How to use

Place the blender on a flat, stable surface and ensure the jar is correctly seated on the base. Add ingredients to the jar without exceeding the 1.25 L capacity, then secure the lid. Start blending at a low setting and increase speed with the rotary knob to reach the desired consistency; use short pulses for chopping or ice crushing when needed. For hot liquids, allow steam to escape according to the jar manufacturer’s guidance and avoid overfilling. Turn the appliance off and unplug before removing the jar and blades for cleaning.

Recommendations

For best results with frozen fruit or ice, add a small amount of liquid to facilitate movement and reduce strain on the motor. Clean the glass jar and blades after each use to prevent residue buildup; handwash or follow dishwasher guidance if the jar is dishwasher-safe. Avoid continuous operation beyond recommended intervals to prevent overheating and allow the motor to cool between longer blending cycles.
