Tips
◗To prevent spillage, do not put more than 1.5 litres of liquid in the blender jar, especially when you are processing at a high speed. Do not put more than 1 litre in the blender jar when you are processing hot liquids or ingredients that tend to foam.
◗You can use the opening in the lid to add ingredients while the motor is running (fig. 7).
◗Do not process dry ingredients for more than 1 minute.
◗Cut solid ingredients into smaller pieces before putting them in the blender jar. Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time. Process these ingredients in a series of small batches instead.
◗If you are not satisfied with the result when blending solid ingredients, switch the blender off and use the pulse setting a few times to let the blender run briefly.You can also stir the ingredients with a spatula (not while the blender is running!) or remove some of the contents of the jar and process smaller amounts.
◗To crush ice cubes put max. 5 cubes at a time in the jar and press the ice button a few times.
HR2074 only:The jar is made of glass and therefore breakable. Do not drop the jar on a hard floor.Also avoid extreme thermal shocks. If the jar is very cold, rinse it well with lukewarm water before pouring hot liquid into it. If the glass jar cracks, stop using it.

Preparing the filter for use
