Never Start on Speeds Above 1 with Hot
Liquids to Avoid Possible Burns.
Escaping steam, splashes or contents may scald.
To secure the contents, lock the lid and lid plug
securely in place prior to operating the machine.
Always start on Variable 1, slowly increase to 10.
1. Make sure that the Variable Speed dial is set to 1.
2. To begin the blending process, press down on the
Start/Stop Switch.
3. Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to the desired
speed, depending on the recipe used.
4. At the end of the blending cycle, press down on the
Start/Stop Switch to stop the blending process. Rotate
the Variable Speed Dial back to Variable Speed 1.
Use the highest setting stated in the recipe for as much
of the processing time as possible to make smoothies,
soup, shakes, frozen mixtures, purées, nut butter, and for
15
grinding grain. Processing times will generally be less
than one minute (most take less than 30 seconds). The
higher speed provides the best quality of refinement,
breaking down ice, frozen fruit, whole fruit or vegetables,
and grains to a smooth, lump-free consistency.
Blending for too long at too low a speed setting will
overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload
Protection to turn off the machine. Blending on a higher
speed maximises the working of the motor's cooling fan
to avoid overheating.
