VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (Speeds 1–10): Jug only.

START SLOW (Speeds 1–3): Always start at low speed to better incorporate ingredients and prevent them from sticking to the sides of the vessel.

HIGH-SPEED BLENDING (Speeds 8–10): Blend until your desired consistency is reached. The longer you blend, the better the breakdown and smoother the outcome will be.

What's in the box

CLEANING
Dishwasher
All parts except the motor base are top-rack dishwasher safe and should NOT be cleaned with a heated dry cycle.

Wash containers, lids, and blade assemblies in warm, soapy water. When washing the blade assemblies, use a dishwashing utensil with a handle.

Handle the blade assemblies with care when washing, as the blades are loose and sharp. Contact with the blades' edges can result in laceration.
