Wet Blade Container: Designed for processing liquids, including juice,
frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purees, batters, and for wet chopping.
The wet blades can also grind grain and knead dough, but they are
not quite as efficient as the dry blades in this application. If used for
grinding, your container will mar and become cloudy; see instructions
for dry container use.
Dry Blade Container: These blades are clearly marked “D” and are
designed specifically for grinding dry materials such as grains, cereal,
and coffee, and are also used for kneading bread dough. The dry blades
can NOT process liquids efficiently. If you grind herbs on a regular basis,
you may wish to purchase a separate dry blade container and replace
blades as needed.
CAUTION
Moving Parts
May Become
Hot With
Extended
Use.
DO NOT touch.
WARNING
Rotating Blades Can
Cause Severe Injury.
DO NOT put hands, spatulas, etc. in the
container while the machine is running or
while the container is still on the base.
