• Do not operate the appliance if its container is empty.
• Do not use the device continuously for more than 1 minute. The recommended use time is 1 minute. This must be followed by a break of about 3 minutes.
• Add a little water to the mixed food if necessary.
• Peel the fruit / vegetables, remove the stones and kernels and cut them into smaller pieces before placing them in the container.

Before placing in the container, you must pre-cut the hard fruits and vegetables into pieces measuring about 1 cm. Even softer types of food should be pre-cut into smaller pieces before mixing. This will increase the mixing efficiency. If you are preparing a multi-ingredient dish that requires mixing the individual ingredients at different performances, mix the individual ingredients separately.

• Do not overfill containers to avoid damaging them.
• For optimal results, it is recommended not to fill more than half the capacity of the container and pieces of solid food should not exceed about 15 mm.
• To slice the fruit/vegetables, place the fruit/vegetables in a container in the amount of half a cup. Mix continuously until you reach the desired consistency.
• To mix fruit/vegetables, add half a cup of water to half a cup of fruit/vegetables in the container to the hard fruit / vegetables. For soft fruits/vegetables, add about 1/4 cup of water to 1/2 cup of fruit/vegetables to the container.
• Avoid premixing. Premixing produces a slurry consistency.
• Do not overfill the mixing bowl.
• Fill the container with liquids first, then the solids (unless prescribed otherwise).
• When mixing drinks, you can put all the ingredients in the container at the same time.
• Only mix ice when there is an adequate amount of liquid in the container.
