Carrot (apple, pear etc.)	Cut into 15mm*15mm*15mm	Carrot: 650g Water: 850g	High speed	30s

3.7 Tips for blending

1. To add ice cubes to the mixes while the blender is running, dispose of one ice cube at a time by removing the measuring cap (1). To make the blender mix the ice properly, wait for a few seconds before adding the next ice cube.
2. To add more food, remove the measuring cap (1) and insert the ingredients through the hole. Make sure the food is cut to a size of 2-5 cm to fit through the hole. Put back the cap (1) when you have finished adding ingredients.
3. While blending solid food like raw vegetables, cooked or raw meat, and fruits, always cut these materials into pieces of 2-5 cm length before putting them in the jug (3). Do not put more than 2 units of such food at once in the blender. This will speed up the blending process and reduce the abrasion on the blender blades (8).
4. Unless otherwise described in the recipe, always add the liquid ingredient in the jug (3) first.
5. To blend a drink, put all ingredients in the jug (3) at once.
6. Avoid over-blending. It is usually enough to blend for a few seconds.
7. Over-blending turns food into mush.
