BLENDING TIPS • Put liquids in the jar first, unless a recipe says otherwise. • Crushing ice: Crush 6 ice cubes or approximately 2 cups of ice at a time. • Do not remove the lid while in use. Remove Filler Cap to add smaller ingredients. (Figure 6) • Cut all firm fruits and vegetables, cooked meats, fish and seafood into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch (1.8 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm). Cut all kinds of cheeses into pieces no larger than 3/4 inch (1.8 cm). • This blender will not mash potatoes, whip egg whites or substitute dairy toppings, mix stiff dough or grind raw meat. FIGURE 6 HOT FOODS • Open the Filler Cap to vent steam. Tilt Filler Cap away from you. Keep hands away from the cover opening to prevent possible burns. • When working with hot liquids, remove Filler Cap and start blending at a low speed. Then move to a faster speed. DO NOT add liquid over the 4 cup (1 liter) level. CLEANING AND STORING YOUR BLENDER IMPORTANT: UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING. DO NOT IMMERSE THE BLENDER BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. Use a damp, soft sponge with mild detergent to clean the outside of the blender base. All parts except for the blender base are dishwasher-safe. Place sealing ring in bottom basket of dishwasher. You can also wash the parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry. STORING YOUR BLENDER After cleaning, reassemble blade to jar with sealing ring and jar bottom.
