600-watt Blender features a 5-minute Count-UpTimer, so that you can time your recipes and guarantee perfect results.

The timer begins counting from 0 as soon as you push your desired speed: HIGH, LOW, PULSE or ICE CRUSH. The timer will continue to count up even if you change speeds during blending. You can pause the timer by pausing the blending process. Do this by pushing the button corresponding to the speed at which you are currently blending. For example: If you are blending in LOW speed and you push the LOW speed button, the blender will stop blending and the timer will stop counting, but the unit will remain on. To continue blending and timing your recipe, push one of the speed buttons. The timer will also stop counting when it reaches 5:00 minutes. The timer will only reset itself when the OFF button is pushed.

4.START BLENDING: Press the ON button. The red LED indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the blender is turned on but no speed has been selected.

5.CHOOSE BLENDING SPEED: Press HIGH or LOW button to determine the speed at which you would like to blend the ingredients. Both the “On” indicator light and the activated speed indicator light will glow. The blender will now be functioning at the desired speed. It is possible to switch speeds without pressing the OFF button, by simply pushing the other speed button.

Note: The Count-Uptimer will begin counting when the desired speed button is pushed. The timer will continue to count if you change speeds.

6.TO PAUSE OR STOP BLENDING PROCESS: a. To Pause Blending Process:

Push the button corresponding to the speed at which you are currently blending. For example: If you are blending on HIGH speed, push the HIGH speed button and the blender will stop blending, but the unit will remain on.

Push the PULSE button, and the pulse LED indicator light will blink. Push and release the desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of each pulse.

The pulse function is also effective in starting the blending process when you do not want continuous power, or when processing items that do not require an extended amount of blending.

Note: The timer will count when you push or hold down the PULSE button. The timer will pause when you release the PULSE button.

8.TO CRUSH ICE: The SmartPower Premier600-Watt Blender motor is strong enough to crush ice without liquid at any speed; however for your convenience, we have preset the best speed for ice crushing.
