The Power Elite Multi-Function Blender is great for classics like smoothies and icy drinks, but it’s equally talented at preparing food such as salsas and purées. This blender will quickly become your go-to appliance for preparing many different things. To simplify blending, its 4 blending buttons clearly indicate which function each button is designed to perform. You’ll quickly be able to select which button to press for each blending task, from making milkshakes and crushing ice to food preparation such as puree, dice, chop and grate. Tips & Care: For the best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per recipe is one cup (8 oz/250 ml). Add more liquid if your mixture is not blending properly. To add food or liquid to when blender is operating, open the hinged pouring cap and add ingredients through the opening. If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.
