hand on top of the blender lid whenever it is running.
• When working with dry/solid ingredients, cut them into small pieces and always add some liquid.
• Let soups, sauces and cooked foods cool to room temperature before blending.
• For crushed ice, add just a few cubes at a time, with a small amount of water.
• Solid or thick ingredients may need scraping down from the jug sides with a spatula. Remember to switch
off and unplug the blender first. If the mixture is difficult to process, add a little liquid or select the pulse
feature.

minutes before continuing.
