Blending Tips
Liquids
Put liquids into the jar first, unless the recipe says otherwise.
Using the Jar Lid Filler Cap Opening
Do not remove the lid while in use. Food may splatter if you do. Instead, open
the Filler Cap to add smaller ingredients.
Working with Hot Foods or Liquids
WARNING: When you work with HOT FOODS, remove the Filler Cap to
vent steam. Keep hands and other exposed skin away from the lid opening
to prevent possible burns.
When you work with HOT LIQUIDS, remove the Filler Cap and start at a
low speed, and then gradually increase to a faster speed. Do not add liquid
over the 4 cup (1L) level. Always keep hands away from steam.
Ingredients Quantities
Use only the amount of food suggested in the recipes. If you want greater
amounts, prepare in batches. Using larger amounts may overload and strain
the motor. You might also get different results from those described.
Recipes
These recipes have been optimized for the Pre-Programmed Settings.
When experimenting with your own recipes you may choose to stop the
