you know that the blender is still ON and
can be reactivated by pushing the desired
speed button. The blender can be
completely deactivated and stopped at any
speed by pushing the OFF button. You will
need to press the ON button again to
continue blending.
6. PULSE MODE: while the blender is turned
ON, you can create a burst of power for quick,
efficient blending by activating the PULSE
function. To do so, first push the PULSE
button, which will cause the PULSE indicator
light to flash. Next, push and release the
desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You
determine the duration of each pulse. While
pulsing, all indicator lights (the ON, the
PULSE, and the desired SPEED) will glow.
The PULSE function can be used to break
apart larger pieces of food or to control the
texture of food when chopping. The PULSE
function is also effective in starting the blending
process when you do not want continuous
power, or when processing items which do not
require an extended amount of blending.
7. TO CRUSH ICE:
the SmartPower
Electronic Blender motor is strong enough to
crush ice without liquid at any speed; however,
for your convenience we have preset the best
speed for ice crushing. To give you greater
control, the ICE CRUSH function
automatically operates as a PULSE function.
To crush ice, place ice cubes in the blender jar,
and place the cover and the measured pour lid
on the blender jar. Press the ON button. Press
the ICE CRUSH button in short pulses until ice
is crushed to desired consistency. See the
"Recipe Tips" section on page 7 for more details.
8. TO DISLODGE FOOD: use a rubber
or plastic spatula to help remove food lodged
around the cutting assembly. DO NOT USE
SPATULA UNTIL YOU HAVE TURNED
OFF THE BLENDER. Replace the cover
and measured pour lid and continue
