•Some of the tasks that cannot be performed efficiently with a blender are: beating egg whites, whipping cream, mashing potatoes, mixing dough, and extracting juices from fruits and vegetables.

•The following items should never be placed in the unit as they may cause damage: dried spices and herbs (ground alone), bones, large pieces of solidly frozen foods, tough foods such as turnips.

•Use the lid cap to measure ingredients up to 60 ml (2 oz.) when adding ingredients like lemon juice, cream, or liqueurs.
