⊲ Always secure the lid when the unit is in operation.
⊲ Always use the blender on a clean, sturdy, dry surface.
⊲ Secure the small lid/measuring cup in the blending lid by twisting it clockwise.
⊲ Once the lid is in position, additional ingredients can be added during blending by simply removing
the measuring cap, adding ingredients, and replacing it, turning it to secure.
⊲ Do not place the blender jug on the motor base while the motor is running or remove it before the
blender has stopped running.

⊲ When blending, place liquid ingredients into the jug first, followed by the softest ingredients. Ice or
frozen fruit should be placed in the jug last.
⊲ Use a plastic spatula if needed but only when the blender is turned off. Never use metal utensils, as
damage may occur to the blending jug or blades.
⊲ When the blender has been running for seven minutes, it will automatically shut off unless it is in Soup
mode, which operates for seven minutes.
⊲ Blending hard ingredients and spices may cause some clouding to appear on the inside of the
blending jug, but will not affect the blender's performance.
⊲ Use the Pulse function for maximum power to break up hard ingredients.
⊲ Do not exceed the MAX FILL LINE when adding food or liquids to the blending jug.
⊲ Make sure the blending jug is completely dry when chopping ice, fresh herbs, garlic, onion, zest,
breadcrumbs or nuts and spices.
⊲ Do not store food or liquids in your blending jug.
⊲ Be careful not to over-process foods.
⊲ Do not use any utensil inside the blender jug when the motor is on.
