(the on, the pulse, and the desired speed lights) will glow. The

pulse function can be used to break apart larger pieces of food

or to control the texture of food when chopping. The pulse

function is also effective in starting the blending process when

you do not want continuous power, or when processing items

which do not require an extended amount of blending.

7. To crush ice: The PowerBlend Duet™ 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. To give you greater control, the ice crush function

automatically operates as a pulse function. To crush ice, place

ice cubes in the blender jar, and place the cover and the

measured pour lid on the blender jar. Press the On button.

Press the Ice Crush button in short pulses until ice is crushed

to desired consistency. See the Recipe Tips section in recipe

booklet for more details.

8. To dislodge food: Use a rubber or plastic spatula to help

remove food lodged around the cutting assembly. Do not

use spatula until you have turned the blender

off.
