HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS

Hints for Setting Speeds

To minimize splatter, Always begin the blending process with the Variable Speed Dial set to 1 and slowly increase the speed to the desired setting.

Use the highest setting called out in the recipe for as much of the processing time as possible to make whole-food juices, soups, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butters, and for grinding grains. Processing times will generally be less than one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). Higher speed provides the best quality of refinement, breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruits or vegetables, and grains to a smooth, lump-free consistency.

Tip: Blending too long at too low of a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn off the machine. Blending on higher speed maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating.

If the food does not circulate, the machine may be overloaded or may have trapped an air bubble. Carefully remove the lid plug while making sure that the lid stays firmly in place. Release the air bubble by inserting the tamper through the lid plug opening. If circulation problems continue, reduce the machine speed. A lower speed may allow food to circulate when a higher speed does not. Once the food is circulating freely, increase the speed back to the higher setting and continue processing.

CAUTION

Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with Hot

Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.

Use Caution; escaping steam or splashes may scald.

Lock the lid. This will prevent expansion from affecting the position of the lid when the machine is turned on.

Start on Variable 1, slowly increase to 10.
