DONT!! Hot liquid or Puree will expand in the blender or the jar, which can push the top lid off in great pressure which can result in Mess and severe burns or injuries.
Following things you should never do :
Never blend or grind anything hot
Frozen Fruits
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Starchy Vegetables or Potatoes.
WHY DON'T I SEE MACHINE WITH HIGHER WATTAGE OR ABOVE 550W?
550watts is still powerful and the right wattage for all food preparation. Extra wattage is required for industrial size jar and usage. For a jar size of max (1.75ltr), the ideal watts required is 550w on a 110v cycle. In addition, as the power goes up the sound parameters also increase. Hence this is something consumers should keep in mind.
WHY MY GRINDER IS OVERHEATING AND PRODUCING SMOKE?
The appliance may produce some smoke when you use it for the first time. It is normal for a new product to produce an unpleasant smell or emit some smoke when it is first used. This phenomenon stops after you have used the appliance a few times. The appliance may have been running for too long
However, to avoid any motor being burned out we recommend the correct usage to prevent overheating/unpleasant smells or emitting some smoke.
In case of any events leading to this please stop using the machine and contact the support line for assistance. Do Not Use the machine in case of any smoke or any signs of overheating. Never leave the machine unattended.
