Using your Ballarini Tesoro blender is a breeze. First, choose the right blending jar depending on how much you're making - the 1 - liter Tritan jar for larger batches or the 473 - ml personal jar for single servings. Place your ingredients in the jar and put on the lid. To start blending, use the back - lit LED rotary speed dial to select your desired speed. You can also use the pre - set programs for soup, smoothies, or vegetables, or the pulse function for quick bursts of blending. If you have hard - to - process ingredients, use the tamper tool to guide them towards the blade. When you're done, make sure to unplug the blender. To clean, use the Blade Removal Tool to detach the blade from the jar. Wash the jars, lids, and blade in warm, soapy water. Don't submerge the base of the blender in water. Keep the blender in a dry place. Check the safety shut - off feature regularly to ensure it's working properly. This will help your blender last a long time and keep making delicious drinks and meals for you and your guests.
