•
When blending soups and sauces, it is recommended
to use 2 cups of mixture at any time.

When using several ingredients, place liquid
ingredients in the jug first.

aid in the ice crushing process. Continue pulsing
until the ice is completely crushed and it has a snow
flake texture .

When blending thick or dry mixtures it may be
necessary to stop the Powermax and scrape down
the sides of the jug, once or twice during blending.
