Frequently Asked Questions - CF-18B Artrom

How do I assemble the blender?

Place the jar on the motor base, align the tabs, and twist clockwise until it locks. Then add ingredients, secure the lid, and operate.

Can I blend hot liquids?

No, allow liquids to cool to room temperature before blending to avoid pressure buildup and potential lid ejection.
