A:Answer Hi Noxshuz,
When your ingredients are added to the jug there is an order - Vegetables first followed by uncooked or cooked meats, then adding the liquids in the jug up to the fill level, between MIN and MAX - Then, you are supposed to manually stir all of your ingredients mixture in the jug by hand before installing the motor unit back on top of the jug.
On Page 10 of the Instructions - Number 5 states, "Stir the liquid and ingredients (Fig 13).
Hope that answers your question . . . . .
