release the desired speed button. Repeat as desired. You determine the duration of each pulse. While pulsing, all indica- tor lights (the on, the pulse, and the desired speed) 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 SmartPower™ Electronic Blender motor is strong enough to crush ice without liquid at any speed; how- ever, 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 meas- ured 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 on page 7 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. Replace the cover and measured pour lid and continue blending, if necessary. Make sure spatula is not inside the blender jar before blending.

9.WHEN FINISHED BLENDING: press the “Off” button and unplug the blender from the electrical outlet. Never remove the blender jar from the motor base until the blender is off. Do not twist locking ring from blender jar when removing jar from motor base. Simply lift blender jar from motor base. Do not place hands into blender jar with blender plugged in.
