Frequently Asked Questions - Blender & Beyond Plus HB2248S Emeril Lagasse

How do I clean the blender pitcher?

Rinse the pitcher immediately after use. Add warm water and a drop of dish soap, then blend on high for 30 seconds. Rinse thoroughly. The pitcher and lid are top-rack dishwasher safe.

Can I blend hot liquids?

It is not recommended to blend hot liquids directly. Allow liquids to cool to room temperature before blending to avoid pressure buildup and potential splashing.

What is the maximum capacity?

The maximum liquid capacity is 64 oz (1.9 L). Do not exceed the MAX fill line indicated on the pitcher to prevent overflow.

How do I crush ice with this blender?

Use the pulse function in short bursts. Add ice cubes up to the MAX line and pulse 3-5 times until desired consistency is achieved.

Why is the blender not turning on?

Ensure the pitcher is properly seated on the base and the lid is locked. Check that the power cord is plugged into a working outlet. If still not working, check the reset button on the bottom.

Can I blend frozen fruits?

Yes, but cut frozen fruits into small chunks and add some liquid to aid blending. Use a lower speed initially, then increase to high.

Is the blender BPA-free?

Yes, the pitcher is made from BPA-free Tritan plastic, ensuring safe food contact.

How do I remove the blade assembly?

The blade assembly is not removable for safety. To clean, blend warm soapy water as described. Do not disassemble the base.

What should I do if the blender leaks?

Check that the lid gasket is properly seated and the lid is locked. If the pitcher is cracked, replace it. Avoid overfilling.

Can the blender be used for grinding nuts?

It can grind soft nuts like almonds if pulsed briefly. For hard nuts, a dedicated grinder is recommended to avoid blade damage.
