Variable Speed
Before using the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial
marker pointed at the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
1. Rotate the dial right to Variable Speed 1.
2. To activate the blending process, press down on the Start / Stop Switch.
3. Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the
recipe used.
4. At the end of the blending cycle, rotate the Variable Speed dial back to the
Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
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.
Blending too long at too low of a speed setting will overheat the
machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn o the
machine. Blending on higher speed maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to
avoid overheating.
If the mixture stops circulating, you may have trapped an air bubble. To resolve
Insert the tamper through the lid plug and stir until it “burps.” If this does not
work, press the On / O switch to stop the motor. Remove the container
from the motor base, and use a rubber spatula to press the air bubble away
from the blades. Return the container to the motor base, replace the lid, and
continue blending.
CAUTION
Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with
Hot Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents
may scald.
To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid
plug securely in place prior to operating
the machine.
Always start on Variable 1, slowly increase
to 10.
