Avoid overfilling the jar, blending very hard items without liquid, running the blender continuously for too long, or using it without securing the lid.
Is it safe to blend hot liquids in this blender?

Charging time varies, but most rechargeable blenders take a few hours to reach a full charge, depending on the power source.
