13. Always operate blender with lid and lid plug firmly in place. The lid plug should be removed only when adding
ingredients and when using the tamper.
14. When blending hot liquids or ingredients, use caution; spray or escaping steam may cause scalding and burns.
Fill the jug 1/3 or max ½ full. Filling the jug more than halfway can cause too much steam to build up and can
blow the lid off the blender. Remove the lid-plug, and place lid (without the cap) securely on the jug. Cover the
blender lid with a clean kitchen towel, and allow for an easy escape route for the hot steam. Hold the lid
securely, and start blending on lowest speed. Gradually increase speed if needed.
15. When making nut butters or oil-based foods, be cautious of heat. The jug will heat up quicker than with using
liquids. Processing for longer periods can cause dangerous overheating. And can cause damage to the jug.
Leave the jug to cool for 10-15 min, and then continue processing.
