7. PULSE: Pulse allows you to create short bursts of power. To use the pulse
function, repeatedly rotate and release the speed dial to “PULSE.” The PULSE
function should be used in the initial stages 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.
8. BLENDING: Choose a speed for blending the ingredients by rotating speed dial
and selecting speed (whip, mix, grate, blend and pulse).
9. The blue LED light will be on during operation.
10. Use rubber spatula to push ingredients to be chopped into liquid portion of
recipe ONLY when motor is OFF.
11. Switch to a higher speed if the motor seems to labor when processing to prevent
overloading of the motor.
12. Stop the blending process by turning to the “OFF" position.
13. Wait until blades stop rotating before removing blending jar.
14. Remove blender jar by turning counter-clockwise on base to
unlock.
STIR STICK OPERATION – When in use and while the machine
is running, stir or rotate the Stir Stick in a counter-clockwise
direction so that the Stir Stick scrapes or contacts the sides of
the blending jar. This stirring operation will aid in mixing the
contents of the blending jar by forcing the ingredients into the
mixing blades.

•
Always add liquid ingredients to the blending jar first and then add remaining
solid or frozen ingredients. This will prevent excessive wear on the motor and
ensure that the ingredients are properly blended. Do not fill above the “MAX” fill
line (48 oz/6 cups).
•
To add other ingredients when the blender is operating, remove stir stick or lid
cap from lid and add ingredients through opening. Replace lid cap and lock in
place before processing.
•
The stir stick may be used to assist in making frozen drinks or for blending any
other types of ingredients. When the stir stick is not being used, be sure to place
the lid cap over the hole in the center of the lid.
•
Turn the stir stick counter-clockwise for best mixing results.
•
When chopping dry ingredients such as breadcrumbs, nuts, spices, etc., make
sure that the blending jar and blades are completely dry.
•
The pulse speed should be operated in short bursts. As the pulse speed is
activated and released, the blades should stop rotating between pulses.
