“MIN” - runs the blender at low speed.
This speed should be used for the initial
30 seconds of mixing as well as for
dispensing.
“MAX” - runs the appliance at high
speed. Use this speed for the final
stages of mixing. Do not use this speed
for dispensing.
“SMOOTHIE” – runs at high speed and
should be used for making frozen drinks.
“ICE CRUSH” – pulsates the blender at
a high speed to crush ice and frozen
ingredients.
“PULSE” - gives short bursts of power at high speed.
BLENDER OPERATION:
1. Assemble the blade base onto the blending jar.
2. Add ingredients to the blending jar and replace the lid. You may add more
ingredients through the hole in the center of the lid. Cover the hole with the lid
cap or stir stick during operation. Note: Add liquid ingredients first, then add
frozen or solid ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear and stress on the
motor.
3. To start blending: From the “OFF” position move the dial to the desired speed
or press the desired function. The blue LED light will become brighter as the
dial is moved from “MIN” toward “MAX.”
4. To stop blending: To stop the blending process, return the dial to the “OFF”
position.
PULSE MODE: The “PULSE” button allows you to create short bursts of power. To
use the “PULSE” function, from the “ON” position repeatedly push and release the
“PULSE” button. The “PULSE” function should be used in the initial stage of
blending ice and frozen ingredients for smoothies and other frozen drinks. The
“PULSE” function should also be used to break apart larger pieces of food or to
control the texture of food when chunkier results are desired. The “PULSE” button
should be operated in short bursts. As the “PULSE” button is pressed and released,
the blades should stop rotating between pulses.
ICE CRUSH: The “ICE CRUSH” button allows you to crush ice and other frozen
ingredients. In selecting “ICE CRUSH” the motor will pulsate to a high speed until the
desired consistency is reached.
SMOOTHIE: The “SMOOTHIE” button runs the motor at a high speed to smooth out
ice and frozen ingredients. Perfect for creating smooth, frozen drinks.
