Helpful ps
 To achieve the best results when pureeing solid ingredients, place small
porons into the glass jug one by one instead of placing a large quanty all
at once.
 If you are processing solid ingredients, cut them into small pieces (2-3cm)
rst.
 When mixing solid ingredients start o with a small amount of liquid and
gradually add more liquid through the opening in the lid.
 Always place your hand on top of the blender when you are operang the
device.
 Be careful when processing hot liquids.
 When srring solid or thick ingredients it is recommended to use the
blender on the pulse (P) mode to prevent the blades from becoming stuck.
