and seafood into pieces no larger than 1.8 cm (3/4 inch)
to 2.5 cm (1 inch). Cut all kinds of cheeses into pieces
no larger than 1.8 cm (3/4 inch).
• This Blender will not mash potatoes, whip egg whites or substitute dairy
toppings, mix stiff dough or grind raw meat.
