Small droplets may appear in the container contents bubble as pressure builds up and as the air is being released as it’s blending.

Push the raised small bump on top of the valve on the container once to ensure it is fully seated inside. It is very important that the valve is inserted fully. The flat ring on the bottom of the valve that sits inside of the container should be positioned over the ribs that surround the hole on the inside of the container.

If it is hard to remove the Blending Blade from the container after blending, push the valve to the side once to release pressure inside the vessel. Remove blending blade.
