Use the Pulse function to chop, then blend until desired consistency/purée is reached.

Allow hot foods to cool slightly before blending to prevent steam build-up which may cause the lid to lift up from the blender jar.

Keep your blender out on the counter within easy reach and you will be surprised how often you will use it.

Keep ice cubes made of juices, yogurt, milk or fruit purées on hand to substitute for plain ice to make smoothies and frosty beverages without diluting the drink.

For quick cleaning, add 1 cup (250 ml) of warm water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar. Cover and blend on Low or High for 30 seconds or more as needed. Discard the soapy water and rinse blender thoroughly before the next use.
