BleNdiNG Tips aNd TecHNiQUes
•	 Cut	food	into	pieces	no	larger	than	¾-inch	for	use	in	the	blender.
•	 When	preparing	foods	that	have	several	different	kinds	of	ingredients,	 always	add	liquid	ingredients	first.
•	 When	ingredients	splatter	onto	the	sides	of	the	jar	or	the	mixture	is	very	 thick,	press	the	oFF	button	to	turn	appliance	off.		Remove	the	lid	and	use	
a	rubber	spatula	to	scrape	down	the	sides	of	the	jar	and	to	redistribute	
the	food	pushing	food	toward	the	blades.		Replace	the	lid	and	continue	
blending.
important\b Bl\fnd\fr should always hav\f lid in plac\f wh\fn in us\f.
caution\b do not plac\f bl\fnding jar on bas\f wh\m\fn motor is running. •	 The	lid	cap	holds	up	to	1½	oz.	liquid	and	can	be	used	as	a	measure	and	when	adding	ingredients	
such	as	juices,	milk,	cream	and	liquor	(e).
•	 When	making	bread	crumbs,	chopping	nuts	or	 grinding	coffee	beans	make	sure	blending	jar	is	
completely	dry.
•	 When	using	Pulse	function	use	short	bursts.	Allow	 the	blades	to	stop	rotating	between	pulses.	do	not	
use	Pulse	for	more	than	2	minutes.
•	 Use	the	Pulse	button	to	begin	the	blending	process	when	preparing	 beverages	that	include	ice	cubes;	this	helps	to	produce	a	smoother	texture.
•	 The	PUlse	function	is	helpful	when	short	bursts	of	power	are	needed	 such	as	when	preparing	thick	smoothies	or	milkshakes,	chopping	nuts	or	
grinding	coffee	beans.
•	 It	is	helpful	to	begin	the	blending	process	on	the	lowest	speed	and	then	 increase	to	a	higher	speed,	if	necessary.
