example, mayonnaise, salad
dressings etc., do not operate
for longer than 1 minute at one
single time.
• Use ‘HIGH’ speed for pureeing

(approx 2-3 cm square) to achieve
an even result.

together, begin with the hard
foods and then add soft foods.
Continue blending until you have
reached the desired consistency
and even texture.
• To add ingredients during blending,
remove the inner cap on the lid
and drop solid ingredients or pour
liquids through the lid opening.
Use a container with a pouring lip,
such as a measuring cup, when
adding liquids.
• Place one hand on top of the
blender lid and hold it down
when blending large quantities
of thin liquids.This will prevent the
lid from popping off due to
excessive pressure.
• Do not expose the glass jug to
sudden temperature changes (i.e.
immersing the jug into hot water
directly after immersing it into cold
water or vice versa).
