tasks, including tough jobs, from
ice crushing to chopping
delicate herbs.

turning the blender jar to lock
it into place.

crushing! The motor is strong
enough to handle all blending
tasks, including crushing ice
without liquid, and is backed by a
three-year limited warranty.
8. 7-Speed Touchpad Control
with Indicator Lights
Easy to use, read and clean.
Seven speeds give you great
versatility – use low speeds for
delicate blending all the way up to
high speeds for cheese, garlic, or
lemon zest. The red LED lights
clearly indicate what blender
speed you are using.
8a. Pulse Button

from high to low, so you can
blend ingredients only as much
as needed.
8b. Ice Crush Button
(Blender Only)

speed. This button is preset to
the best speed for crushed ice.

crush ice. Use the blender jar
for this.

Always use this button when
food processing. This speed
