seated.
I Plug cord into outlet.
I Put ingredients in jar; place lid on jar. Place hand on
lid when blending.
I Blending hot liquid: Do not place hand on lid. Always
use caution when blending hot liquid. Keep hands and
exposed skin away from opening during blending.
I Process food or beverages. See the "Blending Specific
Foods" section for speeds and processing tips.
I ALWAYS turn blender off and wait until blades have
stopped rotating before removing jar.

GENERAL TIPS

I Processing hot foods or liquids in the blender may
cause hot liquid to spurt out when the cover is
removed. Always remove the filler cap of the cover
before blending hot foods or liquids.
I To add foods when blender is operating, remove
filler cap from container cover and add ingredients
through the opening.
I For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid
needed per recipe is one cup (8 ounces/250 ml). Add
more liquid if food is not blending properly.
I If blending action stops during blending or ingredi-
ents stick to sides of the jar, there may not be
enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently.
I Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip
egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from
fruits and vegetables. The blender is not made to
perform these tasks.
I Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
I Avoid bumping or dropping the blender.
