Tips

• The inner measuring cap can be removed to
add oils/liquids or other ingredients during
blending. Extreme care must be taken as
depending on the mixture volume and speeds
of operation, splashes can eject from the lid.
We do not recommend removing the inner
measuring cap when blending hot liquid.
• Do not exceed the maximum mark when
adding foods and liquids into the blender.
• Run the blender only for the
appropriate amount of time required
– do not over blend ingredients.
• Use the PULSE | ICE CRUSH button
when food is too thick or coarse to
circulate within the blender jug.
• The tamper accessory can be used
during blending by removing the inner
measuring cap. Always make sure
the main lid stays firmly in place.
• Ingredients may stick to the sides of
the blender jug. To push food back
onto the blades with the main lid on
(inner cap removed), use the tamper
provided to scrape down the sides of
the jug, and continue blending.
• If any moisture or liquid spills on top of
the motor base during blending, turn the
blender off and unplug from the outlet.
Remove the blender jug, and wipe motor base
immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• The maximum amount of ice cubes that the
blender can process in the jug is 8 ounces
(225g). That's approximately 10 ice cubes.
• Thicker mixtures puree more efficiently
if the jug is ¼ to ½ full.
• Do not use metal utensils, as they may
damage the blades or blender jug.
• Dates and other dried fruits may vary in
hardness and moisture content. If adding
dried fruits to smoothies, use the tamper for
the first 15–20 seconds of the SMOOTHIE
or GREEN SMOOTHIE setting.

• To make nut milks, add 1–2 cups of raw or
soaked/drained nuts. Add 4 cups of purified
water, and process on MILL for 1 minute.
Strain through a nut milk bag (or muslin/
cheesecloth) over a large bowl or jug.
Close bag and squeeze the pulp in the bag
to extract as much milk as you can.
• To soak or not to soak nuts? This is a personal
preference and you can make nut milks with
unsoaked or soaked almonds. Almonds are a
great source of protein however they contain
a naturally occurring compound that may
prevent our enzymes from digesting the
nuts effectively. Try soaking nuts overnight
to help break down the compound. Always
rinse and drain soaked nuts before use.
• Roasting nuts to make nut butter allows their
natural oils to be released during blending,
and enriches the flavor. Some nuts, such
as almonds and hazelnuts, have a lower
oil content. Add rice bran, macadamia or
coconut oil when blending, if needed.
• Freshly milled whole grain flour does not keep
as long as commercial flours. This is because
the inner layers of the grain contain rich oils,
which can become rancid over time with
exposure to heat and moisture. Always store
your flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry
place. Flour can be stored in the refrigerator
or freezer in warm/humid climates.
• Corn, soy beans and some other dried
legumes and grains vary in their moisture
content, and may not circulate properly
during milling. Use the tamper during
milling to assist with circulation.
• To remove any food that cannot easily be
scraped out from under the blades, replace lid
and turn blender back on high speed for 4–5
seconds to spin foods out from under blades.
