Placing Blender into Operation
Make sure that the switch is in the off position, “O/Off.” Unwind the electrical cord to the necessary length and plug into wall outlet. The blender is now ready for operation.
Normally when blending, the blender jar should be filled with the entire amount of material to be blended, if possible, before switching the appliance on. The cover and cover closure should always be in place after filling the blender jar and before switching the power unit to On. Any subsequent additions to the blended material should be made through the cover opening, see figure
12.For solids and/or granular material, remove the cover closure/funnel to add the material, as shown in figure 12a. For liquids, the closure/funnel may be left in place and the liquids added by pouring it into the closure/funnel, see figure 12b.
Example of Use of Blender

Tips:
The blender should be operated with careful consideration as to what is required and/or desired. The speed at which the blender is operated and the length of operation for a given job will depend upon the degree of fineness desired or the amount being blended.
