HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS
Always start the machine with the left switch down in the Variable ( ) position and with the center
Variable Speed Dial on 1. Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the recipe
used. If a recipe calls for processing on High
(
)
, slowly rotate the Variable Speed Dial to 10 and then push
the High/Variable Switch up into the High
(
)
position. Do not begin processing on Variable 10 or directly
on the High
(
)
setting.
Process on the High
(
)
setting for as much of the processing time as possible to make whole food juices,
soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butters and for grinding grains. Processing times will generally
be less than one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). High
(
)
speed provides the best quality
of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables, and grains to a smooth
lump-free consistency.
TIP: Blending too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic
Overload Protection to turn the machine off. Use the High
(
)
speed as often as possible to achieve the
most uniform consistency. Blending on High
(
)
speed also maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to
avoid overheating.
When on the High
(
)
, if the food does not circulate, the machine may be overloaded or may have trapped
an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug while making sure the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air
bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening. If circulation problems continue, reduce the
machine speed. A lower speed may allow food to circulate when a higher speed does not. Once the food is
circulating freely, increase the speed back to High
(
)
and continue processing.
Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with
Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.
Use Caution; escaping steam or
splashes may scald.
Lock the lid. This will prevent
expansion from aecting the
position of the lid when the
machine is turned on.
Start on Variable 1, slowly
increase to 10.
