4. Operating Instructions
Once the blender is assembled and ingredients are added, you can begin blending.
- Connect to Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

- Blending: Allow the blender to operate until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Adding Ingredients During Blending: If you need to add ingredients while blending, remove the measuring cup from the lid's central opening and carefully add items through the spout. Replace the measuring cup immediately.
- Finish Blending: Once done, turn the control dial to the '0' (Off) position and unplug the appliance from the power outlet.
