• Do not use this jar to store food or other objects.

• It is not advisable to pour very hot food in the jar to avoid the danger of burning yourself.

• We recommend adding the ingredients little by little instead of all at once.

• First blend the harder ingredients and then add the softer ones. This makes it easier to obtain an even mix.

• The slower speed is more suitable for beating or mixing foods with a liquid consistency. The faster speed is recommended for mincing or mixing more solid or thicker foods.

• Coarse and fibrous foods must be cut into 2 or 3 cm cubes at most.English Instructions for use 7

• To make cocktails with crushed ice, first put in the ingredients then the ice, and lastly the liquid needed or a little water. Do not forget to add the liquid otherwise the ice will not be crushed correctly.

• When crushing ice, use the high speed for a few seconds to crush it completely. The ice cubes will be propelled upwards, so they will not get stuck in the bottom.

• If the foods stick to the walls of the jar during blending or remain out of the range of the blades, switch off the appliance, remove the jar from the base and take off the lid. Remove the lid and carefully push the food towards the blades with a spatula. Put the lid on the jar, place it on the main body and carry on blending the ingredients.

• Do not exceed the maximum level indicated on the blender jar. Cleaning and Maintenance The blades are very sharp. Avoid touching the blades with your hands while cleaning and drying the inside of the jug. Never submerse the main body in water or wash it in the dishwasher.
