Useful Tips

To achieve the best results when puréeing solid ingredients, place small
portions into the jug one by one.

If you are processing solid ingredients, cut them into small pieces
(2-3cm)

When mixing solid ingredients start off with a small amount of liquid.
Gradually add more liquid through the lid opening.

Always place your hand on top of the blender when you are opening the
appliance.

Be careful when processing hot liquids.

For stirring solid or very thick liquid ingredients, we recommend that you
use the blender in pulse mode to prevent the blades from sticking.
