1. On/Off Switch (l)/(O): The On/Off Switch controls the power to the machine base. The On/Off Switch
is located on the front of the machine. After plugging in the unit, make sure that the marker on the
Variable Speed Dial points to the Stop Symbol ( ) at the top of the dial and move the On/Off Switch
to the On position.
Move the On/Off Switch to the Off position at night and whenever the machine is left unattended.
If the On/Off switch is moved to the Off position to stop a programme mid-cycle, wait 30 seconds for
power to recycle and the timer to reset before moving the On/Off switch back to the On position.
2. On/Off Light: The On/Off light is located at the front of the machine above the On/Off switch. When
lit, the machine is plugged in and the On/Off switch is in the On position. The light will flash when a
programme is nearing completion.
3. Start ( ) / Stop ( ) Switch:
After the marker on the Variable Speed Dial is rotated from the Stop Symbol ( ) either to Variable
Speed 1 or a Programme setting, press the Start/Stop Switch to start the machine and initiate the
blending process. Pressing the Start/Stop Switch again will stop the blending process.
Programmes can be interrupted by pushing down the Start/Stop switch at any time. If reactivated by
pushing down the Start/Stop switch, the programme will start at the beginning.
