Tips
• For thorough blending, add liquid
portion of recipe last (such as milk
to ice cream for a milk shake).
Exception: When blending a
powdered mix with a liquid, add
liquid first and then powder (such as
milk for a diet drink or water for a
soup mix).
• When processing bread, cracker and
cookie crumbs or chopping nuts, use
a heavyweight food-safe plastic bag
or covered container (see page 4).
• Cut all solids – cooked meats,
vegetables and fruit – into
approximately 1-inch pieces before
blending.
• Remember: The blender performs
its tasks in seconds – not minutes.
Stop blender and check the
consistency before contents become
too fine or overblended.
• Do not overload the motor with
extra-heavy loads such as stiff dough,
cream cheese dips or butter.
• If blending action in container
should stop during processing
before mixture is smooth, unplug
unit and remove ingredients from
blade with rubber spatula. Plug in
unit to complete blending.
• It may be necessary to stop blending
action and remove blade-end from
ingredients and reinsert several
times before mixture becomes
smooth.

Splatter-Free Blending Tips:
1. Avoid lifting unit out of ingredients
while motor is on.
2. To prevent spillage: fill a container
about two-thirds full. Suggested
containers: use a tall plastic cup for
individual servings of drinks or
shakes. For larger blending, use
mixing bowl or measuring cup with
a 2-cup capacity or larger.
