release the desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You
determine the duration of each pulse. While pulsing, all indica-
tor 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; how-
ever, 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 meas-
ured 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 THE BLENDER
OFF. Replace the cover and measured pour lid and continue
blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula is not inside the
blender jar before blending.
9. WHEN FINISHED BLENDING: press the “Off” button and
unplug the blender from the electrical outlet. Never remove the
blender jar from the motor base until the blender is off. Do not
twist locking ring from blender jar when removing jar from
motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base. Do not
place hands into blender jar with blender plugged in.
