Useful tips
For the best results when blending solid ingredients, place small portions in
the glass jug a little at a time.
If you are blending solid ingredients, cut them first into small portions (2-
3cm).
When blending solid ingredients, start by adding a small quantity of liquid.
Gradually add more liquid through the lid opening.
Always hold the blender top with your hand while the appliance is operating.
Hold the grinder cup’s top during operation to ensure it is steady.
Proceed carefully when blending thick liquids.
To blend solid ingredients or very thick liquids we recommend you use the
“Pulse” setting to prevent the blades from sticking.
To crush ice easily, it is advisable to add a small quantity of water.
