• Keep the lid on the blender jar while blending. Do not remove the
blender jar from the base while the blender is running.
• Stop the blender and unplug before using utensils in the blender jar. Do
not use metal utensils – they can scratch the jar or damage the blade.
• Blend warm or hot liquids using the Low speed or Pulse setting.
Increase speed if necessary. Cool hot foods, if possible, before
blending.
• Add food to the blender jar in larger quantities than you would
with other blenders – you can add 3 to 4 cups at a time versus
1 cup portions.
• Thorough blending usually requires only a few seconds of operation.
Be careful not to over-process foods.
• When chopping dry ingredients, make sure the blender jar, lid, and
blade are completely dry.
• With foods that tend to stick to the jar, use the Pulse feature.
• For many ingredient mixtures, start the blending process at the Low
speed setting to combine the ingredients thoroughly, then increase to
a higher speed if necessary.
• The ingredient cap can be removed and liquid or ice added to the
Chef’s Blender at the Low speed setting. When operating the blender
at higher speeds, with a full jar, or with hot contents, stop the blender
before adding ingredients.
