In extreme cases, they may scald, so, when using hot liquids: a) before pouring into the jug, let the liquid cool down to the sort of temperature you can handle comfortably (i. e. liquid temperature below 40°C). 4 b) run the motor only when the cap is fitted ­ to add ingredients, stop the motor, remove the cap, add the ingredients, replace the cap, then re-start the motor c) put a hand on the lid, to hold it in place while blending d) if the lid is too hot for comfort, remove it and let the liquid cool down further ­ replace the lid before blending crushed ice U 34 Make sure the blender is clean, and rinse it out thoroughly.
