5.3 CLASSIC 475™
SMOOTHIE
This cycle is designed specifically for various types of smoothies and thick
drinks that frequently use dense or frozen ingredients� It slows down and
speeds up automatically during the course of the cycle� This allows the blender
to draw the ingredients into the blending vortex, creating the desired texture�
INCREMENTAL SPEEDS
The Classic 475 comes with three incremental speed cycles that allow you to
completely customize the consistency of your blend� Each manual cycle is 50
seconds long and blends at the following speeds:
• Lo: Speed 1
• Medium: Speed 5
• Hi: Speed 9
You can switch to a different speed at any point during the cycle� To stop the
cycle at any point during blending, press Stop�
PULSE
The Pulse function is used for chopping, mincing, whipping, or other momentary
tasks that do not require a long blend cycle� You can also Pulse
a blend before serving�
The Pulse setting runs at speed 7 and will only run while the Pulse
remains pressed� When the icon is released, the motor shuts off�
to quickly stir
