To make tomato juice, cut the tomatoes in four and drop the pieces through the opening in the lid onto the rotating blades. Never reach into the jar with your fingers or an object (e.g. a spatula while the blender is running. If you are processing solid and liquid ingredients at the same time, pour the liquid ingredients in the jar before switching the appliance on.Add the solid ingredients while the appliance is running.
