HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS
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 affecting the position of the lid
when the machine is turned on.
Start on Variable 1, slowly increase to 10.
CAUTION
Hints for Setting Speeds
To minimize splatter, Always begin the blending process with the Variable Speed Dial set to 1 and slowly
increase the speed to the desired setting.
Use the highest
setting called out in the recipe 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). Higher 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 of a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic
Overload Protection to turn off the machine. Blending on higher speed maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to
avoid overheating.
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 that 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 the higher setting and continue processing.
