5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Filling the Blending Vessel
Add your desired ingredients to one of the blending vessels. For best results, add liquids first, followed by soft ingredients, then leafy greens, and finally ice or frozen fruits on top. Do not exceed the MAX fill line on the vessel.
5.2 Attaching the Blade Assembly
Screw the Mega Blade assembly onto the open end of the blending vessel until it is securely tightened. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
5.3 Blending
Invert the assembled vessel and blade, then place it onto the blender base. Align the tabs on the vessel with the slots on the base and twist clockwise until it locks into place. Plug the blender into a 120V power outlet.
