5.1 Preparing Your Drink

1. Pour in the Liquid: Open the lid and pour your prepared beverage into the blender container. Ensure the liquid level does not exceed the MAX fill line.
2. Important Note on Ingredients: For optimal freezing and to prevent damage, ensure your ingredients meet the minimum sugar content requirements. Liquids with insufficient sugar (e.g., diet sodas) may freeze solid. Avoid adding solid chunks of fruit or ice directly; blend them into a liquid consistency first. Pre-chilling ingredients can also speed up the freezing process.
