TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Quick tips

• If you're making beverages using ice,
start with CRUSH ICE (Triturar Gelo), then
finish with LIQUIFY (Liquefazer) in order to
produce a smoother texture�
• Ice directly from the freezer will crush
better than partially melted ice for snow�
• Smaller ice cubes can be chopped or
crushed faster than large ones�
• For many ingredient mixtures, start
the blending process at CHOP (Picar) to
thoroughly combine the ingredients� Then
increase to a higher speed, as desired�
