Variable Speed
Before using the Variable Speed option, always begin with the Variable Speed Dial marker pointing to the
Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial.
1. Rotate the dial to the 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 stated in the recipe for as much of the processing time as possible to make
smoothies, soup, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butter, and for grinding grain. Processing times will
generally be less than one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). The higher speed provides the best
quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruit or vegetables, and grains to a smooth,
lump-free consistency.
Blending for too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic
Overload Protection to turn off the machine. Blending on a higher speed maximises the working of 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 cap and stir until it “burps”. If this does not work, press the On/Off 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.
Programmes
Programme blending speeds and duration vary and will stop automatically at the end of the programme.
• The Smoothie ( ) programme runs for approximately 45 seconds.
• The Frozen Dessert ( ) programme runs for approximately 55 seconds.
• The Hot Soup ( ) programme runs for approximately 6 minutes, 30 seconds.
