Hints For Best Use; Maintaining Your Blender - Oster BLSTDP-W00 Manuel D'instructions

• Processing hot foods or liquids in the blender may cause hot liquid to spurt out when
the cover is removed. Always lift the snap-open spout located on the lid before blend-
ing hot foods or liquids. WARNING: When you work with HOT LIQUIDS, flip the jar lid
open and start at a low speed, and gradually increase to a faster speed. Do not add
liquid over the 1.0-liter/4 cup level. Always keep hands and exposed skin away from
steam. Start blending at lowest speed. Jar will become hot from hot contents. (Please
review Important Safeguards section.)
• To add liquids and small ingredients when blender is operating, lift the snap-open spout
and add ingredients through the opening.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to the sides of the jar,
turn blender off. Remove the cover and use a rubber spatula to push mixture towards
blades.
• If using your blender to make salsa or other recipes using tomatoes, onions and other
vegetables, you may have better results using a slower speed function or the pulse
function.
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind corn,
raw meat or extract juices from fruits and vegetables. The blender was not
made to perform these tasks.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender.
