Maximum quantities and processing time

See table with maximum quantities and processing time.

Ingredients	Maximum quantities	Processing time
Fruits 100 - 200 g 20 - 30	Seconds
Fruit juice 100 - 200 g Fruit + Water (optional)	20 - 30 Seconds

Tips for blending

• When blending solid food, such as raw vegetables, cooked or uncooked fruits always cut them into no larger than 2-5 cm pieces before placing them into the jug A. Blend no more than 2 cups of these food at a time. This will speed the blending process and reduce wear on the blending blades.
  Always place liquid ingredients in the jug A first, unless a recipe specifically states otherwise.
  To blend beverages, place all ingredients in the jug A at the same time.
• Avoid overblending. Usually, you will need to blend for a few seconds.
  Overblending may cause food to become mushy.
