and add 2 drops of liquid soap.
Close the jug with the lid and filler cap.

Handy Blending Tips

Blending Tips
• Do not operate for more than 10 minutes at
a time.
• Jug should be at least 25% full at all times
for optimal performance.
• Filler cap should always be assembled to
the lid and locked when blending on the
SOUP program.
• Use High speeds as much as possible for
whole food juices, soups, shakes, frozen
mixtures, making purées and nut butters.
Processing times will generally be less
than one minute (most take less than 30
seconds). High speed provides the best
quality of refinement, breaking down ice,
frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables to a
smooth lump-free consistency.
• Never blend without the lid firmly in place
on the jug.

Lid & Filler Cap
Separate the 2 pieces and wash in warm
soapy water. Rinse clean under running
water, then dry.
Note: Do not put lid, filler cap or jug in the
dishwasher.
Storing
After cleaning, store with lid not closed
completely to allow air to circulate and
prevent container odours.
• If on High speed the food is not circulating,
try using the tamper. If this is also not
working, try using a slower speed. Once
the food begins to circulate again, you can
switch back to a High speed.
• Due to the power of the machine, it is
normal for it to be fairly loud during
operation. Through the blending cycle, the
noises may change, but there is no need to
be concerned.
Ice Crushing: For optimal ice crushing,
fill the jug with preferred amount of ice.
Then fill with water just above where the
ice stops. Use the speed dial to blend
on High for a few seconds. Then drain
out the excess water and you are left
with a jug filled with great consistent ice!
