Ice Drink Instructions

Some of the nicest drinks you can make with your RPM Blender are frozen fruit drinks. Specific recipes follow, but here are the general instructions.

1. Start by adding the liquid first, whether it is milk, juice, or water.

2. Cover the container securely with the rubber lid with the open hole.

3. Start the motor turning at low speed.

4. Add the ice or frozen fruit piece by piece through the hole in the top of the lid.

5. Increase speed gradually as high as necessary to crush the frozen ingredients.

6. You may use the blade wrench to tamp frozen ingredients into the liquid. Blend for as short a time as possible. Too much blending creates friction heat that melts the ingredients.

Tip: You can achieve desired milk shake or ice cream consistency by balancing the liquid and frozen ingredients.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to blend ingredients that are so hard that the tip of a sharp knife will not pierce them. Allow frozen ingredients like fruit to soften slightly if they have been in a deep freeze. The ideal temperature for blending frozen ingredients is 20-25° F.

Thick Drink Tamper Instructions

The tamper is used to stir thick shakes and ice drinks, puree vegetable soups, and maintain circulation by pushing ingredients into the blades and eliminating air pockets. It is designed to prevent any contact with the blades. If circulation stops, angle the tamper to any side of the container and slightly increase the liquid ingredients. Do not use the tamper when the container is more than 2/3 full.

Funnel Cone Instructions

This is the lid insert that enables you to add oils and flavor tinctures such as vanilla while the blades are turning. It is perfect for making mayonnaise.

Grinding Coffee Beans and Nuts

Your RPM Blender will grind coffee beans, all nuts, and seeds. For small seeds such as sesame or flax (linseed) seeds, add only enough seeds to come up to the blades. Try not to cover the blades. Excessive amounts of small seeds can stress your blender. For coffee beans or large nuts such as cashews, add one cup at a time. Place the fully closed cover on the container and blend at half, then full speed if necessary.

Basic Cleaning and Care

Blades: These may be removed for cleaning. A convenient blade wrench is included. The blades are very sharp! Use caution and hand protection. The rubber gasket may be removed for cleaning and is replaceable. It is not recommended to wash blades in the dishwasher. The heat, steam, and harsh detergents of an automatic dishwasher will damage the ball bearings and remove the bearing lubrication. Carefully wash the blade assembly by hand. Avoid letting it soak in soapy water.

Lid and Lid Plug: Wash the lid with gentle dish washing liquid, a sponge, or a soft dish washing brush. Do not use any abrasive cleaning tools, copper sponges, steel wool, bleach or other strong detergent products.

Pitcher: Remove the blade assembly before washing in dishwasher. The blender pitcher is dishwasher safe, but whenever possible keep the pitcher away from the heating element.

Caution: Do not use any abrasive cleaning tools, copper sponges, steel wool, bleach or other strong detergent products.

Motor Base: Unplug the power cord. Then a damp cloth or sponge can be used to clean the surface of the motor base. Clean the switches with a cloth, sponge, or a gentle vegetable brush. Never immerse the motor base in water.

Eat Healthy

Food contains energy, nutrients and other components that effect health. Healthful diets help children grow, develop and do well in school. A good diet also helps people of all ages to work productively and reduce the risk for chronic diseases such as certain cancers, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

We know that certain diets raise risks for chronic diseases. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends the following as key factors in a healthy diet:

• Eat a variety of foods.
• Choose a diet low in fats, saturated fats and cholesterol.
• Choose a diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits and grain products.
• Use of sugars in moderation.
• Use salt and sodium in moderation.

With our busy, demanding lives we may not always take the time to produce homemade meals with fresh wholesome ingredients. We purchase processed and prepackaged supermarket foods to provide convenience when making meals for our family. These supermarket foods can contain artificial colors, artificial flavors, excessive sweeteners, preservatives and numerous other man made ingredients to help in the manufacture, appearance, texture, flavor, color, and shelf life of the product. Most processed and ready-to-serve meal products have high fat content, low fiber and low nutrient content. The quality of food in fast food and regular restaurants may have similar unhealthy properties. We require certain essential nutrients to function optimally. Making meals yourself puts you in control of obtaining these essential nutrients and avoiding substances that are undesirable in our diet.
