General Usage Steps:

3. Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly on the jar. Ensure it is properly seated to prevent spillage during operation.
4. Select Speed: Turn the knob to the desired speed setting (1, 2, or 3). For quick bursts, use the "Whip" option by turning the knob counter-clockwise and holding it. Release to stop.
5. Monitor Grinding: Observe the consistency through the lid. If needed, stop the appliance, open the lid, and scrape down the sides with a spatula before resuming.
6. Switch Off: After achieving the desired consistency, turn the knob to the "OFF" position. Wait for the blades to stop completely before removing the jar.
7. Remove Jar: Gently twist the jar counter-clockwise and lift it off the motor unit.

Note: The mixer grinder features a high torque and high-speed 800-watt copper motor for efficient grinding. Always follow the recommended operating times to prevent overheating.
