Add more liquid if food is not blending properly. • If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend efficiently. • Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables. • Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar. • Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or at any time.
