Important! Do not exceed the

3 You can add other ingredients
through the filler hole while the
blender is running. You can use the
filler cup in the lid to do this (Fig. 1/
A). Close the filler hole immediately
after, to avoid splashing.
1 Do not start the blender without
the lid (Fig. 1/B) in position.
Although the lid fits firmly to the
blender tank, we advise when
blending liquid ingredients, to
place your hand on the lid as you
initially start blending. As the pow-
erful motor could cause the liquid
to surge up causing leakage. Once
you have started blending you can
remove your hand.
