Tips for Best Blending Results
- Liquid First: Always add liquids first, then soft ingredients, and finally frozen fruits or ice.
- Do Not Overfill: Adhere to the MAX FILL line to prevent spills and ensure proper blending.
- Frozen Ingredients: The BlastBlade Assembly is designed to handle frozen ingredients. For very hard or large frozen items, consider breaking them into smaller pieces.
- Smooth Consistency: If your blend is too thick, add more liquid and blend again.
- Battery Life: For consistent performance, ensure the blender is adequately charged before use. The blender cannot operate while charging.
