“OFF” - turns the appliance off. “ON” – turns the appliance on.
“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.
