TROUBLESHOOTING

TIPS AND HINTS

• Always put the hardest ingredients into the blending cup first (ice cubes, frozen fruit) and finish with the softer ingredients and liquids.
• It is recommended that most foods be cut into ½- to 1-inch pieces to achieve the most uniform result.
• For best results in the fastest time, pulse a few times before running continuously. Pulses should be short bursts with about 1 second in between each one to allow the blade to stop rotating between pulses.
• To crush ice, but no more than 3 standard ice cubes into the blending cup at one time. Pulse until uniformly crushed.
• If food sticks to the sides of the blending cup when blending, stop the blender, carefully scrape down the food, replace the blade assembly, and pulse in short bursts to combine.
• When blending thicker mixtures, lightly hold down the top of the blending cup to prevent excessive movement
• Do not attempt to mash white potatoes or knead bread dough in the blending cup.
• After blending, flip the blending cup over so that the blade assembly is on top. Gently tap the cup on the counter a few times to prevent any spillage. Remove the blade assembly and replace it with the provided lid.
