4.1 Tips for blending
•To add ice cubes to mixtures while the blender
is operating, add one cube at a time through the
cap (1). Wait a few seconds before adding the
next ice cube so that the blender can properly
blend the ice.
•To add food while the blender is operating,
remove the cap (1) and drop the ingredients
through the opening. Be sure to cut the food
into about 2-5 cm pieces to fit through the
opening. Replace the cap (1) when you have
finished adding ingredients.
•When blending solid food, such as raw
vegetables, cooked or uncooked meat and
fruits always cut them into no larger than 2-5
cm pieces before placing them into the glass jug.
Blend no more than 2 cups of these food at a
time. This will speed the blending process and
reduce wear on the blending blades.
•Always place liquid ingredients in the glass
jug first, unless a recipe specifically states
otherwise.
•To blend beverages, place all ingredients in the
glass jug at the same time.
•Avoid overblending. Usually, you will need to
blend for a few seconds.
•Overblending may cause food to become mushy.
