To assemble, place the pitcher on your motor base so it forms a diamond. When you are facing the front of the blender, the pitcher handle should be on the right side of the base facing you for the pitcher to sit correctly. Once the pitcher is on the base, twist clockwise or to the left to form a square and lock the pitcher in place. The handle will now be aligned with the front right corner or front left corner of the base.
Place lid onto the Pitcher, press down firmly, then press both side clips onto lid fully, so they snap onto lip of Pitcher. Insert the lid cap into the lid and turn clockwise to lock into place.
To remove the lid, pull up one of the side tabs, then lift off the lid. The Pitcher can then be emptied. If hot ingredients were blended, place the Pitcher on a flat surface, carefully hold the Pitcher handle, and remove the lid. Exercise caution when pouring hot ingredients.
Certain Auto-iQ programs are compatible with each container. You are able to select only those programs that are illuminated once a certain container is locked in place on the base.
The EXTRACT program is ideal for hard, leafy, or fibrous whole fruits and vegetables, including their skins, seeds, and stems. EXTRACT is best used when making juices, ice pops, or morning green shots with these ingredients.
It is not recommended to grind coffee in your pitcher.
Yes, you can use the Nut Butter IQ program.
The button will flash when a container is properly attached to the base and ready to use. When flashing avoid any contact with moveable parts.
The ingredients have been over-processed. Use PULSE mode for controlled processing.
Depending on the recipe, you may need a little extra help getting ingredients down to the blades of your Pitcher. Some specific moments that might call for using your Tamper include but are not limited to: large-batch recipes, highly frozen ice cream recipes, nut butter recipes with no added oil, and purees with little to no added liquid (think hummus or bean dip).
If desired, or if ingredients are not blending properly, use the Tamper to help push ingredients toward the blades. While your unit is running, remove the lid cap and insert the Tamper through the opening. Then, angle the Tamper into each of the 4 corners of the Pitcher, pushing ingredients toward the blades. DO NOT use the tamper when blending hot ingredient or liquids.
You can use the tamper while the unit is running, but can only insert the tamper through the lid cap opening. By doing so, the tamper will not make contact with the blades.
The mixture is too thick. Add more liquid or use the Tamper to help push the ingredients toward the blades. DO NOT use the tamper when blending hot liquids or ingredients.
Do not use ice that has been sitting out or has started to melt. Use ice straight from the freezer. Start with a few pulses and then go to a continuous blending cycle.
For best results, use the Tamper to push the ice down toward the blades.
Yes, but only remove the center lid cap. DO NOT add ingredients to the blender while blending hot ingredients.
No, remove the lid to pour ingredients out of the pitcher or use a serving tool.
