Hints For Setting Speeds - Vitamix TURBOBLEND TWO SPEED Owner's Manual

To minimize splatter, always start with the High/Variable Switch in the Variable
( ) position and with the center Variable Speed Dial pointed at 1. Do not begin
processing on Variable 10 or directly on the High ( ) setting.
Activate the machine by turning the On/Off Switch to On (|) and slowly turn the
Variable Speed Dial to the desired speed depending on the recipe used. If a recipe
calls for processing on High ( ) , slowly rotate the Variable Speed Dial to 10 and
then push the High/Variable Switch up into the High ( ) position.
Process on the High ( ) setting for as much of the processing time as possible.
Processing times will generally be less than one minute (most take less than 30
seconds). High ( ) 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 a speed setting will overheat the machine
and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn the machine off. Use the
High ( ) speed as often as possible to achieve the most uniform consistency.
Blending on High ( ) speed also maximizes the motor's cooling fan to
avoid overheating.
When on High ( ) , 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 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
High ( ) and continue processing.
CAUTION
To Avoid Possible Burns, Never Start
on Speeds Above 1 when Processing
Hot Liquids. Always start on Variable 1,
then slowly increase to 10.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents
may scald.
To secure the contents, lock the lid and
lid cap securely in place prior to operating
the machine.
