1. On / O Switch:
The On / Off (or Power) Switch is on the right-hand side of the machine base.
The On / Off Switch controls the power to the machine. BEFORE moving the On / Off
Switch to the On (I) position, make sure the Start / Stop Switch is in the Stop ( )
position and the Variable Speed Dial is to the far left, pointed at number 1. Move
the On / Off Switch to the Off position whenever the machine will be left unattended.
2. On / O Indication:
When the Pulse ( ) and Start ( ) symbols brighten, this indicates that the
machine is plugged in, the On / Off Switch is powered On, and power is flowing.
3. Start ( ) / Stop ( ) Switch:
Before starting, always make sure that the Variable Speed Dial is to the far left,
pointed at number 1. Lifting the Start / Stop Switch to the Start Position ( ) starts
the rotation of the blades and begins the blending process. Pressing down on the
Start / Stop Switch to the Stop Position ( ) will stop the blending process.
4. Variable Speed Dial:
The Variable Speed Dial selects blade rotation speeds from 1 to 10 (low to high).
Always begin the blending process with the Variable Speed Dial set to 1. Make
sure that the On / Off Switch is in the On (I) position. Move the Start / Stop Switch
to the Start ( ) position. Rotate the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed
setting. To stop the machine, rotate the Variable Speed Dial back to 1 and move
the Start / Stop Switch back to Stop ( ) position. If the Variable Speed function
is not working and the blades only rotate at the lowest speed (Variable Speed 1)
the blender must be reset. Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 17.
5. Pulse Switch ( ):
Pressing down on the Pulse Switch will cause the machine to blend at the speed
setting shown on Variable Speed Dial for as long as the Pulse Switch is held down.
