PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION • Make sure blender jar is seated correctly on the base. • Make sure jar nut is fully tightened on jar. • Make sure lid with filler cap is pushed down tightly on jar. • See "Blending Tips" below. • Make sure enough liquid has been added. If mixture is too thick, continue to add liquid until mixture is blended to desired consistencey. A minimum of 8 ounces (250 ml) is recommended. • Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites, grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables. The blender is not made to perform these tasks. Blending Tips Optional Accessories Crushing Ice For best performance, when a recipe calls for liquid, place the liquid in blender jar followed by the ice cubes. Ensure ice cubes are separated. When only crushed ice is desired, add 1 cup (250 ml) of ice cubes to jar. Place lid on blender jar then Pulse. Allow blades to come to a complete stop between pulses. Continue until ice is crushed to desired consistency. For best results always crush ice immediately after removing from freezer.
