To prevent spillage, do not put more than 1.5 litres of liquid in the blender jar, especially when
you process at a high speed. Do not put more than 1 litre in the blender jar when you process
hot liquids or ingredients that tend to foam.

You can use the opening in the lid to add ingredients while the appliance is running (Fig. 7).
-
Do not process dry ingredients for more than 1 minute.

Cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces before you put them in the blender jar. Do not process
a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time. Process these ingredients in a series of
small batches instead.

few times to let the blender run briefly. If you want to use a spatula, switch off the appliance,
open the lid and then stir the ingredients. You can also remove some of the contents of the jar
and process smaller amounts.
