Blending Tips

Crushing Ice
For best performance, when a recipe calls for liquid, place the liquid
in blender jar followed by the ice cubes. Ensure ice cubes are sepa-
rated. When only crushed ice is desired, add 1 cup (250 ml) of ice
cubes to jar. Place lid on blender jar then Pulse on any of the 5
pulse speeds. Allow blades to come to a complete stop between
pulses. Continue until ice is crushed to desired consistency. For best
results always crush ice immediately after removing from freezer.
General
To add foods when blender is operating, remove filler cap from
container lid and add ingredients through the opening. Do not store
food or liquids in the blender jar.

PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Tighten collar on jar.
• Make sure lid with filler cap is pushed down tightly on jar.
• For units with separate gasket, make sure gasket is in place on cutter assembly.
• Make sure enough liquid has been added. A minimum of 8 ounces (250 ml) is recommended.
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or
extract juices from fruits and vegetables. The blender is not made to perform these tasks.
• If mixture is too thick, continue to add liquid until mixture is blended to desired consistency.
• Loosen collar by holding jar and turning collar counterclockwise.
