5. High-Quality Cutting
Assembly with Patented
Stainless Steel Blades
is strong enough for all blender
tasks, including tough jobs,
from ice crushing to
chopping delicate herbs.
Note: Blades are very
sharp…handle carefully.
6. Collar
is self-aligning so that the glass
blender jar slides easily into
position, eliminating the
frustration of twisting and
turning the blender jar to
lock it into place.
7. Heavy-duty Motor Base
is so sturdy and stable, it will not
“walk” on your counter – even
during ice 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. 5-Speed Touch Pad Control
with Indicator Lights
is easy to use, read and clean.
Five 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
allows you to pulse at any speed
from high to low, so you can
blend ingredients only as much
as needed.
8b. Ice Crush Button
(Blender Only)
activates the ice crushing speed.
This button is preset to the best
speed for crushed ice. However,
you can crush ice at any speed.
The food processor attachment is
not intended to crush ice.
Use the blender jar for this.
8c. Food Processor Button
is preset to the best speed for all
food processing tasks. Always use
this button when food
processing. This speed may also
be used with blender jar.
