• Cut food into pieces no larger than ¾-inch for use in blender.

• When preparing foods that have several different kinds of ingredients, always add liquid ingredients first.

• Lid cap holds up to 2 oz. of liquid and can be used as a measure when adding ingredients such as juices, milk, cream and liquor (N).

• When making bread crumbs, chopping nuts or grinding coffee beans, make sure blender jar is completely dry.

• When using PULSE function, use short bursts. Allow blades to stop rotating between pulses. Do not use pulse for more than 2 minutes.
