HINTS FOR SETTING SPEEDS

Always start the machine with the Variable Speed dial down to the MIN position. Slowly turn the Variable Speed Dial to
the desired speed depending on the recipe used. If a recipe calls for processing on MAX, slowly rotate the Variable
Speed Dial clockwise. Do not begin processing on MAX, always start with the Variable Speed Dial at MIN.
Process on the MAX setting 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). MAX 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 MAX speed as often as possible to achieve the most uniform consistency. Blending on
MAX speed also maximizes the motor's cooling fan to avoid overheating.
