10 totalWhat should I do if my blender shows an 'E-02 Overload' error?
Unplug the blender and let it rest for five minutes before running it without the jar. If the motor runs normally, add one cup of water to the jar and replace on the blender. Run a smoothie cycle; if the issue persists, contact Customer Care (Page 13).
How do I factory reset my Cosmos Life CL Bl8175inox Blender?
As this model does not specify a factory reset procedure in the manual provided, contact Customer Care or refer to Blendtec's website for specific instructions on resetting this particular blender (Page 23).
How do I clean the jar after its first use?
Add a cup of water and drop of dish soap to the jar, place it back on the motor base; press Clean cycle or pulse for 10 seconds. Then remove and rinse with warm water (Page 8).
What should I do if my blender is making a louder grinding noise than usual?
Remove the jar from the base and run a normal smoothie cycle to check for abnormal motor sounds. If no issues are detected, refer to troubleshooting instructions or contact Customer Care (Page 13).
How do I handle cavitation when blending?
To minimize cavitation, ensure a liquid-to-solid ratio of at least 1:3. Start by blending liquids with the most fibrous or dense items first. If still encountering challenges, stop the cycle and add warm water to the blend (Page 13).
How should I load ingredients into the jar?
For optimal blending performance, always load ingredients in this order: liquids first, followed by soft solids and then hard, dense or frozen items; using this sequence helps reduce cavitation issues (Page 7).

BLENDER BASICS

VERSATILITY
Blendtec is more than a blender— it can be used for a number of other applications in the kitchen as well, including: Blending This basic function can be used to make smoothies, batters, mixed drinks, whip cream and salad dressings. For basic blending, select desired speed and run until preferred consistency is reached. Wet Grinding The blender acts as a wet grinder when grinding foods that contain moisture, such as soaked grains and raw meat. Use the pulse feature to grind to desired consistency. Be sure to clean the blender thoroughly after grinding raw meat to avoid cross-contamination. Dry Grinding Crack or grind legumes or whole grains for use in hot cereals, baked goods, and breads. Togrindgrains,pulsetothedesireddegreeoffinenessorusethe manualspeedcontrols,blendinglongerforfinergrains. Dry grinding is also used to make bread crumbs or crush graham crackers. Pulse until desired consistency is reached. Juicing Whole Foods Wholefoodjuicedeliversallthehealthbenefitsofboththejuiceand thefiberfoundinthefruitorvegetable. To create whole juices, blend on high for 50 seconds.
Wet Chopping Wet chopping is an easy way to chop ingredients such as carrots and celery. Simply add water in with the food item you want to chop to helptheingredientscirculateinthejar.Afteryoufinishchopping, strain out your chopped ingredients. You can also use the leftover liquid for smoothies, sauces, and soups . For wet chopping, Pulse 8–12 times or until desired consistency is reached. Dry Chopping The blender can chop nuts, hard cheeses, coconut, and other hard ingredients easily, quickly, and with less mess to clean up. When dry chopping, use the pulse feature or blend at a medium-high speed. For best results, chop ingredients in small batches. Making Frozen Treats
The blender can make soft-serve ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, and more. For frozen recipes, blend on low for 15 seconds, then blend on medium to high until desired consistency is reached.
Batters After grinding grains, the same jar can be used to combine flourandwetingredientsintobatters.

Blending Problems If it appears that the blend isn’t moving and the blade is spinning, a bubble of air may have formed within the blend. This is commonly called cavitation. If this happens, follow these steps: (1) stop the blend cycle, (2) remove the jar from the blender base, (3) scrape the inside walls of the jar with a spoon or add a little warm water to the blend, (4) remove the spoon, replace the jar, and resume the blend. The blender works best with a 1:3 liquid to solid ratio. If you are experiencing frequent cavitation, try blending the liquids with the mostfibrousordenseitemsfirst(e.g.,almondmilkanddates)to makethebaseorpaste.Addtheremainingingredientstofinish the blend.
