Ice Cream

Use these programs to mix smoothies, to crush ice for frozen treats, and to create frozen yogurt and small-batch ice cream.

Please note that the blender will not cause fresh ingredients to freeze. To create ice cream, start with frozen food ingredients and well-chilled liquid. For best results, prepare ice cream in batches under 1000mL / 34oz.

Nut/Oat Milk

Cold blending preserves nutrients, fats, and starches contained within nuts, seeds and oats.

Blend fresh and frozen fruits & vegetables, nuts, seeds, oats, yogurt, and more.

No, do not chill the pitcher in a fridge or freezer. Condensation accumulated upon warming may cause the blender to malfunction.

When blending cold contents, you may fill the pitcher up to 1600ml/ 54oz.

Yes. The blender will boil and blend, all in one pitcher.

Purée

Soy Milk

Rice Milk

No, in order to create ice cream, you will need to begin with frozen food ingredients and well-chilled liquids. Please note that ice cream made in a blender will vary in texture from ice cream made using traditional methods, with results being closer to a soft-serve style of ice cream.

Yes, when cooking and blending most food items, the blender will require a minimum of ¼ cup (60mL / 2oz) liquid.

Note: No liquid is required when blending dry ingredients.

The order in which ingredients are placed in the pitcher is important. When making smoothies, add liquids first, then solids. For more complex recipes, use this image as a guide:

The order in which ingredients are placed in the pitcher is important. When making ice cream, add minimal liquid, then add solids. For best results, ensure that food items are fully frozen and liquids are well chilled.

Please note that ice cream made in a blender will vary in texture from ice cream made using traditional methods, with results being closer to a soft-serve style of ice cream.

For more complex recipes, use this image as a guide:

1. You can soak soybeans in water for up to 1 hour.  Strain, discard soaking water and rinse with clear water — remove any skins if desired.
2. Remove the lid from the pitcher. Add ¾ cup (112g) soybeans and 1400mL (47oz) cold water to the pitcher. Secure the lid to the pitcher.

Yes. However, the Ace blends fruit and vegetables whole, so it is advisable to select foods for juicing that have a high water content, such as berries, pineapples, apples, oranges, and tomatoes. If juicing fibrous foods such as carrots or beets, additional liquid will be required to facilitate blending.

Strain after blending, or drink unfiltered for maximum nutritional value.

Refer to the User Manual for information about individual blending programs.

If the blender stopped unexpectedly during blending, the contents may be too thick. Remove some of the contents from the pitcher, use the food tamper, or add liquid to ease the blending. Refer to Troubleshooting.

The pitcher’s bottom is comprised of grade 304 (18/8) stainless steel, while the blades are grade 301 for hardness. The stainless steel is compliant with FDA standards.

The discoloration on the stainless steel is often called “rainbowing” and can be caused by exposure to high heat, cooking starchy food (e.g. rice, pasta) or even detergent staining after washing. This is common and normal in all stainless steel cookware and is safe to cook with.

To remove staining, unplug the blender and add 1 cup of white vinegar to the pitcher, and scrub the affected area with the cleaning brush.

The lid is comprised of an FDA-approved polypropylene, suitable for the Ace blender’s boiling temperatures.

Note: Because BPA-free plastics have a low melting point, they are not suitable for cooking.

The lid and lid cap of the blender are dishwasher safe.

The pitcher and the blender base must be washed by hand and must not be submerged in liquid.

The blades are comprised of grade 301 (18/) stainless steel, compliant with FDA standards.

The glass pitcher is comprised of heat resistant tempered glass. This type of glass is professional-grade, and can safety make contact with extreme heat and extreme cold.

The black silicone seal should be cleaned after each use and should be removed for cleaning every few blending cycles to ensure that food is not trapped beneath it.

Due to the porous nature of silicone, odors can become trapped in the black silicone seal on the lid. To remove odors, remove the black silicone seal from the lid and allow to soak in a mixture of 1:1 white vinegar and hot water for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. Rinse with clear, warm water.

Do not use carbonated liquids as they may foam beyond the pitcher’s capacity.

Do not attempt to make oat milk with a hot blending program.

Do not attempt to make milk from nuts or seeds with a hot blending program.

Remove stones, pits, and hard seeds from fruits before blending.

Foods with shells should have shells removed before blending.

E01 is an error code that indicates the motor has overheated. This could be the result of being run for too long, or if the contents are too thick. Refer to Troubleshooting.

No, do not place the blender on or near a hot stovetop, gas range or electric burner. Do not place it on, near, or in a heated oven, as this will damage the blender.
