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.
• Rotate the dial right to Variable Speed 1.
• To activate the blending process, press down on the Start / Stop Switch.
• Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending
on the recipe used.
• 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.
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 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 / 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.
