  2. Load Jar: Place the prepared ingredients into the chosen jar.
  3. Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly on the jar and ensure it is properly seated. For jars with dome lids, ensure the dome is securely in place.

The mixer grinder features Turbo Vent Technology, which helps keep the motor cool during operation, extending its lifespan and preventing heat transfer to ingredients. The chrome-plated handles are designed for comfortable and secure handling.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
