HELPFUL HINTS
• To make a thicker smoothie, add more frozen ingredients.
• To make a thinner smoothie, add more liquid ingredients.
• Always add the liquid ingredients to the blending jar first and then add the
remaining ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear on the motor and
ensure that the ingredients are properly blended.
• Cut food into approximately ¾” pieces. You will get a more even chop if you
start with pieces that are all the same size.
• The stir stick may be used to assist in making frozen drinks or for blending any
other types of ingredients. When the stir stick is not being used, be sure to place
the lid cap over the hole in the center of the lid.
• When chopping dry ingredients such as bread crumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make
sure that the blending jar and blade bases are completely dry.
• The “PULSE” button should be operated in short bursts. As the “PULSE” button
is pressed and released, the blades should stop rotating between pulses.
• Do not attempt to mix or knead heavy dough, mash potatoes, or beat egg
whites.
• Do not over-blend foods. Most ingredients should be properly blended or
chopped in seconds. Do not operate the motor base for longer than 90 seconds
at a time.
• If the motor stalls, turn off and unplug the appliance. Remove a portion of the
ingredients before attempting to continue.
• Do not add boiling liquids to the blending jar.
