HOW IT WORKS
SHAKE
TECHNIQUE
Sometimes, if you over fill the cups with ingredients or don’t put enough water,
the results can increase the density of the mixture. This makes it hard for the
ingredients toward the top of the cup to make it down to the blade. If some of your
ingredients are having a hard time making it down to the blade, simply use the
Shake technique.
Remove the cup and blade assembly
from the Power Base.
With the cup and blade assembly in
hand, shake it like a cocktail shaker.
Then put it back on the Power Base.
TAP
TECHNIQUE
For really stubborn ingredients that are clinging to the side of the cup instead of
being recirculated into the cutting zone, simply use the Tap technique.
Take the cup and blade assembly off the Power Base
and Tap the cup and blade assembly on the counter
to force the ingredients down into the blades.
Place the cup and blade assembly onto the
Power Base and finish processing.

WHEN MAKING NUT BUTTERS OR OIL-BASED FOODS, DUE TO THE CONSISTENCY,
THE FOOD WILL PROCESS AND THEN STICK TO THE SIDES OF THE CUP. PROCESS
IN 30 SECOND INCREMENTS BY SIMPLY LIFTING THE CUP OFF THE POWER
BASE BETWEEN INTERVALS. BETWEEN CYCLES, USE A COMBINATION OF THE
TAP METHOD DESCRIBED ON PAGE 15 AND OPEN CUP AS NEEDED TO SCRAPE
DOWN THE INGREDIENTS TO THE CENTER OF THE CUP BEFORE CONTINUING TO
PROCESS IN 30 SECOND INCREMENTS.
ALLOW MACHINE TO COOL DOWN FOR 10 MIN AFTER 4-5 CYCLES TO PREVENT
OVERHEATING AND DAMAGING THE UNIT.
