blender. To chop, grate or prepare fruit smoothies using fresh or
frozen fruit, cut foods into ¾ in. (2 cm.) pieces.

liquid, pour the liquid into the jar first, then add solids.

blender are: beating egg whites, whipping cream, mashing potatoes,
grinding meats, mixing dough, and extracting juices from fruits and
vegetables.

cause damage: bones, large pieces of solid frozen foods, or tough
foods such as turnips.

cups of ice cubes. Hold one hand firmly on the lid: pulse the ice crush
button. If more ice is needed, remove the cap and add cubes one by
one through the hole in the lid. DO NOT CRUSH ICE WITHOUT
LIQUID. Failure to follow these directions can result in damage to the
blades, jar, bender, and possibly result in personal injury. and Bowl
